Biorizon scales up: realization of demonstrators to produce bio-aromatics
BIO-HArT project partners have successfully realized two demonstrators. Since 2016, ten partners have been working on the scaling up of technology for the production of aromatics from biomass. The key objective is to construct demonstrators by the end of 2018 for the targeted future production processes. Two such demonstrators have now been realized.

Waste2Aromatics takes production of furanics to the next level
Within Biorizon's Waste2Aromatics project a consortium of TNO, waste management companies and value chain partners are realizing a blue print for a pilot plant for the conversion of biogenic waste into furanic building blocks. At this moment Waste2Aromatics is ready to take the production of furanics to the next level.

Biorizon extends IP portfolio on the conversion of biomass to furans
Biorizon co-initiator TNO has established a strong IP portfolio with patents on the conversion of biomass to furans (furan, furfural, HMF) and patents on the Diels-Alder technology for producing renewable aromatics from furans. A broad range of bio-aromatics is protected, including phenolics, aromatic acids and various bis-aromatics.

Bio-aromatics market introduction may benefit from a strong bioenergy policy
The co-production of bio-aromatics and energy products (e.g., biofuels, SNG, heat and power) is one of the technologies addressed by Biorizon. Bio-aromatics co-production may have a large positive impact on bioenergy business cases because of their higher added value. Jaap Kiel calls for a stronger bioenergy policy in the Netherlands with a wider relevance.

Call for participation: Lignin valorization
As part of the lignin-to-bio-aromatics horizon Biorizon is developing innovative technologies for the production of bio-aromatics from lignin feedstock. The ambitions are high: enabling large scale lignin valorization, both for large volumes and high-end applications.

Call for participation: MSCA Individual Fellowship
Biorizon co-initiator VITO is looking for strong candidates interested in a post doc position (2 years) to look at the electrocatalytic modification/ functionalization of lignin-derived compounds (monomers – oligomers) to promote their suitability for different application fields, e.g. adhesives, coatings, plastics and other industrial applications by increasing their reactivity, and hence to contribute to creating new wood/lignin applications.
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.
