Under the umbrella of the EU Industry Week 2021, the European Chemical Regions Network (ECRN), the Province of Groningen and Chemport Europe are glad to invite you to the online event “Saccharide Agenda: the Future of the Biobased Chemical Industry“.
Saccharides are a valuable and readily available source of renewable carbon and therefore a suitable platform for chemicals. Evaluation of typical saccharide-based value-chains by industry experts reveals unique opportunities to produce renewable intermediate chemicals and polymers from regionally available agricultural products and imported feedstock in the period up to 2050.
This webinar will cover the way saccharide can be used in the chemical industry and give an overview of the Saccharide Agenda for the Northern Netherlands.
