Topsoe partner in new Danish BioRefining Alliance
From waste to usable products. BioRefining Alliance is a new and groundbreaking partnership aiming at accelerating Denmark’s leading position in the field of sustainable bio-based technologies. With sustainable technologies it is possible to transform biomass such as agricultural waste to high value fuels and chemicals which we obtain from fossil resources today. The BioRefining Alliance intends to play a central role in establishing sustainable solutions to the global energy and resource challenges.
The BioRefining Alliance counts three major Danish companies: Topsoe, Novozymes and DONG Energy as well as the Danish Agriculture and Food Council but will aim at including all relevant public and private partners. The BioRefining Alliance has defined four focus areas: Innovation, research, legislative rules and dissemination.
Remarkable results
"The task is challenging, but by gathering Denmark’s leading capacities in the field, we expect to achieve remarkable results," says Jesper Nerlov, Executive Vice President, Research and Development, Topsoe. "We have already developed a large variety of catalytic technologies for sustainable conversion of biomass into valuable products. There is however a need for bringing all parties that can contribute to this development together in order to create, demonstrate and industrialise future sustainable technologies. This will be the focus of the BioRefining Alliance."
