Does the facility contribute to the Dutch economy?
The emerging international bio-based economy presents major economic opportunities for the Netherlands. Based on its expertise and geographical location, the Netherlands is well positioned in establishing a large chain of biomass, biofuels and biogas streams. In doing so, it would serve as an international gateway for the European bio-based market. Recognising the pivotal role the Bioprocess Pilot Facilityplays in this development, the project has received generous financial support from the Dutch government as well as from Europe. It is expected that the facility will also generate new companies (spin-offs) by turning smart ideas into commercial products and processes.
