Abstract

High worldwide demand for energy, souring prices of petroleum, and concern over global climate change has led to resurgence in the development of alternative energy that can displace fossil transportation fuel. Biomass is one of the important renewable sources for securing future energy supply, production of fine chemicals and high value biodegradable polymers, and sustainable development. Recently, efforts have been devoted to the conversion of lignocellulosic materials into fine chemicals, biopolymers, and biofuels. Attempts to transfer biomass to produce industrially useful polymers and fine-chemicals by traditional biotechnological approaches have obtained only very limited success. An effective biomass conversion requires the interdisciplinary research field which is a unique combination of biotechnology, chemistry, materials science and engineering, and may ultimately lead to cheap and effective processes for conversion of biomass into useful products such as fine chemicals, biopolymers, and biofuels.

Abstract

At present, fossil fuels are playing the major role to meet the energy requirements of the world. The large consumption of fossil fuels creates so many environmental problems, such as green-house gases have motivated the search for alternative, renewable fuel options. Biomass is one of the few resources that have the potential to meet the challenges of sustainable and green energy systems. Current biomass resources comprise primarily industrial waste materials such as sawdust or pulp process wastes, hog fuel, forest residues, clean wood waste from landfills, and agricultural prunings and residues from plants such as lignocellulosic materials. There are already a considerable range of chemical building blocks derived from renewable resources. Among them, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a versatile platform chemical for the synthesis of a wide range of industrially important materials, including biofuels.
