This book presents a concise framework for assessing technical
and sustainability impacts of existing biorefineries and provides
a possible road map for development of novel biorefineries. It
offers a detailed, integrated approach to evaluate the entire
biomass production chain, from the agricultural feedstock
production and transportation, to the industrial conversion and
commercialization & use of products. The Brazilian sugarcane
biorefinery is used as a case study; however, the methods and
concepts can be applied to almost any biomass alternative.
Chapters explore the main issues regarding biorefinery
assessment, including feedstock production and transportation
modeling, biofuels and green chemistry products, as well as
assessment of sustainability impacts. This book is a valuable
source of information to researchers in bioenergy, green
chemistry and sustainability fields. It also provides a useful
framework for government agencies, investors and the energy
industry to evaluate and predict the success of current and
future biorefinery alternatives.
