The Next Generation Biorefinary –Technology Forecasting for Products from
Biomass
Adelaide Maria de Souza Antunes
Firjan - Rio de Janeiro,10/11/2010
The typical biorefinery platforms are:
The sugar platform uses hexose and pentose sugars extracted or converted from plant body mass.
The thermochemical (syngas) platform entails a chemical or biological conversion process using pyrolysis or gasification of plants to produce biofuels.
The carbon-rich chains platform produces biodiesel and/or oleochemicals from long-chain fatty acids.
The next generation biorefineries
The next generation biorefineries
need to build through modern green chemical technologies
in order to make more complex molecules and materials
on which a future sustainable society will be based.
