Conventional resources mainly fossil fuels are becoming limited

because of the rapid increase in energy demand. This imbalance in
energy demand and supply has placed immense pressure not only on
consumer prices but also on the environment, prompting mankind to
look for sustainable energy resources. Biomass is one such
environmentally friendly renewable resource from which various
useful chemicals and fuels can be produced. A system similar to a
petroleum refinery is required to produce fuels and useful chemicals
from biomass and is known as a biorefinery- Sandun et al. (2006)
