Anaerobic FermenTation & EsteRification of BIOmass to produce at industrial scale fine CHEmicals

The AFTER-BIOCHEM project is aiming to develop the first all-in-one chemical platform for creating multiple value chains based on the transformation of sugar industry's co-product as well as other non-food biomass feedstocks - into bio-based molecules and derivatives for various applications.

AFTER-BIOCHEM brings together at different stages of the value chain teams 12 European partners from 5 European countries. The project will be carried out over 48 months, from May 2020 to April 2024, with an overall budget of € 33M including € 20M funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and the Bio Based Industries Consortium.
