This project aims at providing industry with circular and biobased bulk and platform chemicals new value chains. These latter need to be developed where waste sources (agro/food residues, mixed biomass/plastic, sludges etc) are converted by innovative technologies (based on hydrolysis, pyrolysis & gasification) into new chemicals. These chemicals can be used to replace current fossil based chemicals. ReBBloCS will develop these value chains in collaboration with relevant stakeholders (private sector, technology providers & knowledge institutes). A decision tool considering the full value chains in terms of social, economic & environmental impacts will help to determine which route towards a specific chemical can be a better option. Dr. Laura Franco-Garcia supervises a PhD candidate who is assessing the social and environmental effects of the treatment routes.
