Research by Wageningen University and Research Centre

The Wageningen University, Chair of Valorisation of Plant Production Chains (WU-VPP) is a multidisciplinary research group within the Agrotechnology and Food Science Group (AFSG) performing scientific and applied research aiming at the development of economically and environmentally sound (bio)chemical, enzymatic and biological conversion and fermentation processes. These processes are based on plant raw materials and should substitute fossil resources of bulk chemicals. Key components of the research are the definition of measures to reduce industrial energy consumption on a global scale, to fully exploit available and as yet uncovered cheap resources of agricultural (waste) streams, and to decrease CO2 emissions and pollution.
