Research in Biorefinery

The fundamental aspect of the biorefinery concept is the sustainable use of biomass for production of a variety of products and services.

 

Biorefining is one or a cluster of processes that converts biomass into a spectrum of products such as chemicals, food, feed, materials and not at least energy products (heat, power and liquid transportation fuels e.g. bioethanol). We are looking at how the current use of biomass can be expanded to produce other valuable products.

 

The central research questions are:

 

• How can the production of bioenergy be expanded with new biomass derived products in an integrated process in a biorefinery?

• What is the best utilisation of biomass?
