Lignin is a complex and heterogeneous polymer found in wood. It composed of aromatics crosslinked with carbohydrates. If is the second largest component of biomass on Earth and has many applications. Lignin is difficult to decompose in the wild and a dense source of energy when combusted. Lignin may be an a source of aromatic compounds for OSE.
