Waste generation is a significant environmental concern, leading to discussions about its effects. Biorefineries and bio-based products have a crucial role in reducing emissions and supporting energy systems, but their economic viability remains a challenge. This paper thoroughly studies the concept of biorefinery in waste management, technological advancements, and the importance of techno-economic assessment. Further research is needed to find the most viable solutions. This communication is valuable for decision-makers in identifying environmentally suitable biorefinery options.
Waste generation is associated with numerous environmental consequences, making it a point of discussion in the environmental arena. Efforts have been made around the world to develop a systematic management approach coupled with a sustainable treatment technology to maximize resource utilization of organic solid waste. Biorefineries and bio-based products play a critical role in lowering total emissions and supporting energy systems. However, economic viability of biorefineries, on the other hand, is a stumbling hurdle to their commercialization. This communication provides a thorough study of the concept of biorefinery in waste management, as well as technological advancements in this field. In addition, the notion of techno-economic assessment, as well as challenges and future prospects have been covered. To find the most technologically and economically viable solution, further techno-economic study to the new context is required. Overall, this communication would assist decision-makers in identifying environmentally appropriate biorefinery solutions ahead of time.
