Popis: The search for renewable feedstocks such as lignocellulosic biomass has become a must in the past decades. One of the major challenges regarding lignocellulosic biomass conversion into fuels is the efficient catalytic defunctionalization for removal of oxygen from the lignocellulosic feedstock. When it comes to the concept of integrated biorefinery applied to the ethanol-producing facility, routes dealing with the use of residues, such as carbon dioxide and bagasse, are considered to be key alternatives to process this kind of products. Throughout the present article, the concept of integrated biorefinery is discussed focusing on ethanol-producing facility. This article outlines some general catalytic routes focusing on liquid fuel production, such as bio-jet fuel, diesel, and gasoline, through Fischer–Tropsch synthesis, for instance.
