Two research projects undertaken by Lignin Industries — the Swedish developer of Renol, a bio-based thermoplastic derived from lignin — have the potential to significantly benefit the automotive in…

Is there enough biomass to defossilise the chemicals and derived materials sector by 2050?

Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI) together with the joint project of the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC), has published a study that explores whether agricultural and woody biomass combined sustainably provide enough biomass to meet 20% of the future carbon demand of the chemical and derived materials industries in 2050. The study confirms this target for biomass carbon supply is achievable and sustainable without compromising food, feed, …
