Research and Production of Second‐Generation Biofuels

Catalytic Transformation of Carbohydrates into Renewable Organic Chemicals by Revering the Principles of Green Chemistry

“…In this regard, the second-generation, nonfood lignocellulosic biomasses alleviate most of the concerns faced with food-based biomasses. Terrestrial lignocellulosic biomasses are produced on marginal land and do not require significant energy and material input during their growth . Moreover, they are geographically diverse and abundant and often end up in various waste streams.…”

“…Terrestrial lignocellulosic biomasses are produced on marginal land and do not require significant energy and material input during their growth. 44 Moreover, they are geographically diverse and abundant and often end up in various waste streams. Significant research activities have been focused on the catalytic transformation of lignocellulosic into biofuels and biochemicals over the past two decades.…”
