On 22 and 23 February 2017, several partners of the BIOrescue project met at Monaghan’s premises to better understand the different steps of the mushroom production process and determine precise and consistent criteria for the evaluation of the biorefinery concept to be created within the project.

Within the project, the economic, social and environmental impact of the novel biorefinery and of the whole new sustainable mushroom farm integrating such a biorefinery will be assessed in order to ensure the robustness and the viability of the concept. The result of this evaluation will be presented to potential end-users to foster Europe-wide replication of the BIOrescue process.
