The conversion of biomasses from agriculture into either hydrogen or chemicals is a target of primary importance for sustainable development. In their Full Paper on page 851, Claudio Bianchini and co-workers report a method to produce both hydrogen and chemicals in a single process making use of electricity provided by renewable energy sources. The cover image shows an effectively assembled self-sustainable hydrogen fuel cell; hydrogen is produced by the electrolysis of aqueous solutions of alcohols. The realization of such a process will provide ultrapure hydrogen and, at the same time, lead to the sustainable production of industrially relevant feedstocks from biomasses.
