Biochemical & Thermochemical Conversion of Biomass

Efficient utilization of biomass relies on two primary pathways: biochemical & thermochemical conversion of biomass. Biochemical processes, including enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation, break down organic matter into bioethanol and biogas, benefiting from advancements in microbial engineering and enzyme optimization. On the other hand, thermochemical methods such as pyrolysis and gasification convert biomass into bio-oil, syngas, and hydrogen-rich fuels, offering higher energy densities. Recent innovations in hybrid processing integrate these approaches, maximizing feedstock conversion and energy recovery. The development of novel catalysts and reactor designs continues to enhance efficiency and reduce production costs. As global efforts intensify toward carbon-neutral energy, refining these conversion technologies is key to unlocking the full potential of bio-based fuels.
