Industrial Applications of Biomass: The Biorefinery Concept – creating high value product streams from biomass

This online event focuses on the biorefinery concept as a means to create maximum impact and value from biomass. It aims to demonstrate how biorefineries are essential for the future of UK biomass utilisation – key to the shift away from a fossil-based economy and the drive to net zero.

This webinar will explore the opportunities biorefineries present along with some consideration of the current barriers to their development within the UK. Presentations include a review of the cutting-edge Biorefinery Glas project in Ireland and an outline of work underway in SW England to develop a biorefinery model for creating seaweed value chains.

The session will also include dissemination of a recent biomass to chemicals report based on data collected in previous webinars in this series, as well as a review of the current UK biomass policy landscape.
