Abstract：
The world is facing problems of the increasing amount of resources wasted as the world population grows. Biowaste streams form a significant part of the overall waste generation, and a circular economy utilizing this biowaste will significantly reduce waste whilst lowering the anthropogenic carbon footprint. Due to their energy content and high concentration of hydrocarbon molecules, bio-based waste streams have the potential to be transformed into valorized products (energy, fuels, and chemicals) using biorefinery technologies. In this work, a mini-review has been conducted on available, mostly European databases on existing biomass types and biorefinery technologies to provide a framework for a desirable, comprehensive database connecting bio-based waste streams, biorefinery technologies and bioproducts, as well as the geographical distribution of feedstocks and biorefineries. The database assessment utilized the SWOT (strengths, weakness, opportunities, threats) methodology to support benchmark analysis and to identify critical gaps in underlying data structures that could be included in a single database. The results show that current databases are useful but insufficient for waste biorefineries due to limited quality and quantity as well as the usability of data. A comprehensive database or improved database cluster would be necessary, not only for technology development but for better investment and policy decisions. The development of the new database architecture would need to incorporate the aspects: expansion of database scope and content depth, improved usability, accessibility, applicability, update frequency, openness to new contributions, process descriptions and parameters, and technology readiness level.
摘要：
随着世界人口的增长，世界正面临着越来越多的资源浪费问题。生物废物流是整个废物产生的重要组成部分，利用这种生物废弃物的循环经济将大大减少浪费，同时降低人为碳足迹。由于它们的能量含量和高浓度的碳氢化合物分子，生物基废物流有可能转化为有价值的产品(能源，燃料，和化学品)使用生物精炼技术。在这项工作中,已经进行了一次小型审查，主要是关于现有生物质类型和生物炼制技术的欧洲数据库，以提供一个理想的框架，连接生物基废物流的综合数据库，生物炼制技术和生物产品，以及原料和生物炼油厂的地理分布。数据库评估利用了SWOT(优势，弱点,机遇,威胁）的方法，以支持基准分析并确定可能包含在单个数据库中的基础数据结构中的关键差距。结果表明，由于质量和数量有限以及数据的可用性，当前的数据库对废弃生物精炼厂有用，但不足。一个全面的数据库或改进的数据库集群将是必要的，不仅是为了技术发展，也是为了更好的投资和政策决策。新数据库体系结构的开发需要结合以下方面：扩展数据库范围和内容深度，改进的可用性，可访问性,适用性,更新频率,对新的贡献持开放态度，工艺描述和参数，和技术准备水平。
