Agricultural and forestry biomass can be converted into feedstocks for production of biofuels and biomaterials via synthetic biology. A key challenge is the complex biomass microstructure renders it highly resistant to conversion, and pretreatment is crucial for enhancing process efficiency. Micro-CT imaging will enable particle characterisation and identification of changes in the fibre composition during pretreatment. This information will be used to create a virtual biomass particle model for an in silico investigation to inform optimal process design. The framework will transform the way biomass is processed, contributing to the growth of the Australian bio-manufacturing industry by making it more productive, profitable and sustainable.

农业和林业生物质可以通过合成生物学转化为生产生物燃料和生物材料的原料。一个关键的挑战是复杂的生物质微观结构使其对转化具有很强的抵抗力，而预处理对于提高工艺效率至关重要。微型 CT 成像将能够对预处理期间纤维成分的变化进行颗粒表征和识别。该信息将用于创建虚拟生物质颗粒模型，用于计算机研究，为最佳工艺设计提供信息。该框架将改变生物质加工方式，提高澳大利亚生物制造行业的生产力、盈利能力和可持续性，从而促进澳大利亚生物制造行业的发展。
