The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Microbial β-Glucosidase: Sources, Production and Applications (2017, background): “This biomass is known to be renewable with annual production of approximately 1 x 10(10) tons, sustainable and cheap source of energy [1-8].”
Cellulose, xylan and lignin interactions during pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass (2017, background): “Three hydroxyl groups in each monomer are able to interact with one another forming intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds which give cellulose a crystalline structure[4] and its unique properties of mechanical strength and chemical stability.”
Ionic liquids as a tool for lignocellulosic biomass fractionation (2013, background): “Lignin is characterised as an amorphous phenylpropanoid polymer that acts as a “glue” binding hemicellulose and cellulose by ester linkages and hydrogen bonds, respectively [2].”
