The project is conceived to avoid waste production by recycling waste bio-based products and to improve the sustainability of existing second generation biorefineries. It addresses three types of recalcitrant raw materials: lignocellulosic residues from ethanol production, lignins dissolved during pulping process and lignin-like humins formed by sugars conversion. Enzymatic and process engineering will be implemented to design efficient conversion routes and permit technological breakthroughs.<\/p>\n<p>This project has received funding from the Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking under the European Union\u2019s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 720303.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zelcor, a 6.7M\u20ac million EU project focused on replacing traditional, fossil-based solvents, was officially launched on 1st October 2016.
