Abstract :
[en] Biorefining is defined as the art of converting biomass into bioenergy and valuable biobased products, providing partial or total alternatives to fossil energy and fossil-based chemical compounds. Among the biomasses worthy of interest for such technological, economic, and environmental promises, sugar-rich plants are the most strategic. They indeed enable the development of a wide range of technological intermediates and products, ranging from smaller molecules for chemistry to biodegradable bioplastics and new low-carbon footprint biofuels.
