Systematic approach to Reduce Energy demand and CO2 emissions of processes that transform agroforestry waste into High Added-value Products
As such, Rehap will help to reduce the use of fossil resources and energy in the process industry. This will be done by developing insulation foams, adhesives, bio-resins and cement that are produced using renewable materials and that do not require the use of petroleum-based materials.
ACTIVITIES of Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant
- Recovery of tannins and sugars from bark
- Recovery of lignin and sugars from straw hydrolysate
- Production of chemical building blocks from the recovered sugars via fermentation
- Scale-up of the 2,3 Butanediol fermentation process to 1.500L scale
- Scale-up of the aforementioned recovery processes to 10.000L scale
