17 May 2019, 9:00-12:30 h, The goal of the BIOFOREVER project is to demonstrate the feasibility of an European biorefinery for the production of lignocellulosic sugars, lignin/lignosulfonates and other (downstream) products including carbon binders, enzymes, ethanol, butanol, FDCA, nano-celluloses and resin acids. The intention of this workshop is to create interest amongst workshop participants to […]

The BBI JU funded project PULP2VALUE opens its doors to discuss the challenges, risks and pitfalls of building a biorefinery. The ultimate goal of the project is the design of a fully integrated biorefinery based on sugar beet pulp. In this […]
read moreCurrently the industrial utilization of raw materials from agriculture, forestry, landscape conservation, and organic waste management for large-scale converting industry and chemical industry is still in its beginnings. The concept of a biorefinery is analogous to a petroleum refinery where a feedstock, crude oil, is converted to fuels, chemical products, and energy. In the case […]

read moreBiorefineries are an alternative to the processing of oil and its derivatives. Their development offers new alternatives for the use of forest, agricultural and algal biomass. This in turn provides exciting opportunities to generate differentiated products with a low ecological footprint and widespread market acceptance. After years of scientific and technological research, industrial applications are […]
