BeonNat – Innovative value chains from tree & shrub species grown in marginal lands as a source of biomass for bio-based industries

BeonNAT Project

Innovative value chains from tree & shrub species grown in marginal lands as a source of biomass for bio-based industries

BEONNAT PROJECT

BeonNAT proposes to use marginal lands in Europe to obtain forest biomass for the production of 8 products based on new bio-based value chains.

This way, BeonNAT will allow the production of biodegradable bio-based products and bioactive compounds that will play an important role TO REPLACE FOSSIL-BASED COMPETING SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS.

BeonNAT will help to mitigate the impacts of climate change, enabling smarter and more sustainable products and materials, to make the most efficient use of our renewable natural resources, as well as providing huge economic opportunities for the bio-based economy in Europe.

8 new forest-based value chains through optimised production processes:

Essential oils

Bioplastics for packaging

Herbal extracts

Biochar

Wood pulp for paper

Active carbon

Particleboard

Absorbent for pets
