Article Abstract

Lignocellulosic biomass has been emerging as a biorefinery precursor for variety of biofuels, platform chemicals and biomaterials because of its specific surface morphology, exceptional physical, chemical and biological characteristics. The selection of proper raw materials, integration of nano biotechnological aspects, and designing of viable processes are important to attain a cost-effective route for the development of valuable end products. Lignocellulose-based materials can prove to be outstanding in terms of techno-economic viability, as well as being environmentally friendly and reducing effluent load. This review should facilitate the identification of better lignocellulosic sources, advanced pretreatments, and production of value-added products in order to boost the future industries in a cleaner and safer way.

Packaging demand currently exceeds 144 Mt per year, of which >90% is conventional plastic, generating over 100 Mt of waste and 1.8 Gt CO-eq emissions annually. In this review, we systematically survey three classes of lignocellulosic feedstocks, agricultural residues, fruit and vegetable by-products, and forestry wastes, with respect to their physicochemical composition (cellulose crystallinity, hemicellulose ratio, and lignin content) and key processing pathways.

Straw pretreatment technology and high-value usage are critical linkages in the current sustainable development of agriculture and the achievement of dual-carbon targets. Using effectivepretreatment technology to break down the complicated structure of straw biomass, followed by biotransformation via the action of hydrolases and microorganisms, is the critical link in the high-value usage of straw lignocellulose. In recent years, the development and application of biorefinery technology have created new prospects for the conversion of green, efficient, and low-cost straw biomass.

The global transition to renewable energy sources requires efficient microbial platforms capable of fermenting carbon sources present in lignocellulosic biomass. Conventional yeasts like Saccharomyces cerevisiae face critical limitations, particularly in pentose sugar utilization and inhibitor resistance. This review focuses on two emerging non-conventional yeasts, Candida famata and Ogataea polymorpha, which exhibit native or engineered capacities to overcome these bottlenecks.

Greenhouse gases drive climate change which leads to less productive farmland and diminishing food security. Fossil oil, which is used for transport fuels and for manufacturing plastics, synthetic fabrics and other everyday products, is a major contributor to climate change. Significant greenhouse gas abatement can be achieved by replacing fossil oil with renewable biofuels.
