The unique chemical composition of seaweeds and their fast growth rates offer many opportunities for biorefining. In this article we argue that cascading biorefinery valorization concepts are viable alternatives to only using seaweeds as carbohydrate sources for the fermentative production of biofuels. However, many challenges remain with respect to use of seaweeds for chemical production, such as the large seasonal variation in the chemical composition of seaweeds.
海藻独特的化学成分及其快速的生长速度为生物炼制提供了许多机会。本文认为,级联生物炼制增值概念是除了将海藻仅用作碳水化合物来源用于发酵生产生物燃料之外的可行替代方案。然而,海藻用于化学生产仍面临许多挑战,例如海藻化学成分的季节性变化很大。
