An overview of recent advances in the Catalysis Center for Energy Innovation will be given. Specifically, we will discuss the introduction of new technology based on acylation, hydrodeoxygenation, hydrogenation to convert furans into renewable surfactants, the development of phosphorous zeolites for superior selectivity to para-xylene from dimethyl furan (DMF) and ethylene, ultra-selective and stable catalysis for the production of DMF, and a novel deconstruction strategy of lignocellulosic biomass to furans. Advances in fundamental understanding will also be discussed.<br/>
