Biomass valorization through thermochemical conversion of lignocellulosic feedstocks is limited by our lack of detailed kinetic models. In addition to adding mechanistic understanding, more detailed models are needed to optimize industrial biomass pyrolysis processes for producing fuels and chemical...
