Overview
ABSTRACT
The main asset of second generation biofuels is due to the fact that their fabrication processes must allow for converting the whole biomass. The competition between the food and non-food use of agricultural products is limited. The whole plant is valorized; the valorization of a large amount of residues and organic waste can even be envisaged including for the synthesis of numerous chemical products and platform molecules, precursor to a significant number of chemical applications.
