Session: Advances in lignin chemistry, isolation, and depolymerization

Lignin valorization is a crucial theme in the biorefinery. To produce renewable fuels and chemicals, it is necessary to depolymerize the lignin structure. Various methods, including biological degradation, thermochemical pyrolysis, and catalytic depolymerization, have recently been investigated for effective lignin utilization. In this session, we would like to introduce recent advancements and understanding of lignin valorization strategies.
