Abstract
The Virtual Sugarcane Biorefinery (VSB) is a simulation platform that makes it possible to evaluate the integration of sugarcane production chain in a biorefinery concept—cellulosic ethanol and other products from the green chemistry, new agricultural strategies for sugarcane and other feedstock production, as well as logistics and use of ethanol and other products used as biofuels and biochemicals. This simulation platform will help compare different strategies and routes, in addition to identify the processes and parameters showing major economic, social, and environmental impacts, in order to help in the prioritization of the scientific and technological research, and help in the formulation of public policies.
