TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - BIOLOGY - Preferred Biomass: The biomass is selected from wild and/or anthropogenically cultivated, and/or genetically engineered, and/or bioengineered trees, bushes, grasses, algae, plankton, aquatic plants, animals, yard trimmings and waste, wood chips, saw dust, mariculture products, animal parts and carcasses, animal waste, farm waste, agricultural waste, fodder, silage and/or organic waste and/or by-products, and emulsions, suspensions, and its dispersions in water, alcohol, or other carrier fluids. The biomass in the method (M1) comprises a lignin.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - BIOTECHNOLOGY - Preferred Method: The method (M1) further involves the step of cracking the lignin in the biomass via the nanoalloy, where the step of contacting the biomass with the dual catalyst occurs before the gasification of the biomass. In the method (M2), the step of gasifying the biomass further involves the step of contacting the biomass with a nanoalloy before or during gasification.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Composition: The composition (C1) further comprises a volatile organometallic compound. Preferred Components: The support material in the nanoalloy catalyst is selected from silica, alumina, titania, nanocarbon, graphene, activated carbon, thoria, zirconia and/or zeolites. The metal of the nanoalloy catalyst is selected from Fe, Co, Ni, Mo, W, Th, Ru, Pt, Rh, Mn, Cr, Ga, La, Ce, Re, Pd, Ti, or K. The support material of the nanoalloy catalyst is 50 wt.% of the nanoalloy catalyst. The nanoalloy catalyst comprises polar solvent dispersible or polar solvent soluble nanoalloy catalyst.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The volatile organometallic compound is selected from cyclomatic manganese carbonyl compounds, methyl cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, manganese carbonyl materials, ferrocene, iron carbonyl materials, cerium-containing compounds and/or platinum group metal compounds. EXAMPLE - No suitable example given.
