Report of the 1st NRP 66-Workshop on wood-based bio-refineries in Switzerland
Are wood-based bio-refineries the way forward for Switzerland? If yes, what type of wood should be used in which regions and what products should be aimed at? And if implemented, which technical, political, economic and fiscal adjustments would be necessary? These are some of the questions explored by three dozen experts from research, industry and public offices on 10 December 2015.
