In spite of high prices for fossil raw materials the production of biomass-based products is rarely economically successful today. Depending on the location feedstock prices are currently so high that products from renewable resources are not marketable when produced in existing process chains. Apart from the higher feedstock costs one reason is that at present no optimized production systems exist in contrast to the chemical and petrochemical industry where these systems have been established over the last decades. If we succeed in developing production systems modelled on those of petroleum refineries where we can provide a flexible coupled production of energy, fuels, materials and chemicals chances are good to enable a lastingly successful production on the basis of renewable resources. Based on examples of fat-based and sugar-based concepts ideas for platform oriented biorefineries are outlined.
尽管化石原料价格高昂，但如今基于生物质的产品生产在经济上很少取得成功。根据产地不同，目前原料价格过高，以至于在现有工艺链中生产的可再生资源产品无法进入市场。除了较高的原料成本外，一个原因是目前不存在优化的生产系统，而化学和石化行业在过去几十年中已经建立了这些系统。如果我们能够成功开发出以炼油厂为蓝本的生产系统，在其中实现能源、燃料、材料和化学品的灵活联产，那么就很有可能实现基于可再生资源的持久成功生产。基于脂肪基和糖基概念的示例，概述了面向平台的生物精炼厂的构想。
