Recent technical and non-technical biorefinery development barriers and potential solutions for a sustainable environment: A mini review

Diverse biomass sources are used in advanced processes called biorefineries to create biofuels, high-value products and for industrial effluents treatment. Making a workable model for its legal execution, however, is a simple task. The issues relating to innovation and financial reasonability are th...

description Diverse biomass sources are used in advanced processes called biorefineries to create biofuels, high-value products and for industrial effluents treatment. Making a workable model for its legal execution, however, is a simple task. The issues relating to innovation and financial reasonability are the most pressing ones. The structures for gathering, storing, and harvesting feedstocks; the biorefinery conversion procedures ranging from pre-treatment, essential refining, secondary filtration, purification, item moulding, recovery and yet again utilisation of result streams. The general non-technical deployment drivers and obstacles in the fields of industrial effluent treatment such as environmental concerns, societal concerns, and legislation will be investigated. Although the complexity of treatment systems earned nearly equal high scores, high (production) costs are still seen as key deterrents to the deployment of biorefineries. Additionally deemed significant were the dearth of sustainability proof and the perception of food competitiveness. To meet the requirements of both present and future generations, it is also essential that we strike a balance between economic development and environmental protection.
