Lignocellulose biomass/lignocellulosic waste biomass (LCB/LCWB) represents the largest renewable pool for potentially fermentable carbohydrates, which provides a good solution for bioenergy production. Although it is assumed to have a lower theoretical yield for biogas than waste material made of sugar or starch, it is free fromthe problems associated with other generations of biofuels. An inexpensive and efficient pretreatment method of LCB/LCWB is highly desired to achieve an economical biogas production process. This paper reviews the conventional, advanced and infant (i.e. under development) pretreatment methods that have been studied for enhancement of biogas production. In addition to various pretreatment methods, this article also reviews further aspects of the conventional, advanced and infant methods (nanotechnolgy) for pretreatment of LCB/LCWB. Thus, the article provides systematic technological strategies and new pretreatment approaches for sustainable bioprocessing of LCB/LCWB into value-added product.
