BioRaffSugarBeet — From the Sugar Factory to Biorefinery
Intention: In the present project, the material utilization of sugar beet is to be developed in an integrated biorefinery by stepwise process modification of the traditional sugar extraction towards a complete utilization of the whole plant. For this purpose, processes should be established that transform the residual and waste material flows of valuable materials accumulated during the traditional sugar extraction. Starting from the traditional sugar production based on sugar beets, concepts should be developed to produce sugar substrates for an efficient biorefinery based on the sugar beet’s whole plant.
