Summary
Modern chemical building blocks and materials are primarily produced from fossil resources. Switching to a bio-based feedstock model would both safeguard against supply dependency and generate a lower carbon footprint, create more sustainable production systems and strengthen the competitive position of the bio-based chemicals industry.
BIOFOREVER aims to demonstrate the commercial viability of bio-refining 5-lignocellulosic (LC) feedstocks – predominantly sourced from woody biomass - that can subsequently be converted into biochemical materials establishing LC biomass as a feedstock for the chemical industry.
The overall aim of the project is to prepare for construction of a commercial scale biorefinery that can be replicated, completely or in part.
