Lignin is a renewable and underutilised feedstock, that holds great potential. TECNALIA has developed a process to make lignin-based polyols through a novel process.
In LIGNICOAT BBI Project ARDITEC conducted an LCA which has shown promising results. Better environmental performance than fossil-based polyols, is achieved with the use of biobased solvents and renewable energy production.
