A platform chemical from biomass such as lactic acid or levulinic acid is one that

  • A.occurs naturally in a pure state
  • B.cannot be made from petroleum at all
  • C.can be converted into many downstream products
  • D.is the final product of a biorefinery

Answer: C

Correct answer: can be converted into many downstream products

A platform chemical is a versatile intermediate that a biorefinery makes in quantity and from which a range of products can be built, exactly as a small number of building blocks serve a petrochemical complex. It is a starting point rather than an end product, which is what makes the economics of the refinery work.
