The palm oil agroindustry not only produces the most consumed vegetable oil in the world,
but also a significant quantity of residual biomass. This waste represents real opportunity to …

Microalgae have great potential as a feedstock for the production of a wide range of end-
products under the broad concept of biorefinery. In an earlier work, we proposed a …

The production of bio-succinic acid (bio-SA) from biomass has the potential to partially
replace some petrochemicals, reduce climate change by capturing carbon dioxide, and …

Allocation and management of agricultural land is of emergent concern due to land scarcity,
diminishing supply of energy and water, and the increasing demand of food globally. To …

As new applications expand in the field of biomass refining and valorization, appropriate

This work aims at developing sustainable processes for pulp and paper industry by
integration of the biorefinery concept to an existing pulp and paper process. A systematic …

Biorefineries are facilities for the production of fuels and chemicals from biomass, which can
tackle the increasing emissions of carbon dioxide. In this paper, we formulate a systematic …

Biorefineries hold the potential to provide products and energy carriers at reduced
environmental impact compared to their fossil-based counterparts. Thus, they can contribute …

The paper outlines a systems approach with capabilities to address common complexities
and practicalities in the design of real-life integrated biorefineries. The approach favors a …
