Abstract

Bioproducts are bio-based products derived from sustainable resources or biomass. Energy, chemicals, and various materials obtained from such resources can be classified under the umbrella of bioproducts that provide an alternate to fossil fuel-derived products. Bioproducts offer the advantage of reducing greenhouse gas emission, arresting global warming, and preventing loss of fossil fuel resources. This document has attempted to review the three major classes of bioproducts, viz. bioenergy, biochemicals, and biomaterials from the viewpoint of a chemist. The emphasis has been primarily given to the understanding of chemical structures, formations, transformations, and reactions of various classified bioproducts. Chemistry is inevitable and omnipresent in the process of making bioproducts beginning with biomass through intermediates. The proper understanding, safe manipulation, and smart application of the chemistry involved in the generation of bioproducts are essential in the smooth transition from fossil fuel products to bioproducts with the ultimate goal of making the world a safer and cleaner place.
