Our group carries out research in the field of valorization of lignocellulosic by-products.

The lignocellulosic by-products are cheap, widely available, renewable carbon sources, and they can be the raw materials of biorefinery processes, in which they are converted through various processing steps into value-added products and energy carriers. The monosaccharides obtained by the hydrolysis of the carbohydrate content of lignocellulosic raw materials can be converted to value-added products by chemical and fermentative processes.
