Conteúdo: 	Growingenvironmental concerns worldwide encourage industrial sectors to transition from fossil to bio-based products. However, deciding where to invest R&D resources is critical since many different bio-based products can be economically competitive. As one of the biggest biomass producers, Brazil plays an important role in this transition as a feedstock supplier. In this work, the Delphi technique was employed to identify Brazil?s challenges and opportunities for the local production of renewable short-chain acids and alcohols in the bioeconomy context. The results indicate that optimization and development of the downstream processes to reduce costs are the main challenges for traditional renewables and drop-in chemicals pro- duction. For new renewable chemicals, the main challenge is to demonstrate the economic potential of these compounds, as they do not have a pre-established market and depend on proving their performance. Lactic acid, acrylic acid, levulinic acid, ethanol, isobutanol, and polyols are the most locally demanded products from biomass. This work also shows that Brazilian perspectives on bio-based alcohols and carboxylic acids are aligned with worldwide demands. This study successfully sum- marizes the view of specialists on technological developments, challenges, and limitations to the bio-based process in Brazil.
