Lignocellulosic biomass have many challenges as feedstock for bioproducts and bioenergy production. If it were to be used for direct energy and thermochemical conversion, it must be in a form which is easy to use and efficient to transport. If it were to be used as feedstock for biochemical conversion, the lignocellulosic matrix has to be easily broken down into components. Thus, this research program will look at different pretreatment options, densification and characterization of biomass from agricultural crop residues. Pretreatment of agricultural biomass is necessary for densification. The pretreated biomass is then subjected to densification, because densified forms are less costly to transport. This research program will also look into the ease of breakdown of pretreated lignocellulosic biomass densified forms for use in biochemical conversion.

木质纤维素生物量作为生物产品和生物能源生产的原料有许多挑战。如果要用于直接能量和热化学转换，则必须采用易于使用且有效运输效率的形式。如果将其用作生化转化的原料，则必须轻松将木质纤维素基质分解为组件。因此，该研究计划将研究不同的预处理选项，农作物残留物的生物量的致密性和表征。农业生物质的预处理是致密化的。然后，预处理的生物质会致密化，因为致密形式的运输成本较小。该研究计划还将调查预处理的木质纤维素生物量致密形式的易于分解，以用于生化转化。
