🌿 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.

This study introduces an acid-functionalized ZnS/#Biochar nanocatalyst synthesized with Camellia sinensis leaf extract. Utilized for glycerol acetalization, the catalyst, optimized for solketal synthesis, exhibits high surface area and reusability. Its eco-friendly approach and versatility position it as a promising contributor to sustainable #biofuel production and environmental catalysis. https://lnkd.in/gap2HF6f

I have some exciting news to share with you! Our research team has successfully published another article in the Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery Journal. Our study focused on controlling the enzymatic degradation of biodegradable poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) by introducing a small amount of poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) or fluorocarbons. These two compounds are hydrophobic and therefore resistant to enzymatic degradation.

Researchers at Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands have pioneered a sustainable industrial fermentation method to extract valuable acetone and isopropanol from bio-waste gases. This breakthrough, detailed in the Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology, offers a more environmentally friendly alternative to conventional fossil carbon-dependent production. The team focused on optimizing recovery processes, achieving over 99.2% purity for both chemicals through vacuum and pass-through distillation. This development marks a significant stride towards sustainable industrial fermentation, with the researchers now exploring the purification of other high-value chemicals. #Sustainability #BioWaste #ChemicalEngineering #Biotechnology #wastemanagement #circulareconomy

📢 Partnership Opportunity Spotlight! New York University researchers have identified a new synthetic pathway that turns plant biomass into valuable products and precursors for fragrances, flavors, pesticides, and more! Dr. Tianning Diao’s lab has engineered a retro-synthetic strategy to depolymerize lignin (a complex and rigid polymer found in the cell walls of plants) and unleash its synthetic utility. Lignin makes up roughly 30% of the dry mass of wood and is typically discarded by sawmills as waste. It's a low-cost and easily sourced material with untapped potential as a green input to synthesize a wide range of useful and valuable molecules. 🤝 NYU TOV is looking for a partner to help commercialize this promising new synthetic pathway! Learn more about the innovation and how you could partner with us! ➡ https://lnkd.in/gGNg9_wP (or contact BD Manager Douglas Brawley, PhD). 📖 Read their research in greater detail: https://lnkd.in/gpUmVjSi https://lnkd.in/g2j8-Kis #GreenResearch #NYUinnovation #Chemistry #GreenChemistry #Sustainability #Catalysis #CleanTech #AgriTech #AgTech #Fragrances #Flavors #Flavours

PERSEO is proud to be part of the ongoing FUELPHORIA project, whose M6 meeting was held last 27th March in BBEPP facilities (Ghent). 🚀   At PERSEO Biotechnology S.L., our vision is centered on achieving advancements by successfully demonstrating synergistic bioethanol and biomethane production at a semi-industrial scale. As the leader of DEMO 4 in FUELPHORIA, we will demonstrate the technical, economic, and environmental viability of integrating bioethanol fermentation and anaerobic digestion using urban biowastes as feedstock at industrial scale. The CO2 stream from the fermentation process will be valorized by means of catalytic hydrogenation to bioethanol and biomethanol in collaboration with CSIC. 🌱♻️   This approach will innovate biowaste management, ushering in a more circular and sustainable industry compared to current technologies. We are committed to making significant strides in sustainability within the waste management and energy sectors by efficiently producing advanced biofuels from biowaste and swiftly implementing these technologies into the market.   Discover more about our groundbreaking efforts in the ongoing FUELPHORIA project and witness the strides we're making towards a greener, more sustainable future! 🌍💡    #PERSEO #FUELPHORIA #Demo4 #Sustainability #Biofuels #Innovation

"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

" 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
