The Lignoref project is devoted to developing fundamental knowledge about central processes for cost effective conversion of lignocellulosic materials into second generation biofuels and other value-added products. Central processes that will be studied i nclude biomass pretreatment, hydrolysis of biomass polysaccharides, fermentation of sugars derrived from biomass and thermochemical conversion of process by-products. The project will study different raw materials, ranging from wood to agro wastes (e.g. b agasse). Mechanisms involved in biomass pretreatment will be studied for three specific production routs; direct hydrolysis during pretreatment, hydrolysis after pretreatment and biomass gasification route. For the two first routs, the project aims at e stablishing relationships between pre-treatment conditions and the subsequent enzymatic conversion and fermentation. Furthermore, the project also aims at developing enzyme systems that will make the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic polysaccharides more effe ctive as well as microbial strains that will effectively convert lignocellulosic sugers to ethanol. Prodoction of value-added products from process by-products or separated biomass polymers (e.g. hemicelluloses and lignin) by chemical, thermochemical or m icrobial processes will also be assessed. Furthermore the LtL process for pyrolytic coversion of lignin to bio-oil will be further developed. The project aims at establishing a national knowledge platform on conversion of lignocellulosics. This platform should form a basis for future production of second generation biofuels and green chemicals in a bioreffinery concept.
