Description

The Bioeconomy Research Infrastructure contains the selected research infrastructures at the School of Chemical Engineering for development of chemicals, fuels, and other materials from renewable biomass utilizing biotechnical, chemical, thermal, and catalytic processing technologies. Various refining processes are also used to develop biopolymers and fibre and composite products.

The Bioeconomy Research Infrastructure is jointly operated by Aalto University and Technical Research Centre of Finland VTT, and is on the national research infrastructure roadmap 2021-2024.
