Biorefineries are core units that convert biomass resources to energy and bioproducts, representing the sustainable alternative to traditional fossil-based processes. The market size of biorefineries is expected to reach U$D 52,680 million by 2027, at a compound annual growth rate of 2.2% in the period of 2021–2027 (MarketWatch, 2021). Among several types of bioresources, sugarcane is the most important source of sugar and the second source of ethanol worldwide, being also exploited as a solid fuel in an efficient cogeneration system to produce bioelectricity. Sugarcane is a prominent feedstock for other bio-based products that could be obtained from sugarcane juice or molasses, from the lignocellulosic residues of sugarcane, or from by-products of alcoholic fermentation, like vinasse and CO2. This manuscript presents the status of sugarcane biorefineries in terms of bioeconomy metrics, scientific advances, and technological development, gathering information from scientific literature and patent documents with the aim of highlighting possible paths and promising bioproducts to be obtained from this unique crop at industrial level.
