Abstract
A catalytic cellulignin fuel obtained by a biomass pre-hydrolysis process and that is composed of cellulose and globulized lignin with a specific surface of about 1.5-2.5 m2/g. The cellulignin fuel may be ground down to particles smaller than 250 μm and has a combustion heat value that can reach up to 18-20 MJ/kg and an ignition time equal to or shorter than 20 ms (0.02 s).
