FALCON Workshop Gent, January 30, 2019

The first FALCON workshop was titled “Lignin valorization towards fuels, chemicals and materials” and was held January 30, 2019 in Gent.

Biomass of all types becomes increasingly important to provide biofuels, materials and chemical building blocks. This is a must to create a sustainable society, to reduce waste and to meet the targets for minimizing climate change. The European Union’s 2020 Research and Innovation Programme is funding this transition which is urgently needed and which has consequences for the chemical and energy sectors.

One of the projects funded is the FALCON project (http://www.falcon-biorefinery.eu/ ; Grant Agreement nr 720918) which focuses in particular on valorization of lignin which is the most recalcitrant component in plant biomass. As biorefinery strategies for biomass treatment and its upgrading are essential to realize viable processes, the FALCON consortium decided to organize a one-day Workshop with experts in the field as confirmed speakers. This event also offers a nice opportunity for participants to meet experts and expand their network.
