Effective Use of Flax Biomass in Biorefining Processes

Applied Sciences, 2023
Flax is one of the few plants that are entirely a source of raw materials for further production. Promising directions for the use of flax biomass may be the production of bioenergy in the form of 2G biofuels and the production of “green” composites. The
