Integrated biorefineries have the potential to contribute towards sustainable production of transportation fuels, energy, and chemicals. However, because there are currently no commercial biorefining plants in operation, it is not clear how sustainable they really are. This paper sets out to examine key issues associated with biorefining that should be considered carefully along the whole supply chain to ensure sustainable development of the sector.
综合生物炼制厂有可能有助于可持续生产运输燃料、能源和化学品。然而,由于目前没有商业生物炼制厂在运行,因此尚不清楚它们的可持续性究竟如何。本文旨在探讨与生物炼制相关的关键问题,这些问题应在整个供应链中仔细考虑,以确保该行业的可持续发展。
