Biobased Chemicals and Bioplastics

Bio-based production is widely viewed as a central manufacturing element of the next bioeconomy. Bio-based products can be classified as biofuels, bio-based chemicals and bio-based plastics (with the latter two generally grouped together as bio-based materials). The earliest years of the 21st century saw an explosion in interest globally in biofuels production, with food crops generally comprising the raw biomass material. The focus on biofuels has since moved to second generation, or cellulosic, biofuels.
