The Inside Cover picture demonstrates the synergy of supported metal catalysts and Lewis acid homogeneous metal chlorides in driving the hydrogenolysis of biomass derivatives into valuable fuel additives and chemicals. Strong evidence points towards Lewis acids being mainly responsible for the hydrogenation of furfural to furfural alcohol, whereas the synergy of the Lewis acid/metal catalyst on the molecular level drives the hydrogenolysis of furfural alcohol to 2-methylfuran. More details can be found in the Full Paper by Panagiotopoulou et al.
