Abstract

Use of biorefineries and bioconversion for reduction in greenhouse gas emissions are discussed. It is found that biorefineries can play an impoartant role in replacing the conventional petroleum and fossil fuels by biomass derived fuels. Grains, wastewood, oils, agricultural residus and forest trimmings can be used for the biomass production in biorefineries. It is expected that the current research in biomass production and conversion will be effective in reducing the greenhouse gas emissions.
