The Dutch Network on Biorefinery (Biorefinery.nl) is a joint initiative of the Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) and Wageningen University and Research Centre (WUR). It is meant to inform industry, research institutes, universities, NGOs, governments and the general public about research activities, new developments and projects. With the feedback of these groups Biorefinery.nl also concentrates on establishing a global biorefinery vision and the formulation of a Technological Roadmap (including a Strategic Research Agenda) for research, development, demonstration and deployment of biorefinery processes. In this report the results of 2006, the 1st year of the Network, are reported. During this year the founders of the network, ECN and WUR, obtained financial support from SenterNovem. The Network will be continued in 2007, and will then be used for the set-up of a National Technology Roadmap Biorefinery (TRB) within an European global framework.
