"The BIOFUR project consists of three partners. The SME Avantium Chemicals (AVT - NL), selected as one of the Cleantech top 100 companies in 2011 and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS - FR) and the University of Messina (UNIME - IT), both leaders in their respective fields. This multi-sectorial research work will contribute to breakthrough knowledge on the catalytic furanic conversion fundamentals and will be necessary for a sustainable technological development of these novel polyester materials and fuels based on renewable resources.
The project consist of three workpackages:
WP1: Production, Characterization, Optimisation and Environmental Impact of the Production of Polyesters;
WP2: Development of Nanostructured Catalysts to improve the Performances and Sustainability of the Catalytic Conversion and Upgrading of Furanics, and;
WP3: Managerial, Interdisciplinarity, Intersectoral and Dissemination aspects.
The BIOFUR project shows that the proposed knowledge transfer for the three host organizations through the secondment of their own staff and the recruitment of researchers from outside the partnership is very beneficial for the host organizations by significantly increasing their research quality and overall RTD capabilities and competitiveness. The proposed dissemination and outreach activities will make sure that also to the greater European community will benefit from this project. The Coordinator of the BIOFUR project is Dr. Ed de Jong of AVT and the other lead researchers are Prof. Gabriele Centi of UNIME and Prof. Nicolas Sbirrazzuoli of CNRS."
