IMPRESS webinar – Conceptual Process Design Of An Optimized and Integrated Biorefinery

 

Join us to the webinar series organised by an EU funded IMPRESS project, focusing on finding ways to produce sustainable chemicals and materials. Our project partners will follow you through the different steps and main results of the IMPRESS biorefining process in a series of four webinars.

IMPRESS project was launched September 2019 and it aims to create a new hybrid biorefinery process. It means researching and combining selected key technologies and using them to refine renewable resources such as forestry and agricultural residues into multiple sustainable chemicals and materials that can replace fossil-based products.

 

Register today for the fourth IMPRESS webinar, titled Conceptual Process Design Of An Optimized and Integrated Biorefinery on Wednesday, 21st of June 2023 at 11 CEST (central European summer time). Registration: IMPRESS webinar – Conceptual Process Design Of An Optimized and Integrated Biorefinery (lyyti.fi)

 

In this webinar you will hear insights on Conceptual Process Design.
