Rice straw contains cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin which can serve as feedstocks for biochemical processing pathways.
These components can be separated and processed through a range of biorefinery technologies to produce industrial feedstocks and bio-based materials.
Biomass biorefinery systems may involve processes such as biomass pretreatment, enzymatic conversion, fermentation and downstream processing.
Through these pathways agricultural biomass can be transformed into biochemical compounds used across industrial sectors.
Biochemical compounds derived from agricultural residues can contribute to the development of sustainable materials, industrial chemicals and bio-based ingredients.
These value streams support the broader transition toward renewable and circular industrial supply chains.
The bioREFINE module welcomes collaboration with research institutions, biotechnology companies and technology developers working on biomass conversion and biorefinery systems.
International partnerships can support technology development and feasibility exploration.
