DOI: 10.1021/acssuschemeng.7b01316
Abstract: In the search for a “green gasoline”, a new reformulation strategy, having no or reduced amount of aromatics, is proposed. Biomass-derived alkyl levulinates (ALs) are prospected as oxygenated additives as well as blending components to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1515/chem-2018-0070
Abstract: Abstract Biodiesel has poor cold flow properties due to their high saturated fatty acid content. Ethyl levulinate is used as bio-based cold flow improver additive in biodiesel. In this work, both ethyl levulinate and biodiesel… read more here.
