This is a review of work on the potential of biorefineries. First, it considers the concept of a refinery, the differences between biomass and oil, and the advantages of a biorefinery over a refinery. It goes on to describe the bio‐based economy and biorefinery concepts, and to discuss its origin as a promising alternative to dependence on non‐renewable feedstocks. It provides an exhaustive description of the classification of biorefineries, considering aspects such as systems, technological implementation status, size, feedstocks, platforms, products, and conversion processes. It outlines the main methodologies for designing biorefineries – conceptual design, optimization, and the ‘early stage’ method. Methodologies for the economic, environmental, and social assessment of a biorefinery are presented. Finally, challenges linked to the implementation of biorefinery projects at industrial level are discussed. The authors conclude that the methodologies of conceptual design and optimization must complement each other to achieve a robust design from a conceptual and mathematical point of view. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…While, solid residues can be composted, used for dairy bedding or applied directly to cropland. It can be also used in generating high-value bio-based products through biorefinery concepts i.e., Bioethanol [16][17][18]. Like any conversion process, AD has some disadvantages such as; it has poor operational stability thus, it is not widely commercialized [19].…”

“…It broadly aims to one of the two following end objectives, which are, 1) to be fractionated into three main elements for later conversion to bio-based products with maximal added-value, or 2) to produce basically biofuels, with digestates as co-bioproducts [30]. However, biorefinery concept has taken its shape lately, but still many studies and investigation should be implemented before an established system can prosper [17]. …”

“…International Energy Agency (IEA) Bioenergy Task 42 has developed the definition of biorefinery as the sustainable processing of biomass into a spectrum of marketable products (food, feed, materials, chemicals) and energy (fuels, power, heat) (Sonnenberg et al, 2009;de Jong and Jungmeier, 2015). The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) defined a biorefinery as a facility that integrates biomass conversion processes and equipment to produce fuels, power, and chemicals from biomass (Berntsson et al, 2012).…”

Modern microbial solid state fermentation technology for future biorefineries for the production of added-value products HIGHLIGHTS  Novel biorefinery processes using solid state fermentation technology (SSF) was reviewed and discussed.  Future biorefineries based on SSF serve as ideal platforms for the production of added-value products.  Generic fermentation feedstocks provide a complete nutrient for subsequent microbial fermentations. The promise of industrial biotechnology has been around since Chaim Weizmann developed acetone-butanol-ethanol fermentation at the University of Manchester in 1917 and the prospects nowadays look brighter than ever. Today's biorefinery technologies would be almost unthinkable without biotechnology. This is a growing trend and biorefineries have also increased in importance in agriculture and the food industry. Novel biorefinery processes using solid state fermentation (SSF) technology have been developed as alternative to conventional processing routes, leading to the production of added-value products from agriculture and food industry raw materials. SSF involves the growth of microorganisms on moist solid substrate in the absence of free-flowing water. Future biorefineries based on SSF aim to exploit the vast complexity of the technology to modify biomass produced by agriculture and the food industry for valuable by-products through microbial bioconversion. In this review, a summary has been made of the attempts at using modern microbial SSF technology for future biorefineries for the production of many added-value products ranging from feedstock for the fermentation process and biodegradable plastics to fuels and chemicals.
