What is Biorefinery?
Biomass Conversion Processes
The biorefinery overall is carbon neutral, in that carbon dioxide is "caught" from the atmosphere by plants; the biorefinery converts plant biomass to energy, chemicals and materials; in consumption, carbon is turned to carbon dioxide and "released" to the atmosphere.
