Growing the Bioeconomy
Sugarcane is ideal for renewables because it is fast-growing with abundant biomass.
Besides sugar and cellulose, its hemicelluloses (or the so called 5-carbon sugars, Pentoses) are an ideal feedstock to make furfural (one of the oldest bio-based chemical building blocks).
Agricultural waste, cow dung, was used as feedstock for the production of a high value–added chemical levulinic acid (LA).

The conversion furfuryl alcohol to levulinic acid is of fundamental importance because it is one of the few reactions that integrate glucose and xylose reaction pathways.
Butanol is the go-to industrial solvent for products such as lacquers and enamels, but it might also play a substantial role in the production of renewable fuels.
