Abstract

•
Integrated pathways valorise by-products as valuable resources instead of waste.
•
Integrated biomass conversion boosts efficiency and maximizes resource recovery.
•
Hybrid biomass frameworks support diversified products and flexible energy portfolios.
•
Coupling pathways enhance techno-economic viability of advanced bioenergy systems.
•
Hybrid bioenergy systems synergize thermochemical, biological and chemical pathways.

The exploitation of renewable energy resources for energy production has been inevitable for the unremitting development of modern society. Bioenergy offers a significant perspective in this scenario for contributing to sustainable energy availability. Biomass, which is a renewable and carbon-neutral source of energy, can be converted from its various forms into gaseous, liquid, and solid fuels by adopting the established biomass conversion technologies. Specifically, thermochemical, biological, and chemical conversion processes are technologies engaged in converting biomass into various fuels. The selection of biomass feedstocks and the type of conversion processes are selected based on the obligatory end-products. The technical and energy process flowsheet, engineering design, and ultimately the economics of biomass conversion can be optimized by integrating multiple biomass conversion processes. Hence, a state-of-the-art review is presented to highlight the significance of hybrid biomass conversion technologies for enhancing the energy-efficient conversion of biomass materials. This review study is helpful in broadening the scope of selection for the biomass conversion technology and its potential integration with other biomass conversion technologies for commercial implementation and future research studies.
