Biorefinery Challenges and Strategic Solutions for a Sustainable Bioeconomy

Pooja Ranganayaki Anand, Apinya Kaoloun, Malinee Sriariyanun

Abstract


Biorefining is the sustainable processing of natural biomass into a wide range of marketable products and energy. A biorefinery integrates various processes and technologies to convert biomass into valuable products, aligning with the zero-waste concept [1]. Over the past few decades, iorefinery processes have been at the forefront of sustainability, offering an alternative to traditional non-renewable fuel sources. As global energy reserves continue to deplete due to population growth and rising consumption, biorefineries have played a transformative role in reshaping the energy sector with sustainable solutions.
