Summary

Woody biomass has increasingly emerged as a versatile feedstock for the sustainable production of bioactive compounds, energy carriers, and advanced materials. This Special Issue consolidates recent advances across three interrelated domains: (1) the selective extraction of high-value molecules such as phenolics, flavonoids, and triterpenoids using conventional and green solvents and supercritical technologies; (2) the improvement of biochemical and thermochemical conversion pathways for the generation of fuels, hydrogen, and carbonaceous materials; and (3) comprehensive sustainability evaluations at the system level, encompassing life cycle assessment and techno-economic analysis.
