- Biobased production is seen as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, but it raises societal concerns and value tensions that have not been fully addressed.
- This research examines the incorporation of stakeholder values into biorefinery design using elements of value sensitive design (VSD) and introduces midstream modulation (MM) to enhance value consideration during development.
- The findings suggest that using MM can lead to new design alternatives that align with stakeholders’ values and help address emerging tensions, demonstrating a fresh approach to integrating VSD in complex systems like biorefineries.
