Do you think vanillin itself would burn, or be directly useful in
existing engines?
Well, it's listed as flammable, with a flash point of 147 °C. Compatibility with existing engines depends on a range of factors though.
By the way, the paper industry has had to deal with lignin for decades. An important byproduct of the process of extracting cellulose fibers from pulpwood is something called black liquor - really nasty stuff with the consistency of heavy bunker fuel. The best use they've come up with so far is simply to burn it to run the paper mill. Which seems like a real waste of a lot of really interesting phenolic compounds...
