The Biorefine Cluster Europe interconnects projects and people within the domain of biobased resource recovery, striving to contribute to a more sustainable resource management in the framework of circular economy systems.
The competence focus lies within the biorefinery sector: the refinement of chemicals, materials, energy and products from biobased waste streams. It can be subdivided in four categories:
- Biobased (waste)streams as an input for the circular economy
- Bioprocesses
- Sustainable bio-energy production in its various shapes and forms
- Resource Recovery: extracting minerals, chemicals, water and materials from biomass
The objectives of BCE are to
- Strengthen interaction between projects involved
- Foster dissemination and stakeholders outreach (triple helix approach)
- Enhance research, policy & business development
- Identifying gaps in knowledge and addressing them through new project development
