The pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass enhances the conversion efficiency to produce
biofuels and value-added chemicals, which have the potential to replace fossil fuels …

Due to increasing anthropogenic activities, especially industry and transport, the fossil fuel
demand and consumption have increased proportionally, causing serious environmental …

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

Abstract Second-generation (2G) sugar is the principal building block in biorefineries
producing sustainable fuels, green chemicals, and materials. Its production involves a pre …

Biodiesel is unarguably one of the most considered substitutes for fossil-based liquid fuels.
However, the high cost of biodiesel production has been a major inhibitor for its large-scale …

Wheat straw (WS) is a potential biomass for production of monomeric sugars. However, the
enzymatic hydrolysis ratio of cellulose in WS is relatively low due to the presence of lignin …

The biorefinery concept is attracting scientific and policy attention as a promising option for
enhancing the benefits of agri-food biomass along with a reduction of the environmental …

Currently major part of the world's energy requirements is fulfilled by fossil resources.
Severe economic and environmental problems along with their limited resources are still a …

For decades, lignocellulosic biomass has been introduced to the public as the most
important raw material for the environmentally and economically sustainable production of …

Lignocellulosic biomasses are strongly connected composites of cellulose, hemicelluloses,
and lignin. A pretreatment is required in order to make these components available for their …
