Abstract
Energy demand is ever increasing, fossil fuels are depleting at faster rate and emission of green house gases by fossil fuels are increasing, this scenario forced the researchers to investigate alternate fuel. Biomass energy is a viable option as an alternative due to reduced CO2 emissions. Biomass from food crops not a good option due to demand of food. Lignocellulosic feed stocks are residues of food crop and forestry waste. This makes researchers to focus on the conversion of feed stock to useful green fuels and other flat form chemicals. This present paper briefly reviews the conversion of lignocellulosic material conversion to furfural and furfuryl alcohol by hydrolysis process
