BIO2G Technology for 2G biofuel and biosolvents production verified in a pilot plant

Coordinator: HOLIG GROUP AS (SK)

The project shall provide unique BIO2G biorefinery technology for production of the 2nd generation environmental-friendly biofuel (biobutanol) and biosolvents (bioacetone, bioethanol) from lignocellulose raw materials. The technology is innovative combination of two existing technologies, where the first is pre-treatment of biomass with follow-up production of sugars and second one is ABE technology, for production of biobutanol, bioacetone and bioethanol, where raw materials are C5 and C6 sugars. The BIO2G process is the result of research of the Consortium and verified on a laboratory proto…

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 €50k toward a total project budget of €71k — a funding rate of 70%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 0.5 years from 2019-02-01 to 2019-07-31.
