Fuel and chemicals from lignin through enzymatic and chemical conversion (FALCON)
Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,
The transition to a biobased economy puts strong challenges on researchers and industry to develop sustainable processes. 2G biofuel plants use waste streams as substrates, but themselves generate a new waste stream of lignin-rich sludge that is left after saccharification of the carbohydrates. This waste stream is expected to exponentially increase with an increasing number of 2G bioethanol plant ...

NanoMaterials Enhanced Membranes for Carbon Capture (NanoMEMC2)
Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2019,
Membrane separation processes can be applied to many capture processes from Pre-Combustion ( CO2-H2 / CO2-CH4 separation) to Post-Combustion (CO2-N2) and Oxyfuel (O2-N2) and are generally endowed with high flexibility and potentially low operative costs with respect to other capture methods. However the current materials are still lacking of separation performance and durability suitable for an ef ...

Optimized esterase biocatalysts for cost-effective industrial production (OPTIBIOCAT)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2017,
"OPTIBIOCAT is a 48 months project aimed at developing biocatalysts based on feruloyl esterases (FAEs) and glucuronoyl esterases (GEs) for production of phenolic fatty- and sugar- esters with antioxidant activity for cosmetic industry, expanding the number/type of industrial biotransformations. Selected FAEs and GEs available within the consortium will be improved for their thermo- and solvent- re ...

INnovaTive Enzymes and polyionic-liquids based membRAnes as CO2 Capture Technology (INTERACT)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,
A major task addressed in the Strategic Energy Technology Plan of the EU is the sustainable power generation from fossil fuels. A crucial step here is the separation of CO2 from flue gas. INTERACT investigates the scientific and technological basis of radically innovative materials and processes. Strong improvement of the energy penalty of the capture process below 5 % points and reduction of the ...
