In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate global warming while still managing to fuel and feed the world, many industries need to move towards using renewable carbon neutral feedstocks and away from using oil and petrochemicals. 'Bio'refineries making advanced transportation fuels and chemicals from plant biomass (i.e. agricutural wastes such as straw, or wood cuttings) have the potential to revolutionize the industrial landscape and make production of our fuels and chemicals more sustainable, but this will only succeed if sufficient value can be extracted from the feedstock to make the refining economically competitive with oil refining. This MaxBio project aims to improve the economics of biorefining by optimizing several different stages of the process in a holistic way that ensures that yields of end products are increased beyond what's currently possible.

为了减少温室气体排放和减缓全球变暖，同时仍然设法为世界提供燃料和食物，许多行业需要转向使用可再生碳中性原料，而不是使用石油和石化产品。“生物”炼油厂从植物生物质（即秸秆或木屑等农业废物）中生产先进的运输燃料和化学品，有可能彻底改变工业格局，使我们的燃料和化学品的生产更具可持续性，但只有从原料中提取足够的价值，使炼油在经济上与炼油竞争，这才能成功。该MaxBio项目旨在通过整体优化工艺的几个不同阶段来提高生物精炼的经济性，以确保最终产品的产量超过目前的可能性。
