All Projects

BioSFerA
  • 2G biomass, CO, CO2, Fermentation, Finished projects, Food, Forestry waste, Fuels, Gas fermentation, Gasses, H2, H2020-RIA, Jet fuel, Marine fuel, Mobile unit, Partner, Process development (TRL 4-5), Product recovery and purification, Scale-up (TRL 4-6), Syngas, Triacylglycerides

BioSFerA aims to develop a cost-effective interdisciplinary technology to produce sustainable aviation and maritime fuels. Thus, biogenic residues and wastes will be gasified and the syngas will be fermented to produce bio-based triacylglycerides (TAGs).

Falcon
  • 2G biomass, Biomass pretreatment, Biorefinery, Bulk chemicals, Chemical building blocks, Enzymatic conversion, Finished projects, Forestry sidestreams, Fuel additives, Fuels, H2020-RIA, Lignin biomass, Lignin-based fuel, Marine fuel, Process development (TRL 4-5), Scale-up (TRL 4-6), WP leader

Falcon: Fuel And chemicals from Lignin through enzymatic and chemical CONversion.
FALCON aims to convert this lignin-rich industrial waste of 2G biofuel plants to higher value products, in particular shipping fuels, fuel additives and chemical building blocks. This would be the next consecutive step in turning waste to products, thus minimizing waste and simultaneously providing new alternatives for fossil resource based processes.
