“…GIS is used to determine the distribution of crop residue and NLP is used to select the suitable size for the plants. Sultana and Kumar (2011) minimized the costs through the study of the combination of different types of lingocellulistic biomass, like agricultural and woody biomass. Three types of biomass including wheat straw, corn stover, and forest biomass in different forms, loose biomass, bales/ bundles, chopped/chipped, and pellets, are discussed by them.…”

“…Furthermore, the use of mixed lignocellulosics facilitates the management of feedstock supply fluctuations (Nilsson and Hansson 2001). This approach also reduces delivery costs to the biorefinery compared with the use of single type feedstocks (Sultana and Kumar 2011). Studies on other applications of lignocellulosic mixtures have demonstrated that combining substrates usually has no negative impacts on product yields; more often than not, higher yields were obtained on mixtures than on the single substrates.…”

Selected carbon sources including soluble carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), insoluble microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), and single (SS)/mixed lignocellulosic substrates (MS), were evaluated for endoglucanase production by B. aerius S5.2. The lignocellulosic substrates of oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB), oil palm frond (OPF), rice husk (RH), and their mixture (MS) supported growth of the strain better than CMC and MCC. The maximum endoglucanase activity on MS was 7.3-, 2.6-, 1.7-, and 1.2-fold higher than those recorded on MCC, CMC, EFB/OPF, and RH, respectively. While the reducing sugar concentration of the CMC medium was comparable to that of the EFB and MS media, wide variability was observed in the reducing sugar concentrations among the lignocellulosic substrates. Extremely low levels of sugar were detected in the MCC medium, reflecting its poor digestibility and hence unsuitability for growth and endoglucanase production. Endoglucanase production was predominantly extracellular when the strain was grown on CMC and MS. After seven days of fermentation, there was an approximately 25% reduction in MS dry weight. These findings show that the use of mixed lignocellulosics could potentially reduce the cost of cellulase production. Certain novel aspects of the cellulase system of B. aerius are reported in this study.

“…It may also stimulate the creation of job opportunities in non-agriculture sectors and enhance rural economic development (Bailey, Dyer, & Teeter, 2011). Further, in biorefinery feedstock delivery system, the transportation and traffic congestions can be reduced by increasing the bulk density and through combined delivery of agricultural residues in form of bales and wood chips (Sultana & Kumar, 2011). Algal biomass (including seaweeds, micro-algae and bluegreen algae) can be another promising alternative feedstock in biorefineries, because of their much higher photosynthetic efficiency (Singh, Nigam, & Murphy, 2011), productivity and oil content.…”

Biomass, as a renewable resource, has the potential to decrease our dependence on fossil fuels, provide energy security and mitigate environmental problems. Shifting dependence from petroleum-based to renewable biomass-based resources is generally viewed as key to the sustainable development and effective management of greenhouse gas emissions. There has been an increasing research interest in the assessment of bio-sourced materials recovered from residual biomass and their conversion techniques. Biomass which is generally considered as less important due to its light weight, bulkiness and less economic value can be a valuable feedstock in biorefineries. Many countries of the world are now on the way to effectively utilizing the so called neglected energy source for achieving greater and cleaner energy efficiency by adopting biorefinery approach. This review paper hereby critically examine the idea of biorefineries as a strategy for sustainability by using different available biomass feedstocks, techniques for their multipurpose conversion into useful chemicals, fuel and materials, and the associated challenges on the basis of relevant researches.
