Biorefine Cluster Europe

Biorefine Cluster Europe (BCE) links up projects and people in the area of bio-based resource recovery, with a view to contributing to more sustainable and circular resource management.

It focuses on the biorefinery sector, i.e. chemicals, materials, energy and products from bio-based waste streams:

  1. Bio-based (waste) streams as an input for the circular economy
  2. Bioprocesses
  3. Sustainable bio-energy production in its various shapes, and
  4. Resource recovery: extracting minerals, chemicals, water and materials from biomass.

Its main objectives:

  • Strengthening interaction between projects
  • Fostering dissemination and stakeholder outreach
  • Enhancing research
  • Identifying gaps in knowledge.

BCE aims to build its community and promote knowledge exchange.
