About Ethanol - Biorefining

What is biorefining?

Biorefining is the conversion of biomass materials, such as corn, grasses, wood chips, agricultural waste and other renewables into products including carbon-based fuel.

This conversion usually takes place at a biorefinery, which integrates the biomass conversion process and equipment to produce multiple fuels and products from the biomass.

By producing multiple products, a biorefinery takes advantage of the various components in biomass and their intermediates therefore maximizing the value derived from the biomass feedstock.

Benefits of biorefining:

Create valuable products from renewable resources
Reduce dependence on fossil fuels
Reduce greenhouse gases
Create jobs and businesses
Improve rural economies
