The various strategies for the valorisation of waste biomass to platform chemicals, and the
underlying developments in chemical and biological catalysis which make this possible, are …

This paper reviews the application of ionic liquids to the deconstruction and fractionation of
lignocellulosic biomass, in a process step that is commonly called pretreatment. It is divided …

The combination of dwindling petroleum reserves and population growth make the
development of renewable energy and chemical resources more pressing than ever before …

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 …

Biofuels produced from various lignocellulosic materials have the potential to be a valuable
substitute for, or complement to, gasoline. Many physicochemical structural and …

Nowadays there is a growing interest on the use of both lignocellulosic and algae biomass
to produce biofuels (ie biohydrogen, ethanol and methane), as future alternatives to fossil …

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 …

To mitigate the growing pressure on resource depletion and environment degradation, the
development of green processes for the production of renewable energy is highly required …

In the past three decades, many studies on the production of biofuels and other chemicals
have been conducted using renewable sources such as lignocellulosic biomass …

Among pretreatments existing to overcome the recalcitrance of the lignocellulosic biomass,
imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) are gaining interest to make cellulose more accessible …
