BIOPOL: Assessment of BIOrefinery concepts and the implications for agricultural and forestry POLicy, for European Commission, DG Research
The overall goal of BIOPOL is to assess the status (technical, social, environmental, political, and implementation) of innovative BIOrefinery concepts and the implications for agricultural and forestry POLicy. Biorefinery concepts are aimed at relevant market-competitive and environmental-friendly synthesis of bio-products – chemicals and/or materials – together with the production of secondary energy carriers – transportation fuels, power and/or CHP. BIOPOL will result in a scenario grounded assessment of sustainable solutions that impact several European key industries, and will generate valuable knowledge to fill in part of the research agenda of the recent Biomass Action Plan of the European Commission.
