IEA Bioenergy: Task 42 Biorefinery in a circular economy
The Global Biorefinery Status Report of IEA Bioenergy Task 42 (biorefinery) provides an overview of recent developments in the field of biorefinery. The report describes the current situation of biorefineries in a representative selection of countries: how many biorefineries are there, which types, which raw materials, which technology, which products, etc.
The overall aim of the status report is to provide a solid resource that will help to accelerate the further development and global market implementation of biorefineries in the circular economy, for example by identifying trends and new developments. The focus is on IEA Bioenergy member states. But other important countries/continents are also described qualitatively. An important part of the status report is an analysis of the deployment status of biorefineries in different parts of the world. Furthermore, the report presents both key technical and non-technical barriers to adoption and implemented/potential solutions to address these barriers. Furthermore, important examples were identified.
