Empty fruit bunch lignin residues were converted into liquid lignin polyols.
Liquefaction of lignin was performed using bio-butanediol to prepare biopolyols.
Isomers of butanediol with PEG differently affected the liquefaction efficiency.
The highest liquefaction efficiency was obtained with 2,3-butanediol levo-form.
Resulting biopolyols were suitable monomers for biopolyurethane synthesis.
