Forest biorefineries: Added-value from chemicals and polymers by new integrated separation, fractionation and upgrading technologies

The approach of AFORE project is to develop novel, industrially adaptable and techno-economically viable bio-based solutions for the separation, fractionation, and primary upgrading of green chemicals from forest residues, wood chips, and chemical pulping liquors to be used as starting materials for current and novel value-added applications.
