WoodLi
Development of bio-adhesives based in lignia for wood composite panels
WoodLi project focuses on the development of bioadhesives for use in the manufacture of wood-based panels used, among others, in the construction sector. The bioadhesive of the WoodLi project will differ from commercial adhesives in that it will be of renewable origin and will not present toxicity problems associated with the emission of volatiles such as the formaldehyde. To achieve this goal, the majority fraction of the bioadhesive will be lignin or lignin derivatives, and formaldehyde will be replaced by other non-toxic and non-volatile compounds.
Objectives
- Establishment of a lignin extraction and purification protocol that takes into account the efficiency and reduction of the environmental impact of the process.
- Obtaining purified lignin of equal or superior performance to commercial lignins.
- Development of a experimental protocol for transforming ligning into intermediate products with the appropiate characteristics and functionalities for its application in bioadhesives.
- Substitution of environmentally unfriendly and/or toxic to humand health compounds present in commercial adhesives with lignin derivatives and non-toxic compounds.
- Development of new laboratory-scale, lignin-based bioadhesive formulations for use in the manufacture of wood-based panels and construction materials.
Actions
- Analysis of wood lignin extraction and purification methods and lignin specifications for use in the formulation of bioadhesives.
- Analysis of wood lignin extraction and purification methods and lignin specifications for use in the formulation of bioadhesives.
- Development of experimental techniques for the extraction and purification of lignin for use in bioadhesives. Characterisation of lignin.
- Chemical modification of lignin to increase its reactivity in the formulation of bioadhesives.
- Laboratory-scale development of new formulations of lignin-based bioadhesives.
- Collaboration in the development of a pilot-scale process for obtaining bioadhesives from lignin.
Expected Results
- Obtaining a bioadhesive which majoritary fraction is ligning or derivatives from lignin.
- Bioadhesive will not contain toxic compounds traditionally present in commercial adhesives.
- Bioadhesive quality will be the appropiate for tis use in manufacture of wood composite panels.
R&D Line
- Development of bio-based materials with application in polymers, adhesives and coatings with special propperties.

Networking
Biotechnology projects:
CO2SMOS
CO2SMOS project propose an innovative solution to develop new technologies based on processes for the conversion of biogenic CO2 and renewable raw materials into high value-added (bio)chemical products for chemistry sector and bio-based industries.
Renewable hydrogen and natural gas production and storage
The project focuses on the development of an integrated process for the production of green hydrogen and hydrogen carrier molecules (energy carriers) for use as renewable fuels to replace current fossil fuels.
H2METAMO
H2METAMO focuses on the development of compact and efficient plants for the generation of hydrogen carrier molecules. It has two main lines: one to generate methane and one to produce ammonia.
VALOMASK
VALOMASK project aims at the design and development of sustainable management of single use face masks in the context of the COVID-19 outbreak. The initiative arise due to the exponential increase in medical waste generated during the pandemic.
FRONTSH1P
Frontsh1p will contribute to further the green transition in the Polish region of Lódzkie. A region that on the one hand, traditionally heavily relies on coal extraction, and on the other hand, has pioneered circular (bio)economy since the early 2000s. The region has always been in the forefront of innovation and has become one of the leading regions in the field of circular economy.
CATCO2NVERS
Reduce GHG emissions from the Bio-Based Industries by developing 5 innovative and integrated technologies based on 3catalytic processes. It will transform waste CO2 from 2 bio-based industries into 5 added-value chemicals: glyoxylic acid, lactic acid, furan dicarboxylic methyl ester…
DELOREAN
DELOREAN aims to obtain new raw materials from the treatment of waste generated in a critical sector in the región, the automotive industry. The three wastes investigated (tires, lubricating oils and polypropylene) are generated in high quantities and their polluting nature makes it necessary to develop new ways for their management and use.
BioSFerA
BioSFerA aims to develop a cost-effective interdisciplinary technology to produce sustainable aviation and maritime fuels. The overall process, combining thermochemical, biological and thermocatalytic parts is based on the gasification of biomass and other biogenic waste and the 2-stage fermentation of the produced syngas.
LIFE LANDFILL BIOFUEL
The aim of LIFE LANDFILL BIOFUEL is to demonstrate the technical performance of a cost effective solution based on the implementation of new exploitation techniques of the waste cells to enhance the biogas production
BIOMOTIVE
The BIOMOTIVE project aims to demonstrate the production of new high-performance biomaterials (thermoplastic polyurethane, foams and fibres) for the automotive sector, with the objective of revolutionising the market.
ZEOCAT-3D
The ZEOCAT-3D project addresses the conversion of methane, from natural gas and biogas, into aromatic hydrocarbons of high added value and easily transportable
REPLACE
REPLACE aims at developing new methodologies to try to solve a critical environmental problem, the destruction of plastic wastes proceeding from petroleum.
LIFE BIOMASS C+
LIFE Biomass C+ aims to demonstrate improvements in climate mitigation strategies through the production of sustainable biofuel.
AQUAMUNDAM
AQUAMUNDAM pursues an improvement in the sustainable management of the integral water cycle, for this the development and demonstration of both methodologies and a modular information system that facilitates inter-administrative communication and of different agents with competence in the integral management of water is contemplated
REHAP
REHAP aims to strengthen the European bio-economy industry by creating novel materials from agricultural and forestry waste, and considering how they can be used commercially in the green building sector.
VALOR-PLUS
The VALOR-PLUS supports the realisation of sustainable, economically viable closed loop integrated biorefineries through the development of new knowledge, (bio-)technologies and products that enable valorisation of key biorefinery by-products.
BIOREFINERÍA FT
The FT BIOREFINERY Project consists in developing a technology that allows obtaining 2nd generation liquid biofuels (synthetic diesel) and electrical energy, through the application of gasification and co-gasification processes, of different types of solid and / or liquid waste ( herbaceous biomass, lignocellulosic, glycerin, etc.)
BIORECOS
The BIORECOS Project aims to design and build a demonstration plant of a modular nature that allows, through pyrolysis, the production of charcoal and / or active coal, as well as the generation of electrical energy.
