Agricultural waste: Sustainable valuable products

With the development of human civilization and rapid industrialization, worldwide demand for sustainable products, including energy, increases. Quick depletion of petroleum resources due to excessive utilization seeks replacement with sustainable raw materials. The introduction of the concept of the biorefinery process is one of the major routes for the production of energy and chemicals (platform and pharmaceutical). The foremost intention of this chapter is to discuss the utilization of agricultural waste as renewable feedstocks for the production of energy and chemicals. All the processes consist of interesting perspectives regarding a sustainable economy, environment, and value-added products. In this regard, the chapter will be an inspiring guide for chemists and upcoming researchers.
