Biorefineries systems

Currently, there are four phase III biorefinery systems being pursued in research and development, which will be discussed in more detail in this chapter ...

This means that the complexity of a commercial application, which means that all features are commercially available, is then only determined by the number of features whereas in noncommercial application the TRL increase additionally the complexity of the biorefinery system. 

The BCI of a biorefinery producing biodiesel from vegetable oil which is fully deployed, with 8 (1/1/3/3) is a benchmark to compare the complexity of other current and future biorefinery systems. 

The first results and conclusions of a critical review by the country representatives in lEA Bioenergy Task 42 show that the Biorefinery Complexity Index adds additional relevant information on the assessment and comparison of different biorefinery systems. It was concluded that the results are potentially relevant for industry, decision-makers as well as investors as additional information is generated to assist them in their strategies to implement the most promising biorefinery systems by minimizing technical and economic risks. 

Three exemplary case studies were chosen which contain elements important for the realization of civilization biorefinery systems ... 

The results are pardy attributed to the relatively low pyrolysis temperature (preventing an excessive degradation of the lignin) and the relatively long residence time (10 s to make up for the decreased kinetics of levoglucosan formation at lower temperatures) when compared to the state-of-the-art fast pyrolysis. Figure 8.3 presents an example of the integrated LSIWC biorefinery system. ... 

Simultaneous substrate utilization is the prerequisite for single-cell biorefinery. The selected microbes must possess the possibility to utilize the multiple compounds in the substrate mixture or biomass hydrolysates. However, to design a single-cell biorefinery system, the coproduction in single cell is necessary.
