1. Green Aromatics: Catalytic Valorisation of bio-derived 2,5-dimethylfuran over Zeolites and Zeotypes
Abstract : This thesis discusses the use of biomass as a potentially green feedstock for the chemical industry in the urgent shift away from fossil resources. I elaborate on reasons why we cannot afford to burn virgin biomass for energy production, among them a variety of ecosystem services that forests and other lands provide. READ MORE

2. Synthesis of protic ionic liquids. Challenges and solutions for the synthesis of pure compounds
Abstract : The urgent need to diversify our energy matrix is responsible for a renewed interest in fuel cell technology, which can use hydrogen gas, a renewable green fuel, as an energy source. This technology is currently a commercially available option, however, it still requires technological improvements before it can be widely used for different applications. READ MORE

3. Green Chemistry in Chemical Education and Synthetic Applications of Sulfinamides
Abstract : The preparation of chiral molecules, i.e. compounds that are not identical to their mirror image, is of great interest in the field of organic chemistry. READ MORE

4. Green aromatics for a bio-based economy - Valorization of biomass derived model compounds over zeolites studied by online analysis
Abstract : In the strive towards sustainable chemical production, its carbon-based products can no longer be produced from fossil resources but need to be manufactured from a renewable feedstock. Simple aromatic building blocks like benzene, toluene and xylenes (BTX) can be obtained by catalytic valorization of biomass derived platform molecules such as furans provided efficient catalysts can be formulated.

5. N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalysis in Organic Synthesis - A Green Chemistry Approach
Abstract : The twelve principles of green chemistry were created as a response to the multiple environmental issues caused by the release of waste from the chemical industry. The principles acts as a guide in the development of sustainable chemical processes for the syntheses of important molecules needed to sustain our living standards. READ MORE
