Fine chemicals from beet pulp and molasses
The AFTERBIOCHEM project wants to develop a chemical platform for transforming sidestreams from the sugar industry – mainly beet pulp and molasses as well as non-food biomass – into bio-molecules and derivatives of industrial interest. This will increase the economic and environmental sustainability of the sugar beet industry at a time when it faces severe competitive pressures. Although the project will initially target sugar beet processing plants, the platform will be sufficiently flexible to be able to adapt to alternative feedstocks.
This platform exists to inspire, connect and stimulate biobased initiatives within, with and outside horticulture. Our goal is to realize the most valuable possible use of vegetable residual flows. Get an overview, get inspiration, get in touch with experts, publish your own initiative(s) and attract potential business partners.
