“…Lignocellulosic biomass forms a complex and compact hetero-matrix structure (Fig. 3) (Xiong et al 2018). The physicochemical interactions among cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin are responsible for shielding the cellulose from isolation (Hassan et al 2020;Zhong et al 2020).…”

The extensive use of petroleum-based synthetic and non-biodegradable materials for packaging applications has caused severe environmental damage. The rising demand for sustainable packaging materials has encouraged scientists to explore abundant unconventional materials. For instance, cellulose, extracted from lignocellulosic biomass, has gained attention owing to its ecological and biodegradable nature. This article reviews the extraction of cellulose nanoparticles from conventional and non-conventional lignocellulosic biomass, and the preparation of cellulosic nanocomposites for food packaging. Cellulosic nanocomposites exhibit exceptional mechanical, biodegradation, optical and barrier properties, which are attributed to the nanoscale structure and the high specific surface area, of 533 m2 g−1, of cellulose. The mechanical properties of composites improve with the content of cellulose nanoparticles, yet an excessive amount induces agglomeration and, in turn, poor mechanical properties. Addition of cellulose nanoparticles increases tensile properties by about 42%. Barrier properties of the composites are reinforced by cellulose nanoparticles; for instance, the water vapor permeability decreased by 28% in the presence of 5 wt% cellulose nanoparticles. Moreover, 1 wt% addition of filler decreased the oxygen transmission rate by 21%. We also discuss the eco-design process, designing principles and challenges.

“…It can provide 60% bio-oil, 20% biogas, and 20% biochar with considerable heating values (HV). 81 The resulting bio-oil can be utilized for running engines, turbines, and raw materials for refineries. However, significant drawbacks include limited thermal stability, complications associated with the conversion process, and corrosivity.…”

“…Flash pyrolysis is a highly rapid thermal decomposition of biomass to obtain bio-oil, in which 80% of it can be obtained by keeping the reaction temperature high for short residence times to yield up to 80% efficiency with a high-temperature rate of 100–10,000 °C/s. It can provide 60% bio-oil, 20% biogas, and 20% biochar with considerable heating values (HV) . The resulting bio-oil can be utilized for running engines, turbines, and raw materials for refineries.…”

The burning of a huge amount of nonrenewable fossil fuel has unfavorable consequences on the environment, climate, and living beings. The application of renewable bioenergy resources is considered an eco-friendly and sustainable substitute for fossil fuels. Biomass as a renewable resource has gained tremendous attention due to its potential to produce bioenergy in the form of solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels for running internal combustion engines in transportation, industries, and heat and electricity generation. This review critically examines the potential of biomass resources, scope, and technological advances in converting biomass to bioenergy. It also discusses the challenges, opportunities, energy policies, and prospects of biomass conversion to bioenergy within global and Indian contexts. Currently, several novel physical, chemical, and biological routes are used to produce renewable bioenergy. In India, crop biomass availability is estimated at around 500 million metric tons per year and can produce energy equivalent to 18,000 megawatts. It shows a bright future in energy production in India if adequately used.
