The Refolution project will be present at the 32nd European Biomass Conference & Exhibition 2024.
This conference explores the topic of biomass in greater depth, from resources, research, innovation, deployment to policies.
The EUBCE will be held at Chanot Convention Centre From 24 – 27 June 2024 and the Refolution workshop is part of the events taking place at this year’s conference.
The Refolution project aims to demonstrate the transformation of bio-oils produced from fast pyrolysis into advanced biofuels via a process that can be implemented in existing European refineries.
A special Refolution Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) framework has been developed in the project to tackle the sustainability and responsibility issues regarding this demonstration process.
During the workshop we will discuss about the sustainability and responsibility questions based on the Refolution RRI framework.
