Production of Platform Chemicals from Biorefining Process of Lignocellulose Biomass and its Significance to Global Warming and Sustainable Development Goal

Diana Jose, Malinee Sriariyanun

Abstract


The world is facing an unprecedented environmental crisis, with increased emissions of greenhouse gases that have led to a rapid and steady increase in global temperatures and climate change, which in turn is causing catastrophic events all over the world [1]. In order to combat this issue, it is crucial to produce more sustainable and eco-friendly sources of energy and materials. Another important aspect of this approach is that it can help to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). Renewable energy technologies must develop significantly more quickly in order to achieve the SDGs, and steps must also be taken to provide a fossil fuel exit strategy [2]. This motivates scientists to create efficient energy produced from sustainable sources that will support society in the long term.
