One‐Pot Depolymerization, Demethylation, and Phenolation of Lignin for Bioactive Polyphenol Production

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
Low‐cost lignin was upgraded in an acidic lithium bromide (LiBr) solution via integrated depolymerization, demethylation, and phenolation to yield bioactive polyphenols with enhanced phenolic hydroxyl content. The resulting polyphenols exhibited strong antioxidant and antibacterial activities, along with low cytotoxicity and promising in vivo ...

Simulating competition in the US bioeconomy to produce hard‐to‐electrify transportation fuels using limited biomass resources

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 4, Page 1895-1910, July/August 2026.
Abstract This study presents a novel bioeconomy optimization framework, BiOpt, designed to address critical questions regarding the strategic use of limited US biomass resources for biofuel production. By integrating detailed techno‐economic analyses, life cycle assessments, and resource assessment data, BiOpt optimizes resource distributions across ...

Nature‐Positive Materials Engineering: Carbon Electrodes from Satoyama Biomass

The Chemical Record, Volume 26, Issue 7, July 2026.
Nature‐positive materials engineering can link satoyama forest stewardship with the design of carbon electrodes for batteries, supercapacitors, and electrocatalysis. By turning underused firewood and charcoal resources into functional carbons, this approach reduces mining footprints while supporting biodiversity, landscape resilience, and regional ...

Growth, mortality and regeneration responses to ecological forestry treatments are shaped by local factors, species, and initial treatment impact

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
In mixed stands, coniferous species showed growth benefits when coexisting with broadleaf species, possibly due to reduced intraspecific competition or improved access to resources mediated by broadleaf neighbours. This growth advantage was not observed for broadleaf species, indicating asymmetric benefits in mixed stands.

Greenhouse Gas Reduction Potential Through Bioheat for Remote Communities in Northeastern Ontario

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.
Heating infrastructure in remote areas has high potential for fuel switching, possibly leading to decreased greenhouse gas emissions. Using a simplified life cycle analysis approach, we show that woody residues from the forest industry have the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to commonly used fossil fuels.

Sandblasting Wood as a Technique of Simulated Weathering

Applied Sciences
While most efforts are aimed at preventing the surface roughening and colour change of wood due to weathering, some customers, mainly for decorative reasons, want wooden objects and elements to give the impression that they have been weathered for a long
