TNO’s next generation biorefinery accelerates material transition
Biomass plays a crucial role in the material transition to a circular and biobased economy. The benefits of biomass go beyond sustainability alone. The benefits not only offer sustainability but also greater self-sufficiency and reduce dependence on fossil resources outside Europe. Biomass residues are available throughout Europe. Moreover, fossil fuels will eventually run out, making it important to take steps towards sustainable alternatives now. Biorizon co-initiator TNO and partners are developing the Fabiola technology, which enables this transition by converting biomass into valuable products such as lignin, thereby reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
Biorizon is powered by
This project is made possible by a contribution from the European
Regional Development Fund (ERDF) within the framework of OP-Zuid.
