PuriFire Energy focuses on advanced decontamination, fractionation and thermochemical conversion processes that upcycle contaminated waste wood into higher-value products. Within the EU-backed WoodVALOR initiative, the company will produce phenolic monomers from decontaminated lignin through hydrothermal liquefaction and generate biochar via hydrothermal carbonisation. These outputs target applications such as bio-acrylates for water-based wall paints, soil-remediation biochar and carbon-sequestration trials. Participation in the 11-partner, six-country consortium is expected to accelerate PuriFire’s technology validation and expand its intellectual-property portfolio. The work aligns the firm with growing regulatory and customer demand for decarbonisation, waste reduction and bio-based materials. Although revenue impact is medium- to long-term and dependent on commercial scale-up, the project positions PuriFire within emerging value chains for sustainable coatings, bio-based chemicals and carbon-negative solutions.
