The article states: "Lignocellulosic biomass refers to plant biomass that is composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin ... Biomass comes in many different types, which may be grouped into four main categories."

That there are four categories of biomass is all good and fine, but which of these four, if any, constitutes "lignocellulosic biomass"? 81.183.219.192 (talk) 18:53, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This statement "Biomass is a carbon-neutral source of energy: Since it comes from plants, the combustion of lignocellulosic ethanol produces no net carbon dioxide into the earth’s atmosphere." is either deceptive, or wrong. The combustion of lignocellulosic ethanol will obviously result in CO_2 as a byproduct, which was formerly in locked up in the biomass as cellulose. The production of biomass may be more sustainable than conventional fuels such as coal or oil, and burning of biofuels might be cleaner (I don't know if this is true), but burning certainly contributes to a net increase in CO_2 in the atmosphere. 175.38.192.172 (talk) 04:35, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
