Ethylene glycol (EG) is one of the most sought-after industrial compounds. High global demand necessitates for a production of up to 28 million metric tons EG a year. Reaction pathway for fossil fuel derived EG may be relatively simpler, but it remains a finite resource and is notorious for greenhou...
