Liberate Project
Design of an electrochemical plant to demonstrate the commercial opportunities of converting low cost lignin feedstock in high value biosustainable chemicals such as vanillin, antioxidants or polyamide.
Liberate Project
Design of an electrochemical plant to demonstrate the commercial opportunities of converting low cost lignin feedstock in high value biosustainable chemicals such as vanillin, antioxidants or polyamide.
The idea is to convert lignin (low cost material) in different chemicals (high value and biosustainable) by means electricity in an electrochemical reactor.

Researchers at Mainz University develop a sustainable method for extracting vanillin from wood processing waste
Electrolytic depolymerization of lignin in caustic soda could replace the existing environmentally harmful process for producing the most widely used flavoring and aroma agent in the world...
What is lignin and where does it come from?
Lignin is one of the main components of trees or plants, jointly with the cellulose and the hemicellulose. Constituting around 30% of the dry mass of wood, lignin give trees their rigidity but also...
18M meeting held online for the first time!
On the 11th and 12th of March, the Liberate consortium met virtually through visio-conference due to the lock down restrictions. During the meeting, partners could exchange recent advances in the...
