Research Progress in Biorefinery of Lignocellulosics Dr. Yinbo Qu Director, State Key Laboratory of Microbial Technology Dean, School of Life Science Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong, 250100, China Abstract: Many research projects in China on biodegradation and biotransformation of lignocellulosics have been carried out. After more than 30 years of research, several pilot scale facilities has been set up in China. However, the calculated production cost of cellulosic ethanol is still higher than that of corn ethanol. To overcome this problem, the biorefinery conception was introduced into research on lignocellulosics bioconversion. A corncob biorefinery process has been developed in Shandong University. By combining of cellulase and ethanol production with a xylose-related products xylitol, xylo-oligosaccharides plant, the ethanol production cost can be reduced. A demonstration biorefinery plant with capacity over 10,000-ton/yr cellulosic ethanol has being built at Longlive Biotechnology Company, Yucheng, Shandong. Key Words: lignocellulosics, Biorefinery, corncobs, bioethanol, cellulase Speaker’s biography: Dr. Yinbo Qu is currently a professor of microbiology, Director of State Key Laboratory of Microbial Technology and Dean of Life Science School, Shandong University. He is also the Vice President of Chinese Society for Microbiology, Advisory Board Member of Asia Federation of Biotechnology, Deputy Editor of Acta Microbiologica Sinica, and Editorial Advisory Panel Member of Biofuels. Research Interest: Biodegradation of lignocellulosics by microorganisms; enzyme engineering; microbial technology for bioconversion of renewable biomass resources. Publications: More than 260 papers including 94 embodied in ISI Web and 10 books were published with cooperation of colleagues. E-mail: quyinbo@sdu.edu.cn
