Fuel and chemicals from lignin through enzymatic and chemical conversion (FALCON)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

The transition to a biobased economy puts strong challenges on researchers and industry to develop sustainable processes. 2G biofuel plants use waste streams as substrates, but themselves generate a new waste stream of lignin-rich sludge that is left after saccharification of the carbohydrates. This waste stream is expected to exponentially increase with an increasing number of 2G bioethanol plant ...
