3to4: Converting C3 to C4 photosynthesis for sustainable agriculture (3TO4)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,
Most plants use the C3 pathway of photosynthesis that is compromised by gross inefficiencies in CO2 fixation. However, some plants use a super-charged photosynthetic mechanism called C4 photosynthesis. The C4 pathway is used by the most productive vegetation and crops on Earth. In addition to faster photosynthesis, C4 plants demand less water and less nitrogen. Overall, our aim is to introduce the ...

Eco-friendly biorefinery fine chemicals from CO2 photo-catalytic reduction (ECO2CO2)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2012, Date de fin: 31 mai 2016,
The Eco2CO2 project aims at exploiting a photo-electro-chemical (PEC) CO2 conversion route for the synthesis of methanol as a key intermediate for the production of fine chemicals (fragrances, flavourings, adhesives, monomers,…) in a lignocellulosic biorefinery. A distinct improvement in the ecological footprint of the envisaged chemical industries will thus be achieved by: i) boosting the potenti ...

Direct biological conversion of solar energy to volatile hydrocarbon fuels by engineered cyanobacteria (DIRECTFUEL)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2010, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2014,
"The objective of the DirectFuel project is to develop photosynthetic microorganisms that catalyze direct conversion of solar energy and carbon dioxide to engine-ready fuels. A key process target of the proposal is 'direct' in the sense that fuel production should not require destructive extraction and further chemical conversion to generate directly useable transport fuels. To further increase ou ...

Second generation BIOethanol process: demonstration scale for the step of Lignocellulosic hYdrolysis and FErmentation (BIOLYFE)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,
The overall goal of BIOLYFE PROJECT is to developing and demonstrating the hydrolysis and fermentation steps at industrial scale of the lignocellulosic bioethanol process, considering the entire chain (i.e. including at the same scale the up-stream and downstream process, namely innovative pre-treatment steps and product separation/utilization). BIOLYFE specifically seeks technologies which have t ...

Combining Process Intensification-driven Manufacture of Microstructured Reactors and Process Design regarding to Industrial Dimensions and Environment (COPIRIDE)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2009, Date de fin: 31 août 2013,
The ultimate ambition of COPIRIDE is to develop a new modular production and factory concept for the chemical industry using adaptable plants with flexible output. This concept will be superior, intellectual property (IP) protected, and enable a much wider spread of know-how and education of this skill-intensive technology. Key functional enabling units are new production-scale, mass-manufactured ...

Novel high-performance enzymes and micro-organisms for conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to bioethanol (NEMO)
Date du début: 1 mai 2009, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2013,
The NEMO project provides novel efficient enzymes and microbes for 2nd generation bioethanol production. It generates through metabolic engineering and mutagenesis & screening approaches robust yeast strains that have a broad substrate range and can (co-)ferment C6 and C5 sugars to ethanol with high productivity (rate and yield), and that are significantly more stress tolerant, i.e. inhibitor, eth ...

Development of a flexible and energy-efficient pressurised microwave heating process to produce 3D-shaped renewable bio-polymer foams for a novel generation of transportation packaging (REBIOFOAM)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2009, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2013,
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), Polyurethane (EPU), Polyethylene (EPE) and Polypropylene (EPP) represent the most popular moulded cushion packaging materials applied for transport packaging applications. However, despite of their functionality, the widespread use of these polymer foams of synthetic origin implies considerable environmental concerns. The depletion of non-renewable fossil raw material r ...
