🌿 Empowering the Bioeconomy for a Sustainable Future! 🌍 The Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) and ERRIN the European Regions Research & Innovation Network have released a position paper outlining key actions for advancing the European bioeconomy. To ensure bioeconomy thrives in the regions and boosts EU competitiveness, BIC and ERRIN urge the EU to: ✅ Recognise bioeconomy's role in EU policies ✅ Scale up bio-based innovations ✅ Engage local authorities and industrial ecosystems ✅ Foster public-private collaboration ✅ Secure sustainable biomass for biomanufacturing 🔗 Read the full position paper here https://lnkd.in/d3fGMwFv AIMPLAS · Technological Institute of Plastics Paques Biomaterials Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant University College Dublin Celignis Biomass Lab Novamont Process Design Center Hellenic Biomass Association (HellaBiom) ETAM S.A.

🌿 Meet the ALGAESOL Team! 🌿 The Universitat de Girona (UdG) is a Spanish public institution committed to excellence in teaching and research. Through LEQUIA, its Laboratory of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, UdG brings extensive expertise in developing bioelectrochemical systems for converting CO2 into valuable chemicals and biofuels. As part of the ALGAESOL EU project, UdG will lead the development of a light harvesting photoanode coupled with bioelectrochemical cathode for microalgae lipid production (P-BE-MA). ↪️ This system will enable lipids production from CO2 capture, extending microalgae growth beyond the limitations of sunlight hours. 🧪 Increased microalgae growth leads to higher lipid production, which will be later processed into sustainable aviation (#SAF) and shipping fuels!

"At BIC we look how to defossilise the material and chemical sector in Europe" says BIC's Marco Rupp in this Agro & Chemistry blog about the similarities between the "hydrogen hype" and the "bio-based buzz" when it comes to exciting potential and opportunities for Europe's green transition https://lnkd.in/eYXjnQ7w #biobased #bioeconomy #hydrogen #europe

Three years after its end, the European research project #Zelcor (“Zero Waste Ligno-Cellulosic Biorefineries by Integrated Lignin Valorisation”) continues to bear fruit with its last open access publication on technical lignins' safety. This paper results from a collaboration between Institut National de l'Environnement Industriel et des Risques (INERIS, France), # Wageningen Food and Biobased Research (WFBR, The Netherlands), BEES Design (Italy), Avantium Chemicals B.V. (The Netherlands), and Université Paris-Saclay, INRAE, AgroParisTech, Institute Jean-Pierre Bourgin for Plant Sciences (IJPB).   Many thanks to all the co-authors and more particularly the INERIS team Guy MARLAIR, Thangavelu JAYABALAN, Pascal PANDARD, Binotto Ghislain, Julien Gomes, Xavier Ceschini, Aurélie AUBE who performed the safety tests and led the paper publication. Zelcor received funding from the Bio Based Industries Joint Undertaking under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 720303. The project was awarded the “Stars of Europe” ("Etoiles de l'Europe") special jury prize in 2021.   #bioeconomy #BBI #lignins #lignocellulose #biorefineries #sustainability #safety

" From the bio-based industries, the story is similar to that of hydrogen a few years ago. Compared to the fossil-based industry, many alternatives are in their early stages, and cannot yet compete in terms of cost and scale.... Nevertheless, like hydrogen, the bio-based industries offer an opportunity to Europe that needs to be grabbed with both hands. The bio-based industries are a driver towards Europe becoming more resilient and transitioning to a greener industrial ecosystem..." ♻️♻️♻️ #bioeconomy #biobased #sustainability

A recent viewpoint by Prof. Erlantz Lizundia at the University of the Basque Country in Spain highlights the technical challenges of developing #biobased products that balance performance with a competitive price and #sustainability compared to benchmark materials.

📢 [NEWS]  AFYREN's research team reaches 2-million fermentation hour milestone and identifies new raw materials to fuel industrial expansion A dozen years of R&D have allowed us to build:   🏭  Unique expertise in the industrial-scale production of bio-based ingredients using a biomimetic process 🌿 Flexible feedstock options will ensure short supply chains wherever we operate   🤝  An innovation strategy and partnership framework that enable development of new products and circular value chains    Jérémy Pessiot⚡ PESSIOT, Managing Director, R&D Director and co-founder of AFYREN, said: "We have drawn our inspiration from natural ecosystems, where nothing is lost, nothing is created, and everything is transformed, to build a lean, high-performance technology based on extracting value from biomass. Over 12 years of applied research into the control of methanization in the laboratory, we have developed an industrial-scale fermentation process that is unique in its category. Today, we are continuing to invest in research to identify new ways of extracting value from biomass. This strategy should enable us to secure various sources of raw materials and replicate a profitable industrial model in a diverse array of geographical regions, with a focus on short supply chains." 👉For more information, read the full press release: https://lnkd.in/ePca4-zt   #innovation #fermentation #bioeconomy #biobasedproducts

On April 14, the Circular Bio-based Europe (CBE-JU) Partnership has published a new call aimed at boosting innovation, market deployement and sustainability of circular bio-based solutions in Europe. The 18 topics in this call range from valorisation of sustainable oil crops, conversion of biomass to platform chemicals and development of new bio-based products including building materials.
