Abstract
Due to the current forces of sustainable production and available bioconversion technologies for biomass, the routes of biomass conversion to bulk chemicals are expected to make a significant effect on the production of bulk chemicals within 10 years. Biobased bulk chemicals, especially biofuels and biomaterials, possess a clear substitution potential of fossil oil-based bulk chemicals. Biofuels including bioethanol, biobutanol, etc., have appeared as an alternative and attractive candidate for fighting with the climate change and potential energy issue. Biobased monomers such as isoprene, 1,3-propanediol, lactic acid, etc., for biomaterials aim at making up the insufficient supplies of fossil-based monomers. Biotechnologies providing the tools for modifying and reprogramming the microorganisms and the integration of global engineering technologies will considerably accelerate the development of eco-efficient processes and products.
