Value-added products can be defined as all those products obtained after one or more stages of processing, with increased value with respect to the initial raw material. Some examples of value-added products are all petroleum derivatives, leading to the design of refineries. However, oil is not the only complex raw material from which a large variety of products can be obtained, biomass is another example. The concept of a biorefinery was established as a parallelism with crude oil processing facilities where from a raw material consisting of a mixture of species, a portfolio of products is obtained. Similarly, biomass as a complex material can be processed to obtain a number of valuable products. The need to control CO 2 emissions provided the first push toward the design of facilities that produced biofuels, bioethanol, and biodiesel, as substitutes for crude-based gasoline and diesel. They were the main products of the biorefineries. The low margins presented an opportunity to transform a single product facility into a refinery so that byproducts such as distiller's dry grains with solubles (DDGS) in the case of first-generation bioethanol (Karuppiah et al., 2008), or glycerol i
