Borregaard operates one of the world’s most advanced biorefineries. Using natural, renewable raw materials and certified wood, the company produces advanced and environmentally friendly biochemicals that can replace
oil-based products.

Within SFI-IB Borregaard’s main interest is biocatalytic tools for processing of lignocellulose. There is a need for an improved national platform for industrial production of recombinant proteins, including a filamentous fungus platform, and associated protocols for fermentation and Down-stream processing.

These are all activities supported by SFI-IB and the synergies between Borregaard and several of the other partners will be beneficial.

Borregaard is an industry partner in the project.
