High-performance syngas upgrading into medium-chain carboxylates in high mass transfer gas-phase bioreactors with in situ product extraction (Syn2Value)

The project aims at engineering and validate a novel integrative biorefinery platform capable of converting lignocellulosic waste-derived syngas (H2:CO:CO2) into value-added liquid fuels and medium-chain carboxylates (MCC).

Marketable high performance compact technologies for the abatement of VOCs in EU waste treatment plants, decreasing CO2 emissions and energy consumption (LIFE ABATE)

The project aims to reduce volatile organic compounds and odours emissions, energy requirements and exploitation costs in mechanical biological waste treatment plants. The solution will be replicated in 2 waste treatment plants in the EU.

Phytoplankton towards valorization of ammonia-containing liquid for upgraded economy (PhyToVALUE)

This project aims to develop a novel method to detect algal ammonia inhibition by fluorescence monitoring. This will enable direct feeding of undiluted ammonia-containing wastewaters in photosynthetic bioreactors for wastewater valorisation, without causing any inhibition in the bioprocess.

Biological upgrading of brewer spent grain into high added value products (BIOBREW)

BiOBreW will design novel recombinant enzymes that will allow obtaining high yields of ferulic acid and p-coumaric acid from brewer’s spent grain, a byproduct from breweries. Moreover, it will develop innovative nano-encapsulation using nanocarriers, composed of biocompatible and biodegradable polymers, for these compounds.

Producing novel non-plant biomass feedstocks and bio-based products through upcycling and the cascading use of brewery side-streams (CHEERS)

CHEERS is a new biorefinery concept, inspired on nature biodiversity (insect and microbial platforms), to sustainably and efficiently upgrade underused or waste side-streams such as bagasse, wastewater, CO2 and CH4 from bio-based industries into innovative biobased products. CHEERS concept will be validated at demo-scale at an industrial brewery.
