Biorizon’s BIO-HArT project is part of European Parliament exhibition ‘Let the stars shine'

Biorizon's BIO-HArT project is one of the European 'Let the stars shine' project which will be presented in the European Parliament exhibition which takes place in Brussels June 19th - June 22nd. The 'Let the stars shine' initiative wants to highlight fine examples of European projects in order to gain enthousiasm and support for European cooperation. Biorizon is proud that BIO-HArT has been selected by Lambert van NISTELROOIJ as the only project focusing on technology development for biobased chemical building blocks.

In the cross-border BIO-HArT-project 10 partners are working on the scaling up of technology for the production of aromatics from biomass. By the end of 2018 this must result in functioning bench scale demonstrators that can produce samples for the industry on a kilogram scale. Besides that, the processes for the production of bio-aromatics will be optimized further.

he BIO-HArT bench scale demonstrators will be realized at five different locations in the border region that complement each other optimally: the Green Chemistry Campus in Bergen op Zoom, the Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant in Gent, the Brightlands Chemelot Campus in Geleen, the Chem&Tech Campus in Leuven and Blue Gate in Antwerp. The accelerated establishment of value chains within this project will give an impulse to businesses and employment in South-Netherlands and Flanders.
