  • Patent number: 12590113
    Abstract: Described herein are devices and methods for the efficient and economic generation of lignin monomers from biomass. The provided devices and methods utilize reductive catalytic fractionation with an organic solvent to extract high-quality lignin from biomass and cleave specific lignin bonds to generate valuable lignin monomers with a relatively narrow product slate. Advantageously, the devices and methods described herein utilize solvent recycling, multiple solvolysis chambers with multiple biomass beds and/or physical agitation (e.g., use of a screw extruder) to reduce the amount of solvent required and increase economic efficiency and monomer yield.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 16, 2022
    Date of Patent: March 31, 2026
    Assignees: Alliance for Energy Innovation, LLC, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

  • Publication number: 20260002081
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for the conversion of biomass, including lignin, into compounds useful as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Advantageously, the provided systems and methods remove the need for reductive catalytic fractionization and the use bioderived solvents rather than expensive exogenous solvents to increase energy efficiency and reduce processing costs. Instead, the described processes utilize flow through solvolysis and hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) as a single, flow-through process to convert biomass into useful fuels.
