Message from instructor(s)
Woody biomass, with its high abundance, is an important resource for building a decarbonized society. Wood cell walls are composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and other characteristic components. I hope you will be interested in the effective utilization of woody biomass by understanding its chemical characteristics.
