Abstract
The aim of this project is to assess how energy systems based on biorefineries are associated to the concepts of circular economy and bioeconomy. Biorefinery offers a sustainable green option to enhance the efficiency of utilization of produced biomass, enabling a broad range of marketable bioproducts and bioenergy. The objectives will be accomplished by performing a systematic review of scientific and technological literature by associating keywords to describe these two matters, encompassing a bibliometric analysis of the evolution of these key words in the scientific literature, followed by a deeper assessment of most relevant articles content. Based on the most influential and relevant articles of recent years, a growing influence of biorefineries has been revealed mainly as a support in the transition from linear to circular economy, considering the upward trend in socio-economic-environmental nexus. In this sense, the analyzed publications show that the replacement of fossil fuels by biomass is commonly highlighted in the framework of biorefinery, especially in integrated systems. Moreover, although it still has limited scope and devaluation of final products, this reality can be reversed for their better acceptance.
