Sustainable Biofuel Production from Lignocellulosic Materials Lignocellulosic biomass generated from agricultural waste, such as sugarcane bagasse and corn cobs, serves as a promising source for biofuels. However, these materials require expensive pretreatment and use of harsh chemicals to remove the lignin from plant matter. Researchers have now developed a technique to break down lignin and convert complex carbohydrates into fermentable sugars by combining laccase, cellulase/hemicellulase-mimicking nanoparticles, and a single-step process. The approach can eliminate the pretreatment steps and pave the way towards sustainable biofuels. Reference
