We live in a world with limited environmental resources to meet increasing demand of water, food, energy, raw materials and better healthcare. There are trade-offs within this Food-Energy-Water-Human health Nexus. Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant biomass on Earth, with an estimated 181.5 billion tonnes produced annually, and thus has great opportunities to replace petroleum derived chemicals and fuels.In our Biomass Energy and Materials Lab, our long term goal is to enable lignocellulosic bioeconomy via:
1. Efficient and sustainable solvent-based pretreatment technology
2. Exploring the innovative application in the form of materials to enable a bioeconomy
3. Establish multi-scale and multi-perspective sustainable assessment for above technology and supply chain designs
