POET Biorefining

Biorefining is the conversion of biomass materials, such as corn, grasses, wood chips, agricultural waste and other renewables into products including carbon-based fuel.

This conversion usually takes place at a biorefinery, which integrates the biomass conversion process and equipment to produce multiple fuels and products from the biomass.

By producing multiple products, a biorefinery takes advantage of the various components in biomass and their intermediates therefore maximizing the value derived from the biomass feedstock.

Benefits of biorefining:

• Create valuable products from renewable resources
• Reduce dependence on fossil fuels
• Reduce greenhouse gases
• Create jobs and businesses
• Improve rural economies
