Dialogue field 2: Novel ways in bio-refining of wood

The word "bio-refinery" stands for the industrial breakdown and cascaded use of wood. The goal of NRP 66 is to make significant progress in the production of "green" chemicals and fuels as well as wood energy and to enable more efficient processing of waste and used wood.
