The book discusses commonly used bioprocesses for lignocellulosic biorefinery, including separated hydrolysis, fermentation and simultaneous saccharification, and consolidated bioprocessing. Among these methods, construction of microbial co-culturing systems via consolidated bioprocessing is regarded as a potential strategy to efficiently produce biochemicals and biofuels, providing theoretical direction for constructing efficient and stable biorefinery process system in the future.
The book discusses the construction of high-performance enzyme cocktails and presents progress witnessed in engineering lignocellulolytic enzymes, enzyme-producing microorganisms, and future perspectives within the context of developing cost-effective lignocellulose conversion processes.
- Presents drivers for biorefinery industry development
- Discusses global drivers toward the advancement of lignocellulosic biorefineries, along with technical and operational challenges for industrialization to overcome said challenges
- Discusses the biorefinery value chain and its economical and technical considerations
- Provides SWOT analysis and future directions
