Abstract: Today, industrial plants that produce glycerol are closing down and others are opening that use glycerol as a raw material, owing to the large surplus of glycerol formed as a by-product during the production of biodiesel. Research efforts to find new applications of glycerol as a low-cost feedstock for functional derivatives have led to the introduction of a number of selective processes for converting glycerol into commercially valued products. This Minireview describes a selection of such achievements and shows how glycerol will be a central raw material in future chemical industries.

Magnesium hydroxide–supported ruthenium as an efficient and stable catalyst for glycerol-selective hydrogenolysis without addition of base and acid additives
TL;DR: In this paper, Ru-based catalysts with the synthesized and commercial Mg(OH)2 and MgO as supports were prepared at room temperature by a simple chemical reduction approach and the Ru/Mg(O)2(S) catalyst exhibited the best catalytic activity (TOF = 134 h−1) and the highest selectivity to 1,2-propanediol (65%) for glycerol hydrogenolysis.

Polyether from a biobased Janus molecule as surfactant for carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: In this paper, a new polyether (PE) was prepared from a biobased Janus molecule, 2-(2,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-1,3- propanediol (serinol pyrrole, SP).

Environmental, economic, and energetic costs and benefits of biodiesel and ethanol biofuels
TL;DR: Transportation biofuels such as synfuel hydrocarbons or cellulosic ethanol, if produced from low-input biomass grown on agriculturally marginal land or from waste biomass, could provide much greater supplies and environmental benefits than food-basedBiofuels.
Glycerol conversion in the aqueous solution under hydrogen over Ru/C + an ion-exchange resin and its reaction mechanism
TL;DR: In this article, an ion exchange resin (Amberlyst), H2SO4(aq), and HCl(aq) was used for glycerol hydrogenation.

TL;DR: Research into renewable bioresources at York and elsewhere is demonstrating that by applying green chemical technologies to the transformation of typically low value and widely available biomass feedstocks, including wastes, we can build up new environmentally compatible and sustainable chemicals and materials industries for the 21st century.
