Report of Biorizon’s Annual Event 2017: from the lab to piloting
Due to the popularity and expansion of its Community, Biorizon had to move to a larger venue for the 4th edition of its annual event, held on 30 November. In a tastefully renovated old engineering workshop, located in the old port of Antwerp, representatives from industry, knowledge institutes and the government gathered for a state of affairs about the progress in Biorizon’s quest: technology development for the commercialization of bio-aromatics.

€10 million for developing sustainable raw materials for chemical industry
The province of Noord-Brabant, TNO, ECN and the Flemish VITO are jointly investing €10 million in the development of bio-aromatics: sustainable raw materials for the chemical industry. Shared Research Center Biorizon will use the funds to finance various projects designed to bring the ultimate aim closer: enabling the commercial production of bio-aromatics for industry in 2025. The four parties made this announcement in Antwerp during Biorizon's annual event.

Biorizon presents virtual reality model of demonstrator for bio-aromatics
Biorizon presents a virtual reality model of it's Continuous Flow Diels-Alder Skid. You can easily walk through the skid and by clicking on the hot spots you get more detailed information. A unique experience! At Biorizon's Annual Event, on 30 November in Antwerp, participants got the opportunity to undergo the full virtual reality experience by wearing special goggles.

New Biorizon project on pyrolysis-based application of lignin-rich residues
E4 BioFRAME is a new Biorizon project on application of pyrolysis oil fractions and pyrolysis char from lignin-rich residues. These residues are traditionally used only for low-value heating applications. Through pyrolysis, char and pyrolysis oil fractions are obtained which can serve as a bio-based additive or substitute of fossil based compounds in higher-value applications.

Biorizon scales up: realization of demonstrators to produce bio-aromatics
BIO-HArT project partners have successfully realized two demonstrators. Since 2016, ten partners have been working on the scaling up of technology for the production of aromatics from biomass. The key objective is to construct demonstrators by the end of 2018 for the targeted future production processes. Two such demonstrators have now been realized.
Biorizon is powered by
This project is made possible by a contribution from the European
Regional Development Fund (ERDF) within the framework of OP-Zuid.
