InnProBio, the Forum for Bio-Based Innovation in Public Procurement, aims to build a community of public procurement practitioners interested in Public Procurement of Innovation (PPI) of Bio-Based Products and Services (BBPS). More .. (more…)
Factsheet #1: What are biobased products?
Factsheet #1: What are biobased products?
The EU-funded InnProBio project published Factsheet #1. It offers some definitions and graphic illustrations on the type of feedstock used to make the products and of the uses for biobased products.
Factsheet #1 highlights the benefits of bio-based products, such as their potential to reduce the economy’s dependence on fossil feedstocks, to create green jobs (not only) in the European Union, and to help drive European innovation.
Researchers Developed A Process for Simultaneous Production of Furfural and Hydrolyzable Cellulose
Furfural (58.6% yield) and cellulose-enriched residue (>90% glucan recovered) are coproduced with 89.3% glucose yield in a MTHF/aqueous AlCl3 system. (Image: pubs.acs.org)
Coproduction of Furfural and Easily Hydrolyzable Residue from Sugar Cane Bagasse in the MTHF/Aqueous Biphasic System:
Furfural-based Binder for Composite Construction Materials
Waterproof Concrete: Furfural-based binder offers low-cost surface protection solutions.
Surface protection in irrigation and drainage construction, for galvanic, chemical and other special structure, etc.
Defining Moment for Bioplastic Feedstock Developments
The recent decline of crude oil prices during 2015 forward has hampered the growth of bioplastics, yet the remarkable technology achievements in biochemical building blocks of the past two decades will continue strong during this transition period. (Image: omnexus.specialchem.com).
With declining oil prices bioplastics will experience increased competition from fossil fuel based, volume plastics …
