About a year ago, VITO – partner in Biorizon- installed the first and only pilot unit for production of bioaromatics from lignin: Lignovalue Pilot. To substitute products derived from fossil resources like phenols and derived ones by biobased, performant and safer alternatives that I the challenge we are facing! While the pilot units were realised with former funding by Flanders and Europe, with support of Catalisti – this ligninPlus project (with funding of EFRO and the fund Innovate and Entrepreneurship (VLAIO) allows us to expand the pre- and post processing equipment for handling lignin and the obtained bioaromatics for further exchange with partners.
