Biorizon 2019 Upscaling Bio-Aromatics
With over 150 visitors, the annual event of Shared Research Center Biorizon at the end of November was well-visited. The bio-aromatics event highlighted the upscaling efforts currently underway in the three research directions or ‘horizons’: the production of bio-aromatics from sugars, lignin and biomass residual flows (via pyrolysis and gasification).

BIO-HArT: Patents, Publications & Pilot Plant
Since 2016, Biorizon researchers and partners have been working in the cross-border BIO-HArT project to scale up technology for the production of bio-aromatics from biomass, focusing specifically on woody biomass sources. Recently, partners within this successful project have realized publications, patents and last but not least a pilot plant.

New Consortium Will Convert Biomass Waste into Furfural
Biorizon is setting up a consortium around the conversion of biomass waste into furfural. We’re looking for waste streams, such as manure, cellulosic biomass residuals, spent grain, digestate and sludge. And for end-users to evaluate bio-aromatics in applications, such as coatings, lubricants and adhesives.

Lignin in the Chemical Industry
Published by European Commission – Today nearly all aromatic chemicals are made from oil-based sources. European researchers proposed to use lignin, a structural component of many plants and algae, as an alternative raw material in chemical production.

Bio Aromatics Derived From Lignin
Aromatic compounds are so easily extracted from (fossil-based) naphtha, that bio aromatics seemed to be science fiction. The reason: lignin, the most probable resource, was hard to handle. Green chemistry knowledge advances so fast that research groups like Dutch / Flemish Biorizon (TNO, VITO and Green Chemistry Campus) provide the possibility to commercially produce Bio aromatics from lignin…
