Paper & Beyond is the annual event of the European Paper industry and its value chain, bringing together pulp and paper producers, paper and cardboard product manufacturers, technology suppliers, EU policy makers, researchers & scientists and press.
Biorefinery
This seminar will describe the disruptive potentials of new local biorefineries to contribute to EU self-sufficiency with plant protein and new biobased products while supporting EU policies on environment and climate.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
An interdisciplinary team of bioscience engineers and economists from KU Leuven has mapped out how wood could replace petroleum in the chemical industry.
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.
This webinar will explore biomass feedstock strategies drawing from the long-standing experience of three experts in the field.
Flagship grant awarded for first-of-its-kind zero-waste biorefinery to produce proteins for food from low-cost sustainable feedstocks
In this IEA Bioenergy Task 42 report four case studies on biorefinery pathways are investigated via a technical, economic and environmental (TEE) assessment. The results will be presented in the structure of biorefinery fact sheets.
