Call, activity

Operational Programme “Growth and employment”, Specific support objective 1.2.1. “To increase the private sector investment in R&D”, Activity 1.2.1.2 “Support for the development of the technology transfer system”, round 3, stage 1

Project goal

Stage 1: to develop a technical-economic feasibility study and a commercialization strategy for the development of the glucose solution and furfural production technology up to TRL6 and its commercialization.

Stage 2: to commercialize the biomass conversion technology that allows producing glucose solution and furfural for further processing.

 

Main activities of the project:

Stage 1:

  • Technical-economic feasibility study and development of the commercialization strategy.

Stage 2:

  • Development of the technology to reduce/eliminate the identified challenges and improve the product’s characteristics for market needs.
  • Development of an experimental demonstration prototype and its testing for use in conditions close to the real environment.
  • Contacts with industry representatives for demonstrating the technology and getting feedback.
  • Adaptation of the prototype to market requirements.
  • Strengthening of property rights and sale of a licence.
