Replacing all petroleum-based chemical products with natural biomass-based chemical products: a tutorial review
Summary
This tutorial review explores the feasibility of replacing petroleum-based chemical products with alternatives derived from natural biomass. The study examines the current ratio of petroleum-derived chemical production and outlines pathways for transitioning to plant-based and other renewable feedstocks. The review suggests that biomass-based replacements could significantly reduce plastic pollution and dependence on fossil fuels.
Production quantity ratio of petroleum derived chemical products. This also presents the concept of replacing all petroleum-based chemical products with natural biomass-based chemical products.
