The EU project BIOCORE conceived and analysed the industrial feasibility of a biorefinery concept that allows the conversion of cereal by-products (straws etc), forestry residues andshort rotation woody crops into a wide spectrum of products including 2nd generation biofuels, chemical intermediates, polymers and materials. Through the development of a range of polymer building blocks, BIOCORE showed how 70% of today’s polymers can be derived from biomass.
