Abstract
The sustainable production of chemicals and biofuels from lignocellulosic biomass is an alternative to mitigating the emission of greenhouse gases and dependence on oil industries. Besides, the transition from a fossil fuel-based economy to a renewable bioeconomy should promote job creation and economic growth. Biotechnologies for the valorization of lignocelluloses are a great challenge, as they need to be competitive with the current processes of petrochemical refineries. In this context, a facility laboratory with an open infrastructure for support biotechnological researches is urgently required. The aim of this multi-user equipment (EMU) is to carry out analyses of saccharides (native and oxidized) and derivatives of hydroxybenzoic and hydroxycinnamic acids, that will accelerate the scientific advance of research groups working in the field of converting lignocellulose into chemical bioproducts.
