New research platform paves way for future bio-based society -

The Danish National Advanced Tecnology Foundation is donating 112 million Danish kroner for a new platform which brings together Denmark’s leading players within the sustainable use of biomass – the University of Copenhagen, DTU, A.P. Møller Mærsk, Novozymes, Haldor Topsøe, Man Diesel & Turbo and Dong Energy.

The platform will provide a framework for the parties’ joint research aimed at developing specific sustainable solutions for the production of building blocks for chemicals and bio-based fuels for the global shipping industry. The platform will be headed by Professor Claus Felby from the University of Copenhagen.
