The Latvian State Institute of Wood Chemistry announce an auction for the rights to use technology developed in the institute that allows an efficient and ecological way to produce both furfural and glucose-containing solution from wood for further use.

 

In the framework of the European Regional Development Fund Programme “Growth and employment” 1.2.1 of the specific support objective “To increase investments of the private sector in R&D” of the operational programme 1.2.1.2 “Support for Improvement of the Technology Transfer System”, the scientists of the Latvian State Institute of Wood Chemistry during the commercialisation project No. KC-PI-2020/55 have developed the know-how for the technology that allows an efficient and ecological way to produce both furfural and glucose-containing solution for further use from deciduous woodchips and are currently offering to purchase a license for the use of this technology.

Object of commercialization: The right to use an efficient and ecological technology for furfural and glucose solution production, resulting from the know-how of “Effective and ecological glucose solution extraction technology”.

The technology was developed in the Biorefinery laboratory of the Latvian State Institute of Wood Chemistry.

Information for interested parties: Any interested party is invited to participate in the auction by making an offer for the purchase of technology. The winner of the auction will be recognized as the auction participant whose price of the auctioned object will be the highest. Detailed information about the auction object is available below. The auction procedure and the application form will be provided after request.
