“Platform Chemicals from Biomass Fermentation”
Table showing the main platform chemicals and derivatives that could be derived from processing of plant biomass in a biorefinery, including glycerol generated as a by-product from bio-diesel.
The material name, structure, applications and current production volumes are given if available.
Direct extracts from plant biomass (e.g. plant sterols, artemisinin, plant waxes etc) have been excluded.
