For a bio-based economy in Europe? Biorefineries

Fossil fuels are running out, the global demand for fuels and chemicals is high, additionally the European and National legislation has set ambitious targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction. To meet theses targets there needs to be the development of economically competitive solutions for biorefineries with low cost fermentation medium that are of important strategic interest. The production of bio-based fuels and chemicals requires the availability of a renewable feedstock at affordable costs. Today, industrial fermentation processes mainly use hydrolysed starch or glucose as a fermentation substrate. Read more ...
