Abstract

Renewable biofuels derived from plants are imperative to meet long-term energy and food needs. Sorghum is globally recognized for its multiple uses as a food, feed, and energy source. Plant biomass represents one of several sustainable and renewable green energy sources. Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is a robust cereal crop that thrives in arid regions. This review comprehensively explores sorghum's potential for bioenergy production, covering its life cycle, biomass characteristics, yield variability, chemical composition, and energy content. This paper analyzes various processing and conversion technologies for sorghum, examining biochemical (fermentation, and microbial) and thermochemical (hydrothermal liquefaction, pyrolysis, and gasification) approaches. It further explores a range of applications, such as ethanol production, biogas generation, and the synthesis of industrial products. Additionally, it investigates sorghum's role in producing microbial and algal lipids and bioactive compounds for human health. This crop is anticipated to significantly contribute to food, feed, fodder, and fuel security.

释放高粱的潜力：生物能源生产战略和创新的全面探索

从植物中提取可再生生物燃料是满足长期能源和粮食需求的当务之急。高粱因其作为食物、饲料和能源的多种用途而得到全球认可。植物生物质是几种可持续和可再生的绿色能源之一。高粱（Sorghum bicolor L.）是一种在干旱地区生长旺盛的谷类作物。这篇综述全面探讨了高粱在生物能源生产方面的潜力，涵盖了高粱的生命周期、生物质特征、产量变化、化学成分和能量含量。本文分析了高粱的各种加工和转化技术，研究了生物化学（发酵和微生物）和热化学（水热液化、热解和气化）方法。该书进一步探讨了一系列应用，如生产乙醇、产生沼气和合成工业产品。此外，它还研究了高粱在生产微生物和藻类脂质以及生物活性化合物以促进人类健康方面的作用。预计这种作物将极大地促进粮食、饲料和燃料安全。
