Lignin Biorefinery: An effective Biomass conversion to Value added Product
- January 28, 2019
Introduction
An abundance in lignocellulosic biomass globally can emerge as an important solution for ever increasing fuel and chemical demands. A sustainable conversion of the biomass in the value-added products, sugars and fuels, i.e. a sustainable biorefinery seems to be the future of effective biomass utilization.

Market Trends
The lignin is emerging as a very potent alternative/precursor for various aromatics and polymers. The market is expected to grow at the rate of 3.42% during the period 2018-2023 from current 974.6 million, where it may form a major share in the cement industry as a cement additive. If we look at the global scenario, Europe appears to be the major market for lignin based products which currently accounts for approximately 34% of the total market share. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that the research and innovation in the lignin biorefinery is going to see a greater boom in the near future, drifting the current manufacturing and construction practices towards greener alternatives.
