Abstract

Publisher Summary This chapter describes “integrated biomass technologies,” a systematic approach for maximizing value, performance, resource sustainability and profitability in the agriculture and forest products industries. The fundamental principles of integrated biomass technologies provide a global roadmap to a bio-based economy based on the systematic use of many less-desirable lignocellulosic resources to produce liquid biofuels and chemical feedstocks, advanced biocomposites and advanced structures. The switch in approach to meeting user needs will lead to a bio-based society using sustainable technologies rather than a society based on the use of non- renewable, non-sustainable resources. Biorefining is the first step in applying an integrated biomass technologies approach. Biorefining encompasses the use of all components of biomass to yield products, such as liquid transportation fuels, chemical feedstocks and energy.
