Background Background

Conversion of plant lignocellulosic

biomass is a key process on recycling

  • f organic carbon in the global

biogeochemical cycle.

R&D aim to convert lignocellulosic

biomass to useful and/or high value- added products (i.e. fuels, chemicals, biomaterials). The concept that integrates the lignocellulosic biomass conversion to fuels, materials, chemicals is called

Biorefinery.

Lignocellulosic biomass Lignocellulosic biomass

Biomass consists of three polymeric components:

  • Cellulose
  • Hemicellulose
  • lignin
