BIO-HArT: Interested in samples lignin or derived bio-aromatics?

Biorizon Innovation and upscaling of Renewable Aromatics Technology (BIO-Hart)

For the next three years 10 partners will be working on the production and scale-up of aromatic chemicals from biomass in the interregional BIO-HArT project.


The BIO-HArT project is the next step in the industry-driven roadmap of Biorizon. The project has three objectives:

  • Develop optimised procedures for the chemical reactions and the conversion and separation processes.
  • Realisation of generic and multi-purpose process setups for three technologies (wood, sugars and lignin to aromatics).
  • Manufacturing of test samples of sugars, lignin, furans, alkylphenols, mono-, di- and tri-acids, functionalised phenols and other aromatic compounds. In collaboration with the industry applications will be developed based on these test samples.

This project was realised thanks to a contribution of the European program Interreg V Flanders-Netherlands that stimulates innovation, renewable energy, a healthy environment and the labor market through cross-border projects.

Are you interested in receiving samples to test in your application? Or do you have specific wishes regarding characteristics of the samples (functionality, reactivity, ..)?
