Abstract
A method for producing bio-oil using cellulosic or lignocellulosic biomass as an input is provided. Microwave hydrolysis of the cellulosic or ignocellulosic biomass is used as a pretreatment method to extract fermentable sugars from the cellulosic or lignocellulosic biomass. An oleaginous yeast is fermented using the extracted fermentable sugars to produce a bio-oil.
