Lignocellulosic cereal crop waste as a biomass feedstock for biofuel production: basic concept and latest developments

Biofuel production presents one of the most important essentials for sustainable development all over the world. Cereal and oilseeds crops are mostly cultivated for their edible seeds whereas their harvest residues are usually left in the field. However, they represents abundant and cheap, carbon-rich, non-food lignocellulosic biomass with great potential to be used in biofuel production. Latest developments on biodiesel and biogas production using different types of lignocellulosic biomass will be given, followed by cost-benefit analysis. The current status and possibilities for utilizing lignocellulosic biomass in Croatia will be discussed. An innovative ecological process design will be presented for the possible application of lignocellulosic biomass a) as a substrate for lipase production and/or as a carrier for lipase immobilization in enzymatic biodiesel production ; and b) as a substrate or co-substrate in biogas production.
