This tab presents a subset of biorefineries focused on producing innovative high-value or high-volume bio-based chemicals and materials, with bioenergy as a secondary product. Facilities primarily focused on bioenergy are not included. Only commercial, first-of-a-kind, and demonstration plants (TRL 8 and above) are featured.
