Energy and chemical conversion of five Australian lignocellulosic feedstocks into bio-crude through liquefaction

Abstract

Thermal liquefaction of five potential feedstocks namely, banana bunch stems (BBS), pineapple tops (PT),

A comprehensive review on the framework to valorise lignocellulosic biomass as biorefinery feedstocks

“…In Australia, the fruit and energy crop industry such as banana, pineapple, and sugarcane also generate millions of tons of lignocellulosic waste every year. In the past, the non-edible parts of the plants such as leaves, pulps, stems, and peels are unavoidable food waste [25]. The majority of this nonavoidable food waste biomass is being discarded or burned, contributing to the release of greenhouse gases [26].…”

Valorizing agricultural residues as biorefinery feedstocks: current advancements and challenges

“…Agricultural residues are available in huge volume globally (Kosinkova et al, 2017). In Canada, 69 million dry tons of agricultural crop residues are produced annually (Paul and Dutta, 2018).…”
