Reductive depolymerization shows promise in converting lignin into marketable products, expanding industrial applications.
Technical and economic assessments indicate that pilot-scale processes can be economically viable for lignin use.
The analysis employs both technical assessment and economic evaluation to explore lignin's market potential.
The implications suggest a need for further development in reductive depolymerization methodologies.
Abstract
The industrial potential of pilot-scale reductive depolymerization approaches is critically assessed from a technical, techno-economic, and application point of view.
