Abstract

Biorefinery defines an industrial structure based on the use of biomasses for the production of a wide variety of molecules. Its purpose is to obtain high-cost products from low-cost feedstocks. The stronger candidates for this technology include residual and agro-industrial biomasses. This work includes a review on the state-of-the-art on the production of biofuels in Brazil, as well as the tendencies and present situation of this field in Brazil. These information bring important data for the evaluation on the potential use of biomasses for the production of biofuels, serving as a starting point for a prospective technology for the production of biofuels, based on the use of renewable sources.
