Impact

AFORE is an impressive collaboration between research institutes, universities and industrial partners, all of which are seen as leaders in their particular field. Located across Europe and US, the partners will bring together their expertise to tackle the important challenge of transferring forest industry into an efficient lignocellulosic biorefinery, in which the unique chemical composition of all wood fractions is fully exploited. This is needed to enable European forest and pulping industry to substantially increase its profitability and overall income while concomitantly affecting positively the sustainability of the processes.
