Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Every day, more and more biorefineries are gaining importance. However, the idea behind biorefineries cannot really be accomplished if it is not done in a green fashion. Thus, it is extremely important to go out of the box and to implement Anastas and Warner Green Chemistry principles into the concept of biorefineries. This Special Issue aims to mark a milestone in this field, and be a reference point for key academia and industrial actors interested in the development and implementation of novel green and sustainable ideas in the concept of biorefineries.
