Abstract: Studies on the integrated forest-biomass biorefinery are being intensively carried out. The integration of conventional pulping process with biomass conversion will be revolutionary for the forest industry. This approach can utilize lignocellulosic materials more effectively, and has huge impacts on the related industries. This paper reviewed the concept of integrated forest biomass biorefinery, especially the conversion of a kraft pulp mill into an integrated forest-biomass biorefinery one. Novel technologies are yet to be developed for economically utilizing forest resources, and also for the energy strategy to substitute part of fossil fuels with bio-fuels from renewable resources.

Key words: integrated forest-biomass biorefinery, chemical pulping, hemicellulose, lignin, biomass energy, renewable chemicals
