Abstract

According to current projections, global crude oil reserves will run out in less than 50 years (Source: IEA). A viable alternative to crude oil is urgently needed. Lignocellulose is the most abundant form of biomass and a potential replacement of crude oil. Unlike today’s oil refineries, future bio-refineries will fractionate biomass rather than crude oil. This paper presents developments in catalysis and process engineering for the conversion of lignocellulose into energy carriers, alternative fuels and chemicals for future bio-refineries.
