The BIT3G project is one of the four strategic R&D project included within National Technology Cluster of the Green Chemical for the technologies development of biomass processing into biochemicals and energy. Novamont has the project coordination.

Main purpose is the development of a biorefinery of third generation integrated at local level. The biorefinery will have to be respectful of the local biodiversity. Starting from sustainable farming methods it showed low impact systems in order to obtain Bio-based chemicals with high added value.

In particular, it will be studied the agro-industry chains of oil crops for dry land farming aimed at optimizing the use of natural resources through both specific studies on conversion processes and the exploitation of by-products derived from agriculture and industrial processes.

AgriNewTech is involved in the agronomical valorization of byproducts from the biorefinery. The project duration is 3 years, starting from 1/1/2014.

Project partners are: Novamont S.p.A., the coordinator; Centro di Ricerca per le Colture Industriali (CRA CIN); Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche – CNR; Consiglio per la Ricerca e la sperimentazione in Agricoltura (CRA); Enea (Centro di Ricerca Trisaia); Filarete servizi Srl; Matrìca; Università degli Studi di Perugia.
