LIGNOFLAG Commercial flagship plant for bioethanol production involving a bio-based value chain built on lignocellulosic feedstock

Coordinator: CLARIANT PRODUKTE (DEUTSCHLAND) GMBH (DE)

The LIGNOFLAG project demonstrates an integrated and whole value chain oriented approach to drive forth the bio-based production of ethanol as sustainable transport fuel or chemical building block. The project approach involves the collaboration of the relevant actors along the whole value chain – from feedstock (straw) supply and logistics via process co-products (lignin as biochar, sludge as fertilizer) utilisation and valorization to advanced bio-ethanol production and product distribution. The core part of the project is the first-of-a-kind commercial flagship plant for lignocellulosic fe…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €24.7M toward a total project budget of €34.9M — a funding rate of 71%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2017-06-01 to 2023-05-31.
