Summary:
A German innovative biotech SME has developed five new poplar tree varieties showing enhanced growth and up to 100% increase in biomass production. This allows faster wood production on short rotation coppices (SRC) suitable for energy production as well as generation of lignocellulosic mono-sugars for use in fermentation and biotech processes. They look for business partners from mentioned fields for financial/joint venture agreements to fully exploit the potential of these tree varieties.
Description:
Energy production from renewable resources are expected to take over the main burden of Germany's domestic energy supply as early as the middle of this century. This means that energy from biomass will also be of significant importance for the energy supply of the future and for achieving the climate targets.
Biomass can consist of different biological materials.
A German innovative biotech SME offers cuttings from new poplars varieties particularly suited for growth in short rotation plantations due to their growth rate and fast biomass generation.
They look for business partners from bioenergy, biotechnology and agriculture & forestry for financial/joint venture agreements to fully exploit the potential of these tree varieties.
The partner sought would be interested to use their varieties for short rotation croppice or to use poplar pulp as a renewable resource, e.g. in biorefineries or for bioenergy purposes.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
They are looking for business partners for exploitation of the market potential of new poplar varieties as renewable resources for energy production in short rotation coppices.
This partner could for example be a tree nursery, that already has an extensive sales network or an institution, that is interested in direct production and use of poplar wood products.
Financial agreement could consist e.g. of licensing of variety for sale and propagation. Regarding joint venture agreement a joint production and sale of poplar wood products could be envisaged.
