A value-centric approach to organic chemical classification in the bioeconomy

As a supplementary material of an original paper, this is a proposed framework for classifying organic chemicals within the bioeconomy, leveraging the concept of the value pyramid. By organizing bio-products based on their economic and functional value, this approach aims to streamline the identification and categorization of organic chemicals. The proposed classification system not only enhances the understanding of bio-product value chains but also supports more efficient resource utilization and decision-making in bio-product development and policy planning. This value-centric methodology offers a strategic perspective for advancing sustainable practices in the bioeconomy.

Moreover, to better undrestanding of complexity of organic chemicals, a chapter on organic chemicals also has been added to the repository. this provides a comprehensive overview of the classification system for organic chemicals, with a particular focus on bio-oil derivatives. It outlines the two-tiered framework employed to categorize these chemicals based on molecular weight, structural features, and functional groups. Each category is explored in detail, illustrating the specific chemical properties and potential applications of bio-oil derivatives. The chapter aims to enhance understanding of these complex compounds within the industrial applications of bio-oil, supporting further research and development in this dynamic field.
