Bioeconomy for Sustainable Conversion of Green Solvents and Biochemicals

The bioeconomy presents a promising avenue for sustainable conversion of green solvents and biochemicals, which have significant applications across a range of industries. This chapter explores the potential of the bioeconomy to contribute to sustainable development through the use of green solvents and biochemicals. We discuss the importance of green solvents and biochemicals in various industries and explore sustainable conversion methods, including biocatalysis and enzymatic processes, conversion technologies, and biorefinery concepts. Additionally, we examine the environmental and social benefits of green solvents and biochemicals and the current policy and regulatory frameworks governing their use. Finally, we discuss future prospects for green solvents and biochemicals in the bioeconomy.
