Shift happens: Concerns about the depletion of fossil fuel reserves and the environmental problems related to its use have encouraged the development of new catalytic approaches for producing carbon-based chemicals from cellulosic biomass. Here, recent progress in the implementation of (mainly) heterogeneous acid, bifunctional, and multistep catalysis is reviewed.
