BIOMASS CONVERSION TO BIO-BASED PRODUCTS AND CHEMICALS

6.1 Processes for bio-based chemicals and materials

  • Advances in renewable chemicals;
  • Production of high-added value organic compounds;
  • New products from biomass: bio-based chemicals and polymers, bio-catalysts, additives; bioplastics, etc.;
  • Production of organic fertilizers and compost;
  • Nutrients cycles and recovery (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium).

6.2 Biorefinery platforms for bio-based chemicals and polymers

  • Fuels and chemical building blocks from synthesis gas;
  • Production of value added chemicals and macromolecules from lignin;
  • Production of fine chemicals from sugar and oil platforms;
  • Process development, maximising conversion efficiency;
  • Technical and biological barriers and economic considerations.

6.3 Co-production of biofuels and biochemicals

  • Combined production of fuels, chemicals and materials from biomass;
  • Innovative processes integrating fuel production into bio-based refineries;
  • Process integration;
  • Co-production options and economics;
  • Technical and economic assessments.
