The research is consistently directed towards:

• Enhancing Biomass Value: Innovating and developing technologies to convert biomass into high-value, marketable products.
• Optimizing Biomass Utilization: Implementing a cascading biorefinery approach to ensure full utilization of biomass resources and minimize waste generation.
• Developing Integrated Systems: Creating systems that complete circular value chains through full integration.

Advancements and Application Results

CBIO's technology platforms for green biorefineries have significantly facilitated the initial commercial implementation of green biorefining processes, including the production of grass-clover protein concentrates as a substitute for soy meal imports.

The biogas plant, which is the world’s largest dedicated to research, is instrumental in advancing technology platforms bridging biogas production with future Power-to-X ("P2X") technologies and optimal use efficiency of biogenic carbon. Here the developed platforms of both chemical catalyst methanization, and biomethanization are essential as well as further production of biomethanol.

The CBIO pilot platform for hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) has fostered collaboration between research and industry, leading to the initiation of a demonstration-scale commercial facility for producing biooil from sewage sludge. This development marks a significant advancement in sustainable and circular bioresource utilization.
