Abstract: With the decrease of unrenewable resources,it has become the global attention focussing on producing fuel and chemicals from renewable biomass resource. Alkyl levulinates, which have extensive uses in the chemical industry, are a kind of important chemical product. In this paper, the production of alkyl levulinates from biomass is reviewed, and the future research trends of the production are also prospected.

Key words: biomass, alkyl levulinates
