Integrated lignocellulosic biorefinery with CO₂ valorization for the production of value-added products in a circular bioeconomy (LIBRA-C)

The LIBRA-C project develops an integrated lignocellulosic biorefinery that converts agricultural residues into biofuels, bio-based chemicals, and biomass, valorising CO₂ and effluents, generating electricity, and producing high-value biocommodities to support zero-waste, climate-neutral, sustainable biorefineries.
