Webinar Synergies of renewable hydrogen and biobased value chains: case studies
Biorefinery processes can have a main role in the energy transition to a 100% green industry. Producing biobased hydrogen could be an alternative option for renewable hydrogen provision. Moreover, there are many biobased processes either high in demand for renewable hydrogen (e.g. synthetic renewable fuels, biorefining) or that could benefit from renewable hydrogen integration. This […]
