Star-COLIBRI project: biorefinery clustering

Star-COLIBRI results

  Mapping of biorefinery research projects in Europe

This report presents the results of our mapping of ongoing biorefinery related projects in Europe, which you will be able to find in our Biorefinery portal at: www.star-colibri.net. A total of 307 projects were found throughout Europe, ranging from basic research to large demonstration projects. 

 Biorefinery portal user's guide

This document will help you navigate through our Biorefinery Portal (www.star-colibri.net) and make full use of its functionalities. The Biorefinery Portal will provide you with everything you need to know about biorefinery research in Europe, ranging from stakeholders to research projects and cooperation opportunities.

 Biorefinery R&D outside Europe

This report is the result of our information collection about ongoing R&D initiatives outside of Europe. The report will provides an outlook on biorefinery research in the USA, Canada, Australia, China, India and South America. The results will be used for benchmarking or to indicate new opportunities.

 Industrial biorefineries in Europe

The report lists and gathers information about current industrial biorefineries throughout Europe. It provides a list of commercial biorefineries, defines different types of biorefineries and presents some examples of leading biorefineries in Europe.

 Success criteria for Star projects, Comet projects and Star clusters

In order to optimise the quality of the biorefinery clusters that we will help create, Star-COLIBRI established some quantitative and qualitative success criteria for the projects which will take part in the future collaborations. Overall, the selected projects will be major players in tomorrow's biorefining sector in Europe, boosting innovations in the field and paving the way from research to market.

 Identifying Star projects

Star-COLIBRI presents the first potential Star project candidates, based on an analysis according to the previously defined selection criteria. These major R&D projects and programmes will be the cornerstones of the future biorefinery clusters that Star-COLIBRI will help establish.
