Call for participation: accelerate the development of bio-aromatics
Last year, the province of Noord-Brabant, TNO, ECN and the Flemish VITO announced to jointly invest € 10 million in the development of bio-aromatics. Now we are making plans to use the financing to accelerate the development of bio-aromatics. You can join and benefit from a significant leverage on your contribution as well.

Movie of Biorizon’s Waste2Aromatics project
Biorizon's Waste2Aromatics project that aims to turn waste into valuable raw materials for the chemical industry captures the imagination of both industry and media. Biorizon co-initiator and Waste2Aromatics coordinator TNO took the initiative to create a movie of this appealing project.

Separation/fractionation of lignin oils via membrane separation technology
In the BIO-HArT project VITO succeeded in using membrane separation technology to separate lignin oils based on molecular weight via a cascade process by using 2 membranes in series. Different fractions of lignin derivatives enriched in monomers or oligomers can be successfully produced with the developed protocols.

EU report on value chain, key players & constraints of bio-aromatics
Biorizon's Joop Groen and Ludo Diels have contributed to a report on biobased aromatics that was written in the context of the KETs Observatory initiative of the European Commission. The report highlights the value chain structure, key players and constraints for the domain of biobased aromatics.

Biorizon Lignin Application Center for superior biobased products
For companies that would like to introduce lignin-derived chemicals into their biobased products, Biorizon launches its Biorizon Lignin Application Center. The aim: to develop valorization routes for lignin and to create materials such as resins and composites that outperform their fossil-based counterparts.
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.
