“…However, the combination of ferrous sulfate pretreatment, which increased sugar yields on a biomass basis from less than 1% to over 12%, and autothermal pyrolysis, which increased biomass throughput by a factor of 2.5, increased volumetric sugar productivity to 2041 g L −1 h −1 (Rollag et al, 2020). An optimum reactor temperature of 450 °C maximizes sugar production from autothermal pyrolysis of ferrous sulfate-pretreated corn stover (Peterson et al, 2023).…”

Sugars are precursors to the majority of the world’s biofuels. Most of these come from sugar and starch crops, such as sugarcane and corn grain. Lignocellulosic sugars, although more challenging to extract from biomass, represent a large, untapped, opportunity. In response to the increasing attention to renewable energy, fuels, and chemicals, we review and compare two strategies for extracting sugars from lignocellulosic biomass: biochemical and thermochemical processing. Biochemical processing based on enzymatic hydrolysis has high sugar yield but is relatively slow. Thermochemical processing, which includes fast pyrolysis and solvent liquefaction, offers increased throughput and operability at the expense of low sugar yields.
