As new applications expand in the field of biomass refining and valorization, appropriate solvent development and usage will aid in viable implementation. This work presents an overview of green solvent applications within biomass production. Particular solvent needs for biomass fractions to produce fuels and value-added products are presented. Green solvent metrics with respect to functionality and environmental, safety, and health impacts from a process and life cycle view are also addressed and applied to conventional and neoteric solvents. Current and potential applications of various solvents for extractions and conversions are provided for consideration in a biorefinery setting with discussion of future needs.
