lignocellulosic biomass
Lignocellulosic biomass refers to plant-based materials made up of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin — the main structural components of plants like trees, grasses, and crop residues. These materials form the tough, fibrous parts of plants and are abundant and renewable resources. They can be converted into biofuels, biochemicals, and other valuable products through various processing methods. Since lignocellulosic biomass is widely available and sustainable, it offers an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels for producing energy and materials.
