BTG receives certificate from Minister Verburg (LNV)

29-6-2009

On June 11, BTG received a certificate for the project “Groene Grondstoffen uit Bio-olie” from Gerda Verburg, the Dutch Minister for Agriculture, Nature and Food-quality. This certificate was awarded for the work BTG performed on the production of green chemicals and half-products derived from pyrolysis-oil. In this project, both the economic and technical feasibility concerning the production of several ‘green’ products was evaluated. Based on the positive results from this project, development work will be continued by BTG.

During the ceremonial event, Minister Verburg praised the attendees for their pioneering work in creating the green economy: Quote (Dutch):

“Dames en heren,
In deze zaal zit een groot aantal helden van de groene economie. Pioniers van het eerste uur. U mag daar trots op zijn. Ik ben dat ook. Zonder u als pioniers kwam er natuurlijk niets van al deze ontwikkelingen terecht.”
