Promoted by the DBU, the meanwhile fourth international Biorefinica will take place on 27 - 28 January 2009. Guiding theme of the event is the conversion to biomass for the chemical industry with which especially also the use of non food material is considered. The high functionalisation degree of renewable primary products necessitates new synthesis and processing strategies.
The Biorefinica 2009 is the platform to discuss concrete practice examples, industrial applications and the economic viability of the procedures. One additional topic in the focus of attention is the evaluation and balancing of sustainability. On basis of such a balancing, different conversion procedures are compared and assessed.
