Pilotplant
In the first quarter of 2023, we will complete the construction of a pilot plant at the Technology Base in Enschede. See https://www.technologybase.nl/ This pilot plant will be placed in a former shelter for fighter planes and convert about 5 kg of biomass into biokerosene and biodiesel using a completely new process. We are looking for technicians who will work with us to further develop the process.
