Abstract

Catalysis for Sustainable Chemicals from Biomass (CatchBio) is a research program of eight years which aims to develop clean and efficient processes for biomass conversion into low-cost and sustainable biofuels, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The total budget of the programme is approximately 29 million euro and 22 partners are taking part. Among these partners are most of the Dutch universities, research institutes and industries operating in the field of catalysis research. Industrial key players are involved but also more specialized SMEs take part in the consortium.
