Abstract

Biorefinery is a sustainable tool to generate manifold bioenergy products along with valuable biomolecules by utilization of relevant conversion technologies. Since the last decade, there is high attention on green concepts like bio-economy and circular economy for eco-friendly sustainable development. Recently, the conjoint economy concept known as circular bio-economy has come up to the light. It is with the prominence of holistically marking the environmental, economic, and social aspects of the industrial sector. In this context, a biorefinery could act as an effective tactical mechanism by adapting the realization of a circular bio-economy. This chapter gives a comprehensive overview of the bio-economy, circular economy, and the conjoint circular bio-economy. It illustrates different biorefinery models and the adoption of biorefineries in a circular bio-economy. It also describes the biorefinery framework for adapting circular bio-economy and methodology for assessment of biorefineries’ sustainability and information of biorefineries w.r.t. circular bio-economy. It focuses on the strengths and weaknesses of the biorefineries w.r.t. circular bio-economy. Furthermore, it highlights some challenges and magnificent recommendations for the adoption of biorefineries in a circular bio-economy.
