Development, deployment of integrated biorefineries: The Digest’s Multi-Slide Guide to Biorefining in Italy

IEA Bioenergy Task 42’s goal is to contribute to the development and deployment of integrated biorefineries as part of highly efficient sustainable value chains (co-)producing food/feed ingredients, chemicals, materials, fuels, power and/or heat out of sustainably sourced biomass (wood, crops, residues, etc.) as base for a global BioEconomy.

Isabella de Bari and Maria Teresa Petrone gave this illuminating overview of the progress and promise of thermal gasification of biomass in Italy at an IEA Bioenergy Task 42 meeting.
