Abstract

This chapter focuses on the utilization of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) waste in value-added products, such as fermentable sugars and biofuels. Biomass to biofuels production is a green process to generate renewable energy. In the biofuel production process, biomass transformation into fermentable sugar is the key step of the process, which is hindered by the complex structure of the LCB. Thus, for practical feasibility and effective production it is important to explore LCB structure and configuration for easy facilitation of bioconversion of LCB feedstock for effective biofuel production. Moreover, the availability of LCB with effective pretreatment and microbial bioconversion is another prime concern which is highlighted in this chapter, along with existing challenges.
