The development of renewable sources of energy is mainly motivated by the projection of oil reserves depletion and climate change caused by combustion of fossil fuels. In this context, lignocellulosic biomass is a promising renewable source of energy because of its wide availability and low cost. Therefore, it is necessary that the polysaccharides comprised in the plant cell wall are depo…
The gradual shift from petroleum to renewable biomass resources is generally seen as an important contribution to the development of a sustainable industrial society and the effective management of green house emissions. Lignocellulosic materials, such as agricultural and forestry residues, are an abundant and low-cost source of stored energy in the biosphere. Thus, biomass conversion int…
