Furfural price is around of 1.0–1.7 USD/kg. Sugarcane bagasse is one of the best feedstock for furfural production because of its high xylans content.
Unlike the conventional furfural production, in which the biomass is hydrolyzed to extract the pentoses, that are dehydrated to furfural in a single stage process, biorefinery approach is to convert hemicelluloses, cellulose, and lignin, in added value products.
