Abstract
The suitability of several abundant but underutilized
agro and forest based biomass residues for hydrothermal
treatment followed by enzymatic hydrolysis as well as for
hydrothermal carbonization was studied. The selected
approaches represent simple biotechnical and
thermochemical treatment routes suitable for wet biomass.
Based on the results, the hydrothermal pre-treatment
followed by enzymatic hydrolysis seemed to be most
suitable for processing of carbohydrate rich corn leaves,
corn stover, wheat straw and willow. High content of
thermally stable components (i.e. lignin) and low content
of ash in the biomass were advantageous for hydrothermal
carbonization of grape pomace, coffee cake, Scots pine
bark and willow.
