Biorefinery
Biorefinery Scheme
Green & Sustainable
​
Green Chemistry principles:
Waste prevention:
maximizing feedstock valorization rate
Less hazardous chemical synthesis:
no chlorine, no sulfur
Safer solvents and auxiliaries:
solvent from nature, stable, low toxicity, low volatility
Design for energy efficiency:
energetically self-sustaining
Use of renewable feedstocks:
wood from sustainably managed forest and agricultural wastes as biorefinery raw materials
Design for degradation: Biodegradable products, from nature back to nature
Safer chemistry for accident prevention:
no toxic chemistry employed
UN Sustainable Development Goals:
1.
Affordable and clean energy:
carbon-neutral electricity and district heating as side product
2.
Decent work and economic growth:
-
high biorefinery yield
-
profitable without economy of scales
-
less investment risk
-
more accessible
3.
Industry, innovation, and infrastructure:
novel biomass fractionation technologies by green chemistry, fully compatible with the existing infrastructure of pulping and chemical industries
4.
Responsible consumption and production:
production of existing commodities in a more sustainable, circular manner
5.
Climate action:
carbon-neutral, sulfur-free, chlorine-free process converting renewable feedstocks into biodegradable
