Roadmap shows how to improve lignocellulosic biofuel biorefining with high-value products from isolated lignin

Green Car Congress

The resulting roadmap uses the integration of genetic engineering with analytical chemistry tools to tailor the structure of lignin and its isolation so it can be used for materials, chemicals and fuels, said lead author Arthur Ragauskas, a professor in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
