REHAP

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.

REHAP scheme

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
