Methodology
retrofit options:
Profitability is the main barrier for the transition towards a Bio Economy [1].
First Generation Biorefineries (1G)
Use renewable feedstock but they compete for food and water
resources.
Lower environmental impact compared with the conventional
refineries
Exist in full industrial scale plants but produce mainly a single
product
Offer several options of product portfolios through thermochemical and bio-chemical routes.

Case Study
Upgrade an existing 1G process [3] by integrating a 2G multi-product biorefinery technology
(CIMV Process TM).
