Abstract
The depletion and rising cost of fossil fuel reservoirs are giving rise to biorefinery for the transformation of biomass into renewable platform chemicals. Renewable platform chemicals are the best alternative to commercial platform chemicals produced mostly by petrochemical methods using fossil fuels, requiring extreme reaction conditions with concerns over sustainability and environmental issues. Bio-based approaches of producing platform chemicals include CO2 fixation, with environmental benefits leading to a cost-effective process in comparison to petrochemical production. The industrial conversion depends on a selective synthesis of products at higher yields, with large-scale production, minimum by-products, and efficient separation techniques to obtain high-purity platform chemicals from renewable resources. With the estimated global market of platform chemicals increasing annually, there is a potential for mining platform chemicals in the future.
