ChemistryNL funds 11 Biobased Economy projects

ChemistryNL provides financial support to 11 research projects at the intersection of biobased and chemistry. A total of one million euros will be allocated for these projects, which are carried out by consortia of knowledge institutions and companies.

Since the merger* with TKI BBE, ChemistryNL has been working on the integration of the biobased economy field in various ways. The support of these innovation projects is part of this. The projects are working on, for example, the development of components for self-healing sustainable coatings, anti-fungal infection agents from organic residual flows, natural UV blockers, sustainable resins for cast floors and new technologies for the production of lactic acid and PHAs from residual flows.
