Abstract: Based on introduction of the major components and content of agricultural residue biomass, this article briefly described the recent development in the conversion of celluloses, hemicelluloses and lignin as the main components in the cell wall of agricultural residue biomass into bioenergy such as ethanol, acetone and high-value chemicals such as furfural and furans. Furthermore, the problems in the conversion of biomass into bioenergy and high value-added chemicals were pointed out. The future development was brought forward, as well.

Key words: biomass, conversion, energy, high-value chemicals
