A study into the composition and processability of different biomass feedstocks has found sunflower seed husks and poplar wood slabs to be the most suitable for producing bio-based products via fast pyrolysis conversion. The study was conducted by Capax Biobased Development and BTG Biomass Technology Group as part of the Horizon 2020 project Bio4Products, which is testing the feasibility of a fast pyrolysis based biorefinery concept.
Bio4Products coordinator BTG Biomass Technology Group has been awarded the annual EUBIA prize at this years’ European Biomass Conference & Exhibition in Lisbon.
A roadmap has been published showing how Europe’s chemical industry could transition to being 25% bio-based by 2030.
BTG’s fast pyrolysis biomass conversion technology will be coming to Finland as part of a €100 million deal signed this month.
Dutch timber company Foreco has joined the Horizon 2020 project Bio4Products to develop a breakthrough wood modification product, using waste wood in a 100% circular process.
Bio4Products partners exhibited their bio-based products and technologies at the EU Industry Days high-level conference, the European flagship event on industrial policy, on 5-6 February in Brussels.
The Joint Research Centre has published a report assessing the European market for bio-based chemicals, focusing on ten key product categories. The report was authored by BTG Consultancy.
The Bio4Products project is excited to announce that it has been selected as one of 30 innovative EU-funded projects which will be exhibited at the EU Industry Days high-level conference 2019. Read More
