Jarl Hemming

Jarl Hemming is an active researcher contributing to sustainable technologies through interdisciplinary work in chemical engineering and materials science. His research spans lignin valorization, biomass fractionation, and CO₂ capture, aligning with UN SDGs. Collaborative projects involve institutions in Europe, focusing on scalable biorefinery solutions.

• Research interests: Lignin modification, sustainable polymerization, catalytic biomass conversion, and environmental chemistry.
• Recent work: Includes lignin-based CO₂ capture materials, deep eutectic solvent extraction, and biopolymer coatings for plastic alternatives.
• Collaborations: Partnered with teams in Sweden, Finland, and Germany on biomass liquefaction and lignin-carbohydrate complex analysis.
• Dataset contributions: Co-developed SP-LCC, a public dataset for hardwood lignin-carbohydrate complexes.

His publications emphasize circular economy principles, with applications in fossil plastic alternatives and hydrogen production. Current projects target lignin-first biorefinery concepts and microwave-assisted processing.
