To scale or not to scale? Re-engineering biorefining for a more sustainable and circular future
Ahmad B. Ghanayem
TL;DR
The paper discusses how sustainable biorefining needs a comprehensive approach to move from lab experiments to real-world applications.
Contribution
The novelty lies in emphasizing a holistic process-level strategy combining techno-economic and life-cycle assessments for biorefining.
Findings
Sustainable biorefining needs more than just renewable feedstocks.
A holistic approach is essential for scaling up biorefining innovations.
Abstract
Further to the use of renewable feedstocks, sustainable biorefining requires a holistic process-level approach encompassing techno-economic and life-cycle assessments to help bridge the gap between laboratory innovation and industrial scalability.
