Pretreatment is an important process to transform lignocellulosic biomass to high-value
chemicals. This process potentially provides economic sustainability, which is challenged by …

The rapid depletion of natural resources and the environmental concerns associated with
the use of fossil fuels as the main source of global energy is leading to an increased interest …

Cellulose, in addition to hemicellulose and lignin, makes the major fraction of lignocellulosic
biomass–the only sustainable feedstock to meet the long-term sustainable energy need of …

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant source of organic materials available, yet it
remains highly underutilized as a source of renewable energy products. The complex and …

Cocoa is among the most cultivated and important tropical crops in the world, and it is
economically viable in the agro-pastoral systems of tropical Africa. Further, the amount of …

Biogas production via anaerobic digestion is a constantly growing technology all around the
world. Lignocellulosic materials (LMs) present several features that make them particularly …

The hazards of handling N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) cannot be described often
enough, although it is a rather common (co-) solvent for cellulose. Inaccuracies in the …

Lignocellulosic residues (LRs) are one of the most abundant wastes produced worldwide.
Nevertheless, unlocking the full energy potential from LRs for biofuel production is limited by …

Abstract Maize Cob Waste (MCW) is available worldwide in high amounts, as maize is the
most produced cereal in the world. MCW is generally left in the crop fields, but due to its low …

Biogas and biohydrogen are compatible gaseous biofuels that can be blended with natural
gas for reticulated fuel supply to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Sustainably grown …
