New flagship biorefinery to receive €11.6 million BBI JU funding

ReSolute, a new flagship project aiming to build a first-of-its-kind industrial plant for the production of a green, high-performing solvent from wood biomass, has received a €11.6 million grant from BBI JU. The project starts today and will run for three years. With ReSolute, BBI JU is now supporting 124 projects with €717.6 million in total.

 
EU Tender Study: Biorefinery Outlook and Roadmap

The tender study, financed by the European Commission (DG R&D), will investigate the perspectives for chemical and material-based biorefineries. Objectives are the development of a homogeneous classification system for integrated biorefineries and to show the wide spectrum of bio-based products which can be produced in these facilities.

 
Seminar and Exhbition: Green biorefinery – a Green Deal for agriculture – producing sustainable soy protein alternatives and biobased products, Brussels, Belgium

The objective of the seminar is to describe the potential of local biorefineries on supporting EU policies on environment and climate, and their contribution to EU self-sufficiency with plant protein and bio-based products. The seminar is accompanied by an exhibition on grass proteins and samples of grass protein that runs from 28 to 30 April 2020.

 
Building a lemon bioeconomy with green technology

Researchers from the National Research Council in Palermo, Italy have applied green chemistry technologies to open the route to a broader and richer economy for lemons, well beyond its conventional markets.

 
New online platform connects crop and food producers to biorefineries

EU-funded project Agrimax has launched an innovative new online service which enables crop producers, food processers and agricultural cooperatives to sell their waste as feedstock for two biorefineries: one in Spain and one in Italy. This will help maximise the EU’s sustainability while providing new biobased compounds for the chemicals, food-packaging and agricultural sectors.

 
Biorefinery pathways and outlook for deployment

The aim of the tender study "Biorefinery pathways and outlook for deployment" is to provide an outlook for integrated biorefineries. The study will raise awareness for the wide range of bio-based products and biorefinery pathways that can produce them.
