Biomass can serve as an alternative to the depleting fossil feedstock for the supply of our three major daily needs viz. chemicals, energy, and fuel. It can be plant-derived (algae, grass, crops, wood, food waste, etc.) or animal-derived (insects, crab, fish, etc). In our group, we are dealing with plant-derived biomass. Mainly, we consider the transformation of the non-edible parts (lignocellulose) of biomass such as grass, crop waste, wood, etc. into value-added chemicals. Cellulose (poly-saccharide of C6 sugar; glucose), hemicellulose (poly-saccharide of a mixture of C5 and C6 sugars; xylose, arabinose, glucose, galactose, etc.), and lignin (a complex 3D polymer of aromatic monomers) are the main components of lignocellulosic biomass. This group is mainly involved in the development of new and sustainable methodologies for biomass conversion into chemicals through greener pathways using heterogeneous catalysts. Furthermore, we are also involved in the development of catalysts that would be highly stable, durable, and economical.  A schematic summary of our research is presented below.
