Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant (BBEPP), a Belgian-based facility that provides process development, scale-up and custom manufacture of bio-based products and processes, has formed a 50:50 joint venture with Thailand’s National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) to build a multi-purpose, open-access biorefinery pilot plant, inspired by its own success in installing an identical facility in Ghent.
