Expected Business Results

First results● Non-edible crops (annual and perennial) are grown in field tests.

● Strategy for culture rotations and combinations: On the way for finding synergies between edible and non-edible crops;

● Development of an efficient and versatile pre-treatment technology for lignocellulosic materials: Further evaluated in a pilot plant in Norway.

● Extraction of castor, jatropha and lunaria oils;

● Strong integration of the thermochemical, chemical/catalytic and biochemical processes: Some lab work is already ready for demonstrations;

● LCA (carbon footprint + socio-environmental and economic impact assessments): Specific tools being developed; harmonisation efforts with major sister projects in the EU;

● Strong power of dissemination and education, e.g., first EuroBioRef Summer School on the 18-24th September 2011, Italy (see http://www.eurobioref.org). A textbook will be edited for this occasion.
