Strategic approach to enhance carbon conservation in biofuels derived from lignocellulosic biomass and livestock

Since an era of industrialization, carbon inputs (from our anthropogenic activities) beyond the planet’s full carbon sequestration by assimilating CO2 through the natural carbon cycle have been pointed out as one of the critical factors triggering the global environmental problems (global warming). As such, the use of carbon neutral energies/chemicals has gained a big momentum because these efforts could offer a precautipus measure to mitigate catastrophic consequences from global warming. A great deal of researches on biofuel/biorefinery has been extensively carried out over the last decade. Nonetheless, carbon loss from the productions of biofuel/chemical (derived from biomass) has not be discussed with the fully transparent manners. Note that biomass is a carbon-based material among the reneawable resources. As such, it could be of great importance to developed a new technical conversion platform for biofuel/chemical from biomass to minimize the unwanted carbon loss. Here in this study, the new technical development to increase the carbon conservation toward the targeted biofuel/chemical will be delinearated. Specifically, a hybridized conversion platform for biofuel/chemical will be discussed.
