A lignocellulosic biorefinery is based on the utilization of feedstock such as dry biomass, woody energy crops and various waste biomasses (bagasse, for instance). As the feedstock in many cases will comprise waste agricultural residues, lignocellulosic biorefineries promise to be an attractive avenue for waste biomass valorization and economical bio-products production.
Many lignocellulosic feedstocks however would require specialized processes (especially pre-treatment processes) before they can be used in the biorefinery. Innovations that specifically target woody and lignocellulosic biomass processing could add significant value to such biorefineries.
