Abstract
This review presents data on the chemical composition of harvest residues and food <br /> industry by-products as widely abundant representatives of lignocellulosic waste biomass. Pretreatment methods, with special emphasis on biological methods, are presented <br /> as an important step in utilization of lignocellulosic waste biomass for the production of <br /> sustainable biofuels and high-value chemicals. Special attention was paid to the methods <br /> of lignin isolation and its possible utilization within lignocellulosic biorefinery. The objectives of circular bioeconomy and the main aspects of lignocellulosic biorefinery are <br /> highlighted. Finally, current data on industrial, pilot, and research and development <br /> plants used in Europe for the production of a variety of bio-based products from different <br /> feedstocks are presented.

IntroductionLignocellulosic biomass (LB) comes from natural sources or processes that are constantly being replenished
Lignocellulosic biomass (LB) comes from natural sources or processes that are constantly being replenished. It is used for bioenergy, but in recent years considerable attention is given to LB as a source for the production of high-value chemicals
This review focuses on the general chemistry of LB and the chemical composition of typical representatives of the widely abundant lignocellulosic waste biomass, such as harvest residues and food industry by-products
Summary
Lignocellulosic biomass (LB) comes from natural sources or processes that are constantly being replenished. 8.2 billion tonnes are currently used, of which 7 billion tonnes are mainly produced from dedicated agricultural, grass, and forest land.[2] In contrast, non-renewable sources, such as oil, gas, and coal, can be found only in a certain number of countries in the world. Their exploitation causes pollution and climate change accompanied by gradual depletion. Bio-based Products from Lignocellulosic Waste Biomass... 139–156
