LIBERATE aims to realize the first pilot scale plant for the so-called 'lignin-first' approach, a novel route produce not only cellulose, but also an aromatic oil directly from woody biomass. These fractions can serve as a feedstock for many fuels and chemicals and will be evaluated by interested third parties. Parallel to these R&D activities, andepth techno-economic and sustainability assessment will be made.
