On the way to a green waste-biorefinery

A large amount of green waste is generated especially in metropolitan regions and it is not sustainably recycled until now. The majority of green waste is composted and subsequently used as fertilizer or is used in biogas plants for energy production. As part of the project “GreenToGreen – municipal green waste as the basis for green chemistry” new processes are being developed for the material use of green waste. […]

Bio-based products from fast pyrolysis oil

Fast pyrolysis technology can convert a wide range of difficult-to-handle biomass into a clean and uniform bio-oil, which is easy to store and transport. Most applications have so far focused on the use of pyrolysis oil for energy purposes, but the Horizon 2020 project Bio4Products has developed a technology to divide pyrolysis oil into multiple fractions that could be used for material applications. […]
