Abstract

The biomass feedstock is a central part of the smart economy since the conservation and management of resources are essential strategic directions meant to encourage sustainability. The biorefinery economy stands at the forefront of a perspective, in which fossil fuels are replaced with biorenewables. This chapter discusses some basic aspects and recent advances in biomass processing and analysis from a biorefining perspective. The integrated production of bio-based products and energy is considered possible through the development of robust technologies for processing biogenic raw materials for the production of intermediate and final products in integrated and circular platforms. Large-scale applications are seen as evolving from innovative research aimed at the development and implementation of biorefineries, in multistep, multiproduct facilities designed for the eco-efficient production of specific biosourced feedstocks. This integrated approach which encompasses economic progress and environmental impacts is a prerequisite for decision making in related economic and industrial branches.
