Cover Story: Second-generation biomass feedstocks have immense potential in terms of creating a more sustainable future and shifting the paradigm from conventional carbon-intensive resources to carbon-neutral renewable resources. Unlocking the full potential of second-generation biomass feedstocks is essential to creating a sustainable future. By refining these waste feedstocks through biorefining, a nexus of biofuels, biochemicals, and biomaterials can be created. This is a sustainable approach to transform low-value residues into high-value industrial products with a target to reduce waste generation and greenhouse gas emissions. This innovative approach reduces our reliance on finite fossil fuels and promotes a circular economy where waste is converted into valuable resources for our inustries and societies. View this paper
