Abstract: In one example, a process to make biogas includes providing a digester which comprises at least one organic material rich in nitrogen and at least one inoculum capable of converting a portion of said at least one organic material into methane under anaerobic conditions; providing a biomass which is depleted of lignin; adding said biomass to said digester; allowing sufficient time for the digester to degrade at least a portion of said biomass and at least a portion of said organic material to yield a biogas composition comprising methane; capturing said biogas composition; and storing said biogas. Also disclosed, are methods and uses associated with the use of a cellulosic component processed to be depleted of lignin which comprises approximately between 10% to 50% of the amount of lignin present in a biomass component prior to a delignification treatment, as additive to organic waste in a bio-digester.

Abstract: Method for controlled delignification of lignocellulosic feedstock and conversion of lignin depolymerization products into at least one ester compound, said method comprising the steps of: providing an acidic composition having a pH of less than 1, said acidic composition comprising: an acid selected from the group consisting of: sulfuric acid; an alkylsulfonic acid; and an arylsulfonic acid; a source of peroxide; an alcohol selected from the group consisting of C1-C6 linear alcohol and C3-C6 branched alcohol and mixtures thereof; exposing said lignocellulosic feedstock to said acidic composition for a period of time sufficient for the acidic composition to react with the lignocellulosic feedstock to obtain a liquid phase containing lignin depolymerization products and diester compounds and a solid phase comprising cellulose fibers; optionally, separating the liquid phase from the solid phase recovering a mixture of diesters, lignin monomers and cellulose fibers; and optionally, separating said lignin depolymerization products from said diester compounds.
