Abstract
Population driven demand for energy and materials are the increasing at an exponential rate. Petro refineries are found with intensifying drawbacks such as environmental pollution, depleting fossil resource and global energy demand. Among all other sources, biomass resource stands as promising feedstocks for energy and chemical production because of its cheap availability all over the world. Biomass constitutes about 10% of the global energy demand and is mainly used in power generation, heating, transportation biofuel production and chemical synthesis. In today’s scenario about 90% of the fossil is used only for fuel generation and less than 10% is used to derive platform chemicals. Diverse integration technologies adopted to convert variety of molecules available in the biomass to products that can be used in production of polymers, cattle feed, fertilizers, organic acids, alcohols, food, pharmaceuticals, paper etc.
