Abstract: The global shift toward a more sustainable chemical industry highlights lignocellulosic biomass as a promising feedstock for high-value biofuels. Although, the valorization of its main component cellulose comes with limitations regarding its recalcitrant nature and humins formation. A significant focus is on efficient cellulose depolymerization to bio-based fuel additives such as alkyl levulinates.
