Aim and thematic areas

The valorisation of agrifood and urban organic wastes and by-products is evolving towards a fully and sustainable use through biorefinery models. This live training is aimed to share the current overview of technologies that allow to develop those biorefinery models with the attendants.

To this end, an ambitious programme has been prepared with studies cases and reference projects of the biorefining field. These are the main thematic areas (check the web site of the seminar to know the whole programme):
- Biorefineries in the bioeconomy strategical framework of the EU.
- Urban biomass.
- Lignocellulosic agrifood biomass.
- Livestock biorefinery (livestock excrements).
- Vegetable and fruit, wine and oil biomass.
- Aquatic biomass.

Small-scale biorefinery focus

Altough the biorefinery denomination could evoke only large facilities similar to oil refineries, the fact is that it is also possible to develop multi-feedstock small-scale models in rural areas. Nor it is necessary for the biorefineries to be new facilities but also they can be existent plants (biogas plants, wastewater stations…) that evolve towards more complex biorefinery models. The new circular bioeconomy will stimulate the creation of multisectorial value chains that ensure the commercialisation of the bioproducts generated in the small-scale biorefineries. During the seminar, the professionals will have networking opportunities to boost the development of those value chains.
