Furfural: An Entry Point Of Lignocellulose In Biorefineries To Produce Renewable Chemicals, Polymers, And Biofuels

There is a wide consensus that furfural, a renewable commodity currently obtained from lignocellulosic agro-residues with a production volume of around 300 kTon per year, is a key feedstock for leveraging lignocellulosic residues in future biorefineries. Several chemicals are already being manufactured from furfural due to its advantageous production cost. Furthermore, a vast number of others are ...
