Abstract

Lignocellulose is a major component of agricultural waste. It is abundantly available, and lack of proper utilization has led to wastage and disposal in the environment, leading to air, water, and land pollution. If this component can be utilized in a proper manner, it will prove to be the cheapest raw material for the production of clean energy. Therefore this review targets on the possible clean energy products that could be made from lignocellulose and its impact on the environment. This will ultimately help to meet the increasing demands for energy requirements and, in the long run, keeps the environment clean and sustainable for future generations.
