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.
