Biorefinery, Biofuels and Bioenergy

A biorefinery can be stated as a facility that incorporates biomass conversion methods and equipment to produce fuels, electricity, and value-added chemicals. Biorefineries are similar to today's petroleum refineries, which create a variety of fuels and products from crude oil. Biorefineries and bio-based products are essential for lowering global emissions and decarbonizing our energy systems. Biorefineries can assist in maximizing the energy potential of organic wastes while also addressing waste management and greenhouse gas emissions issues.

Energy demand is predicted to rise significantly in the next few years, and it is commonly acknowledged that alternative, sustainable solutions will be required to meet those demands. Biofuel works in the same way as nonrenewable fossil fuels do.

Bioenergy is energy produced from plant and animal organic matter, such as agricultural and forest residues, energy crops, wood, and organic wastes. Bioenergy accounts for about ten percent of total global energy demand. Bioenergy development offers a great opportunity to diversify agricultural production systems while reducing GHG emissions and achieving fossil-fuel independence.
