Xylina has strong research collaborations with leading research institutions on plant biotechnology in Europe, and in particular with the CSIC, the major public R+D institution in Spain, in purpose of developing new non-food industrial crops entirely dedicated to the Bioenergy industrial sector.
We create and develop new varieties of E. lathyris with a significant contribution of the biomass and feedstock value chain satisfying the bioenergy customer´s need for quality, quantity and high content of energy carriers. We try to combine these characters with high yield and environmental friendly cultivation and processing of the plant and the raw materials, respectively.
Our goal is to make E. lathyris, and its derived industrial bioproducts, pivotal players for the development of Renewable Energies and Biofuel-related industries as major player implementing the Bioeconomy sector in developing countries.
