Description

This work presents a systematic procedure for the synthesis of multiproduct processes based on biomass towards the production of a portfolio of products. It is a hybrid scheme that combines the use of metrics and superstructure optimization approach for the selection of products and processing stages towards making the most of the biomass including the food – energy nexus. A case study of  interest, the olive tree is used to present the results of the methodology since olive oil, antioxidants, energy and other by-products can be obtained from the leaves, the tree residues and the olives.
