The conversion of cellulose biomass to renewable and valuable chemicals has become the
topic of intense research mostly driven by growing concerns about the depletion of
petroleum oil reserves and the need to build sustainable societies. Naturally occurring
cellulose and extracted cellulose from lignocellulosic biomass can be used as a renewable
resource for the sustainable production of platform chemicals that can in turn be converted
into valuable fine chemicals, polymers, and fuels. Cellulose is the most abundant …
