Abstract
This study investigated to understand the trend of international commercializing technologies and industrial status of the transportation biofuel based on lignocellulosic biomass. Two major commercializing technologies for the lignocellulosic biofuel are biochemical conversion technology and thermochemical conversion technology. It was reported that a total of 93 industrial companies were using lignocellulosic biomass of all facilities related to advanced biofuel. On the basis of commercial type, the biochemical conversion technology was identified to be the major technology in the lignocellulosic biofuel industries, showing 84% of all. Also the main products of commercial type industrial companies are bioethanol (1,155,000 tons/yr) and bio-oil (120,000 tons/yr), which are in a remarkably inadequate amount to substitute for the transportation biofuel worldwide. It was suggested that the transportation biofuel market was currently in need of further development in both technology and scale, and was in high demands of technological development and commercializing exertion.
