Much interest has been directed to the versatile possibilities of using lignocellulosic biomass resources (i.e., "renewable raw materials") for the full-scale production of various chemicals and other bioproducts together with solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels. Introduces modern aspects and various technologies of lignocellulosic biomass conversion for producing chemicals, biofuels, and other products in a reader friendly way. Starting with fundamentals of biorefi nery, the author further describes chemical, biochemical, and thermal conversion approaches. In addition, the properties and biorefining principles of non-wood biomass feedstock
