CH-Bioforce: An industrial-size biomass processing plant
CH-Bioforce’s technology extracts cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin from biomass in a single process, producing pure biomaterials for sustainable chemical, textile and packaging applications. The company plans to build an industrial-scale biomass processing plant.

About the project
As opposed to the 50% or even less of biomass usage in traditional cellulose plants, CH-Bioforce technology can fractionate 95% of the biomass components. Their technology can utilise almost any biomass, which means that it is not tied to any particular biomass type. For example, agricultural straw could be fractionated with CH-Bioforce's solution to dissolve cellulose, polymeric hemicellulose and sulphur-free lignin. The company is looking into scaling up their operations by building an industrial-sized biorefinery plant, which will be the only one in Finland to be able to produce polymeric hemicellulose at this scale.
Impact of the project:
New sustainable feedstock alternatives for example for chemical, textile and packaging applications.
Funding instrument European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator
Spinverse’s role
CH-Bioforce secured their success in the EICA application process with support from Spinverse funding experts. Spinverse supported the company in the project proposal process by providing the quality check and pitching coaching.
The decision on the equity granted by the European Innovation Council is very important to us and it helps us get other investors involved in financing the project. Spinverse helped us a lot during the application process. Their guidance and support were really needed — thank you Spinverse..

About the project
The LIFE Lit4Nature aims to establish a stronger, evidence-based system for biodiversity conservation and restoration across Lithuania. Major focus will be placed on strengthening the national biodiversity monitoring system, improving data collection and integration and on introducing innovative monitoring approaches to support evidence-based conservation and restoration decisions.
Impact of the project:
The project aims to boost stronger biodiversity and ecosystem recovery across Lithuania through nationwide conservation and restoration. Further, it wants to achieve better national coordination for efficient and well targeted conservation measures and their funding.
Funding instrument LIFE Programme
Spinverse’s role
Spinverse experts supported the coordinator throughout the two-stage LIFE Strategic Nature Project application process from concept note development to submitting the final proposal.
The support included workshops that brought together the proposal team to sharpen the project concept and focus the application on the most relevant and critical aspects of Lithuania's
Prioritised Action Framework for Natura 2000 and the forthcoming National Restoration Plan.
Spinverse’s strategic guidance, hands-on support and thorough quality reviews helped us focus on the critical aspects, strengthen the proposal logic and present its impacts convincingly. Their LIFE expertise gave our team confidence and contributed significantly to the proposal’s high quality and successful funding outcome.”
