About the Event
The Global Market for Biorefinery Products is expected to clinch $714.6 Billion by 2021 from $466.6 Billion in 2016 at whopping CAGR of 8.9%. Whereas, The global market for wood pellets demand in the industrial sector reached about 13.8 million tonnes in 2016. Every year, only 3% of the 170 million tonnes of biomass produced by photosynthesis is being utilized which can provide a number of opportunities to biorefinery and biochemical to process his biomass. The prime factors driving the Biorefinery & Bio-Based Chemical Industries include growing awareness of environmental issues linking with fossil fuel consumption and inflating global energy demand, consumers’ acceptance for biorefinery products and growing need for energy independence.

Economic Assessment of Dunaliella-based Algae Biorefinery
Production of 9-cisβ-carotene together with value-added chemicals in a Dunaliella-based algae biorefinery is highly promising. So far, Dunaliella salina, which grows in highly concentrated salt-water, is cultivated only for β-carotene production and sold as capsules containing unprocessed dried algae powder. However, separating individual high-value carotenoids and their isomers present in the powder would result in additional value-added products as per specific needs

Biorefineries: What About Law? An Italian Perspective
REACH offers opportunities for producers to provide safe bio-based alternatives for substances of very high concern. REACH aims to improve the protection of human health and the environment, while at the same time enhancing innovation and competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry. To the best of our knowledge, biobased chemicals are treated identically to petrol based chemicals within REACH. The pace of development of biobased chemicals has outstripped rigorous review of the governance and regulatory implications. The perception that anything biobased is inherently more benign and sustainable is inherently flawed – they are, after all, still chemicals.

9:05 |
The Road to a Commercial Biorefinery
Biorefineries are an integral component to the transformation of the chemical industry from petroleum refineries to biobased chemical manufacturing. There has been a significant shift in emphasis towards bio-based chemicals, in recent years the biobased chemicals subsector has grown much faster than the petrochemicals sector, and is predicted to continue to do this. Major bio-based partnerships have launched in Europe, but obstacles to biorefining remain, and policy is not yet directed at enabling the integrated biorefineries of the future. In a world driven by the triple-bottom-line, the economics and societal issues must also favour bio- in comparison with petrochemicals. However, that means that this very young industry must compete head-on with the petrochemicals industry, which has had many decades to perfect its processes.
