Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant and sustainable resource on earth and is comparatively cheaper than the crude oil. This research topic will focus on understanding and analyzing the current trends in integrated bioprocessing techniques involved in different stages starting from biomass pretreatment and hydrolysis to the production of high-value bio-based products. This includes investigating novel strategies for breaking down complex biomass structures, optimizing fermentation processes, and identifying pathways for the synthesis of valuable compounds viz., biofuels, biochemicals, and other bioproducts. The research seeks to contribute insights into sustainable and economically viable approaches for harnessing lignocellulosic biomass, addressing challenges in the bioeconomy and promoting a more environmentally friendly and resource-efficient future.
The research topic will be focused on the inefficiency and high cost associated with the current methods of lignocellulosic biomass conversion. Conventional processes for breaking down the complex structures of lignocellulosic biomass often involve harsh chemical treatments and energy-intensive steps, leading to environmental concerns and economic challenges. Addressing the need for more sustainable, cost-effective, and energy-efficient bioprocessing methods becomes a crucial concern. This research topic will cover the insight into the innovative pretreatment techniques, enzymatic hydrolysis optimization, and metabolic engineering approaches to enhance the overall efficiency of the bioprocessing chain. Undertaking these challenges, the research can contribute to the development of more environmentally friendly and economically viable strategies for converting lignocellulosic biomass into high-value products.
The scope of the research topic encompasses a multidimensional exploration of innovative approaches, technologies, and strategies aimed at efficiently converting lignocellulosic biomass into valuable products. The research scope includes, but is not limited to, the following key aspects:
Advanced Pretreatment Techniques
Microbial Engineering for Enhanced Biomass Conversion
Integrated Biorefinery Concepts
Enzymatic Hydrolysis Optimization
Sustainability Assessment
Biochemical and Biofuel Production
Bioprocess Scale-Up and Industrial Implementation
Biorefinery Waste Valorization
Cross-disciplinary Approaches
Technoeconomic analysis
Keywords:
Sustainable bio-based production; Lignocellulosic biomass; Specialty biochemicals;
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
