By-Products for Biorefineries

Description

oilseed crops residues are biorefined to produce bioactive compounds

Sector

A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities

Needs/ Problem statement

develop an articulated system of biorefineries that allows maximum exploitation of the biomass of oil crops (hemp, safflower, flax and camelina)

Objective

the use of various parts of biomass and production residues for the development of innovative and more sustainable bioproducts for at least 6 sectors of the Tuscan industry: food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, construction, wood, automotive (camper)
