26 Summary and conclusions Biorefinica 2009

27 Cellulose, Hemicellulose und Lignin are already used in industrial scales Increasing use of Lignocellulose is detectable There exist several ways for the production of lignocellulosic products. Lignin based products could partially substitute fossil resources. Technical feasibility studies are still running. High grade of functionality needs special conversion technologies.
