ABSTRACT
Lignocellulosic biomass is a renewable feedstock available globally for bioenergy power production. The biofuels generated from biomass conversion techniques have a major impact on GHG emission, fossil fuel demand, and environmental mitigations. A comprehensive understanding of biomass characterization and physicochemical properties of biomass feedstock is carried out to find the optimum design and operation associated with bioenergy production from biomass. The present chapter reveals findings about the lignocellulosic physicochemical properties such as elemental analysis, energy content, and thermal properties. Also, information about particle size, flowability, and chemical composition is presented to provide knowledge in the characterization of techniques and energy produced from the lignocellulosic biomass. Finally, the chapter discusses economic sustainability for biomass power generation.
