Lignocellulosic Waste Treatment in Biorefinery Concept: Challenges and Opportunities
Original language description
Lignocellulosic waste treatment in biorefinery concept serves the opportunity of environmentally friendly and economical feasible waste to X conversions into a wide range of different intermediate or final products that can be alternative to their petrochemical substitutes. The chapter presents lignocellulosic biorefineries from an engineering point of view. The fundamentals of lignocellulosic biorefinery designing approaches and recommendations are initially described. The literature and industrial researches present potentially industrially attractive biorefinery concepts, i.e. biogas biorefinery, CO2-free biogas biorefinery, and bioethanol biorefinery. Economic feasibility and sensitivity analysis of selected pathways are critically discussed, and crucial risk factors are identified. Combining all the findings, it was found that lignocellulosic biorefineries cannot compete with conventional fuels and petrochemicals due to high investment cost, operating cost, purchase cost of raw material, low selling prices products. Although presented biorefineries are at industrial level TRL9, SWOT analysis, design demand and recommendation to technology, equipment, waste as raw material and legislative restrictions are defined. Several challenges and opportunities were identified to develop sustainable approaches that provide intensive processing, economic feasibility, and ecological lignocellulosic biomass conversion into targeted products. However, it is impossible to make lignocellulosic biorefinery economically attractive without favourable legislation and economic policy.
