THE FIRST SOLANDER Symposium on biorefinery research was held in the northern Swedish city of Pitea in late March.The symposium is named after famed Swedish botanist Daniel Solander who sailed on Captain James Cook's epic around the world voyage in 1768.Taking advantage of an issue that is high on the industry's agenda now,delegates also heard about the development of the Solander Science Park,which is a pulp mill/biorefinery cluster being set up in the area.Among the members are Smurfit Kappa,SCA,Sun Pine,Chemrec and the Lulea University of Technology.
