Sumario:The ever rising cost of fossil fuels and unprecedented global warming issues over the last decade have put the biomaterials under spot light. Increasing levels of fossil fuel consumption have already put our plant's delicate ecosystem at risk resulting in a major shift towards highly energy efficient systems of biofules and bio-products. Based on abundantly available residual biomass, these bioproducts are not only potentially cheaper, cleaner and renewable but also ensure sustainable economic growth meeting burgeoning global needs of energy, chemicals and consumer goods.
