Borregaard Receives R&D Funding for Biorefining Projects

摘要

Norwegian biorefining firm Borregaard announced January 15 it received a NOK$12.4 million (US$2 million) grant from Innovation Norway. The funds will be used over three years in the field of innovation projects on products derived from biomass. “The support is recognition of the research effort Borregaard puts into this, as well as the products’ importance today and in the future. All of the research projects have an environmental and sustainable upside in that the end products are bio-based and in many cases replace petroleum-based alternatives, while at the same time do not compete with food production,” said Borregaard President and CEO Per A. S?rlie in a statement issued by the company.
