Abstract

Depleting conventional resources and increasing energy demand have placed immense pressure on the environment and forced mankind to look for alternate and sustainable energy resources. Biomass is a promising resource which is environment friendly as well as sustainable. Lignocellulosic biomass can be fractionated into cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin, out of which the structure of lignin makes catalytic processing more challenging. The selection of suitable solvent, catalysts, and reaction conditions for biomass conversion has a vital role in the yield and composition of targeted products. Biomass can be converted into oil, gas, and char using a suitable catalyst and conversion processes. Valuable chemicals and transportation fuel can be generated from oil obtained from sustainable biomass such as agricultural waste, forestry products, inedible plants, etc. The product obtained from most of the conversion processes is a complex mixture of chemicals demanding further separation and upgradation. Catalytic oil upgradation is necessary before being used as a transportation fuel. It is essential to identify the basic/platform components that can be produced from biomass and serve as feedstock for the synthesis of the majority of the chemicals. Catalyst can facilitate the selective transformation of molecules provided it is sustainable in terms of its activity and regeneration. An emerging approach integrates various routes of biomass conversion technologies such as catalytic pyrolysis, hydrolysis, and liquefaction over a suitable solid catalyst to transform biomass into useful chemicals and fuels. This chapter summarizes the technological challenges to selectively convert biomass to oil or basic chemicals and fuels by catalytic processes.
