The depleting fossil fuel reservoirs, over-dependency of developing countries on fossil fuels to meet the day to day rising demands, global climate change by increased carbon foot prints have compelled countries to take discernible initiatives towards the use of renewable bioresources for their sustainable development. The trilema of E’s (Energy, Environment and Economy) lead the global scientific community to develop policies to move from fossil-based economy to bio-based economy which is baptised as Biorefinery. Biorefineries integrate eco-friendly and more efficient technologies to cut down the rate of harmful emissions that contribute to the deteriorating environmental conditions. Though renewable lignocellulosic biomass generated via photosynthesis has the inherent potential to satiate the rising energy demands, there are technological challenges associated with the structural complexity of lignin …
