Solvent-Based Biorefinery & Valorization group (SBV-Group)

We aim to drive the transition toward a carbon-neutral and resource-efficient society by rethinking how biomass and waste streams are processed, converted, and utilized. Our envision biorefineries relies on safe, green solvents and deliver sustainable materials without compromising performance or scalability.

Our research group focuses on green-solvent-based biorefineries and the valorization of biomass and industrial side-streams. Our work spans the design of deep eutectic systems and other eco-friendly solvents, fundamental studies of solvent–biomass interactions, and the development of scalable pathways for producing high-value bioproducts. Bridging chemistry, materials science, and process engineering, we aim to unlock the full potential of renewable resources while promoting circularity and low-impact manufacturing. Our research contributes to cleaner production methods, novel biobased materials, and innovative waste-to-value solutions.
