In the Netherlands, DSM and Natuurmonumenten (Society for the Preservation of Nature in the Netherlands) are together looking for a partner who is willing to use the biomass generated from the nature-reserve maintenance activities of Natuurmonumenten as a raw material in the production of, for example, renewable fuels and bio-based materials. The signing of the agreement today marks the start of the project, in which, DSM will become the corporate partner of Natuurmonumenten for a period of three years. The nature-reserve maintenance activities of Natuurmonumenten annually yield 175,000 tons of biomass in the form of reeds, straw, grass and wood residues.
