A two platform biorefinery consists of two different types of platforms - a sugar-based platform and syngas-based platform.
The sugar platform biochemical conversion routes (typically fermentation of sugars), whereas the syngas platform depends on thermochemical methods (gasification of biomass to produce syngas).
Both the platforms can produce energy and chemicals.
The key benefit of a two-platform biorefinery is the optimised utilisation of biomass as it can produce a spectrum of bio-based products - chemicals, food and energy.
