In order to compete with fossil sources, clean technologies must be accompanied by technical-economic and environmental assessments in order to anticipate adversities in the development process and validate their potential. The Virtual Biorefinery platform developed at LNBR promotes the sustainability of the production of biorenewables through tailor-made evaluations.

Strategies for sustainable use of biomass involve monitoring ecosystem services on a regional and national scale such as climate change mitigation. They can also promote the reduction of common deservices such as greenhouse gas emissions. LNBR develops a platform for quantification and evaluation of ecosystem services and deservices to ensure the sustainable production of biorenewables.
