Motivation to join Alliance as a mentor for Blue Growth

Participation in the Alliance strengthens Bio Base Europe Pilot Plants’s knowledge and experience in unique biological production upscaling processes within blue biorefinery.

Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant (BBEPP) is an independent, state-of-the-art facility that operates from a laboratory level to a multi-ton scale. BBEPP is a service provider for process development, scale-up and custom manufacturing of biobased products and processes. A wide and flexible spectrum of modular unit operations enables us to translate your biobased lab protocol into a viable industrial process.

BBEPP enables the conversion of biomass (a.o. agricultural crops and by-products, industrial side streams) into biochemicals, biomaterials, biofuels and other bioproducts. BBEPP performs the entire production chain in one single plant, from biomass feedstock up to final refined products. They combine technologies (biomass pretreatment, biocatalysis, green chemistry, fermentation, biorefining and downstream purification) for advanced manufacturing of biobased products utilising a wide spectrum of modular unit operations.
