The map distinguishes between \u201cSugar-\/starch based biorefineries\u201d, producing bioethanol and other chemicals (63), \u201cOil-\/fat-based biorefineries \u2013 biodiesel\u201d (64) and \u201cOil-\/fat-based biorefineries \u2013 oleochemistry\u201d (54), \u201cWood-based biorefineries\u201d (25) excluding those that produce pulp for paper only, \u201cLignocellulose other than wood\u201d (5) and finally \u201cBiowaste-based biorefineries\u201d (13).<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"17-11-Biorefineries-in-Europe-2017\"The prevalence of biorefineries differs considerably between countries. The type of biorefinery is clearly dependent on the locally available biomass. Wood-based biorefineries can be found mainly in Northern Europe and \u201cSugar-\/starch based biorefineries\u201d mainly in France, Belgium, Germany and Hungary, where we see high yields in sugar and starch.<\/p>\n

To create this map, Cologne-based nova-Institute conducted a comprehensive survey of all European biorefineries in summer 2017. The project was done on behalf of the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC).
\nFor this purpose, a large number of sources were evaluated and an online survey was carried out, during which biorefineries could register themselves. Eventually, 224 biorefineries were identified and mapped across Europe.<\/p>\n

Several dozens more biorefineries are currently under construction. The map is to be updated annually. If your biorefinery is missing on the map, please contact us: contact@nova-institut.de<\/a><\/p>\n

About BIC<\/h3>\n

The Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) is a non-profit organisation set up in Brussels in 2012. BIC members cover the entire bio-based value chain and consist of large industries, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), regional clusters and organisations, European trade associations, and European Technology Platforms. BIC represents the private sector in a public-private partnership (PPP) with the EU, represented by the European Commission, known as the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU), established in June 2014 as one of the pillars of the European Commission Bioeconomy Strategy. The Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking is dedicated to transforming renewable, natural resources into innovative bio-based products. www.biconsortium.eu<\/a><\/p>\n
