Abstract:
Lignocellulosic biomass keeps getting momentum as an alternative to fossil carbon sources for the
production of biobased chemicals, materials, biofuels, and bioenergy (Menon and Rao, 2012). Agroindustry and
forestry are some production chains where LB can be produced and it was accounted that the annual production
of LB is around 3.7x109 tons (Bentsen et al., 2014). Cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and extractives are some of
the platforms that can be used from these feedstocks and their entire valorization should be considered for the
production process to be sustainable (Serna-Loaiza et al., 2019). Among the different agricultural chains, vineyards
are one of the most spread crops worldwide with around 8 million hectares (Statista, 2021). The annual waste
generated during the cultivation, processing and harvesting in the vineyards has been estimated to be 5 tonnes per
hectare (Zacharof, 2017), with the primary residues being grapevine shoots (GVS), lees, and marc (processed
grape skins, seeds, and stalks). In Austria, grape production accounted to approximately 330 thousand tons with
an area of 48 thousand hectares in the year 2018 (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO),
2020).
