The Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant is work<strong>in</strong>g on <strong>the</strong><br />
field of <strong>in</strong>novation and research <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> reconversion<br />
of biomass to biochemicals, biomaterials, biofuels<br />
and o<strong>the</strong>r bioproducts. The ma<strong>in</strong> goal is to speed up<br />
<strong>the</strong> bio-based <strong>in</strong>novation. Most importantly this organization<br />
is also provid<strong>in</strong>g service to o<strong>the</strong>r companies<br />
for process development, scale-up and custom<br />
manufactur<strong>in</strong>g; <strong>the</strong> projects developed are mostly<br />
folow<strong>in</strong>g two ma<strong>in</strong> way: <strong>the</strong>y can be bilateral projects,<br />
<strong>in</strong> which <strong>the</strong> Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant is follow<strong>in</strong>g<br />
a specific private company; or Consortium<br />
based project, <strong>in</strong> which a series of different actor<br />

Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant is a state-of-<strong>the</strong>-art facility<br />
that operates from a laboratory level to a multi-ton<br />
scale. The ma<strong>in</strong> goal is to speed up <strong>the</strong> biobased<br />
<strong>in</strong>novation. They provide services for process<br />
development, scale-up and custom manufactur<strong>in</strong>g<br />
of bio-based products and processes. The Bio Base<br />
Pilot Plant enables <strong>the</strong> reconversion of biomass <strong>in</strong>to<br />
biochemicals, biomaterials, biofuels and o<strong>the</strong>r bioproducts.<br />
A strong aspect of <strong>the</strong> bio base plant is that<br />
<strong>the</strong> entire production cha<strong>in</strong> is <strong>in</strong> one s<strong>in</strong>gle plant. They<br />
comb<strong>in</strong>e technologies utiliz<strong>in</strong>g a wide spectrum of<br />
modular unit operations, mak<strong>in</strong>g it possible to work<br />
from small to big scale processes. The team consists<br />
of eng<strong>in</strong>eers, operators and technicians.
