Abstract
Worldwide, population growth has had a direct impact on increasing demand for food, fuel, raw materials, and some other chemicals. In this context, meeting current needs without compromising the resources available to future generations has become a highly relevant issue; in the past decade, the scientific communities, government, and technology have focused their efforts on it. In this sense, the conversion of biomasses through biorefinery schemes allows to take full advantage to generate value-added products, biofuels, as well as bioenergy. However, given the wide variety of products that can be generated in a biorefinery, its synthesis is not a trivial task. Therefore, mathematical optimization turns out to be a powerful tool that can be used to accomplish that task. Therefore, this article presents information on mathematical models as well as biorefineries; in order to show how both strategies can make synergy in the implementation of sustainable processes, towards a circular economy.
