Vishnu Menon,Mala Rao +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive state of the art describing the advancement in recent pretreaments, metabolic engineering approaches with special emphasis on the latest developments in consolidated biomass processing, current global scenario of bioethanol pilot plants and biorefinery concept for the production of biofuels and bioproducts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonenzymatic Sugar Production from Biomass Using Biomass-Derived γ-Valerolactone
Jeremy S. Luterbacher,Jacqueline M. Rand,David Martin Alonso,Jeehoon Han,J. Tyler Youngquist,Christos T. Maravelias,Brian F. Pfleger,James A. Dumesic +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that γ-valerolactone, a small molecule solvent that can itself be sourced renewably from biomass, promotes efficient and selective thermal breakdown of cellulose in the presence of dilute aqueous acid, and could be cost-competitive for ethanol production.
