SWEETWOODS

Nine European companies have joined forces in the SWEETWOODS flagship project to change the way we perceive wood industry and to reduce global dependence on fossil energy sources. With the SWEETWOODS project, we are establishing a first-of-a-kind wood fractionation demo plant in Estonia that uses sustainable hardwood biomass as raw input material. We aim to demonstrate for the first time, on an industrial scale, how novel pre-treatment technology in combination with innovative enzymatic solutions will provide sugar recovery levels of over 90% and exceptionally high-quality lignin. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 792061
