Chemistry Based on Renewable Raw Materials: Perspectives for a Sugar Cane-Based Biorefinery

Figure 4

Biorefinery concept: in an efficient biorefinery, mass and energy flow are integrated and recycled in order to provide the maximum efficiency and the lowest cost; the integration into agriculture enables waste streams to be reused in cane plantation and CO2 to be recycled via photosynthesis.
