Sustainable Utilization of Lignocellulosic Resources Rajaram Mishra, Swapnita Patra, Krishna Manjari Sahu, Priyabrata Pradhan, Sarat Kumar Swain Lignocellulosic Biomass to Biohydrogen A Circular Economy and Sustainable Approach to Decarbonization, 2026 The present chapter explores the multifaceted applications of lignocellulosic biomass, a renewable and abundant resource, in addressing global challenges related to energy, environment, and resource sustainability. Lignocellulose, composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, is a key component of plant biomass and offers immense potential for conversion into valuable products. This chapter demonstrates the importance of lignocellulosic resources in sustainable utilization toward mitigating environmental degradation and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The chapter delves into various sustainable applications of lignocellulosic biomass, including biofuel production (bioethanol, biodiesel, biogas, and biohydrogen), biochemicals and bioplastics (platform chemicals, solvents, and biodegradable plastics), and its role in the pulp and paper industry. Additionally, it highlights its use in animal feed, soil amendments (biochar, composting, and organic fertilizers), construction materials (bio-based composites and cement additives), etc. By examining these diverse applications, the chapter underscores the critical role of lignocellulosic biomass in fostering a circular bioeconomy and achieving sustainable development goals. This comprehensive overview serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders aiming to harness the potential of lignocellulosic biomass for a sustainable future.
Lignocellulosic Biomass for Energy Transition: Past, Present, and Future Swapnita Patra, Dillip Bhoi, Dillip Kumar Panda, Rajendra Kumar Bordia, Sarat Kumar Swain Lignocellulosic Biomass to Biohydrogen A Circular Economy and Sustainable Approach to Decarbonization, 2026 Lignocellulosic biomass, derived from agricultural residues, woody materials, and industrial waste, offers a sustainable pathway for bioenergy production. Scientific advances have enabled the efficient conversion of cellulose and hemicellulose into bioethanol and other biofuels. This chapter traces its historical use as a traditional fuel to its modern role in advanced biofuels. As the world moves toward carbon neutrality, lignocellulosic biomass holds great promise for the future, supported by ongoing innovations in biorefinery technologies and circular bioeconomy strategies. Future developments may focus on improving yield, reducing cost, and integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and synthetic biology for optimized production.
