Model-Based Construction And Optimisation Of Versatile Chassis Yeast Strains For Production Of Valuable Lipid And Aromatic Compounds (CHASSY)

Start date: Dec 1, 2016, End date: Nov 30, 2020,

CHASSY will unlock the full potential of the yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yarrowia lipolytica and Kluyveromyces marxianus as cell factories for production of high value compounds which have applications in the cosmetic, nutraceutical and white biotechnology sectors. Current cell factory strains for these classes of product are restricted to proof-of-principle levels because of limited precurso ...

Integrated Control and Sensing for Sustainable Operation of Flexible Intensified Processes (CONSENS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

Intensified continuous processes are a key innovation of the last decade for the production of high quality, high value and customer-specific products at competitive prices in a sustainable fashion. To realize the potential of this technology, key steps must be made towards long-term stable, tightly controlled and fully automated production. The goal of the CONSENS project is to advance the contin ...

LARGE AREA FLUIDIC WINDOWS (LaWin)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

An important target of Europe 2020 is climate change and energy sustainability. To reach the ambitious aims, it is necessary to improve the energy performance of buildings in operation. Embodied energy in materials presents a high percentage of the energy spent in the whole life cycle of a building, so new materials are needed. Therefore we will develop within this project a novel material solutio ...

Development of an integrated approach based on validated and standardized methods to support the implementation of the EC recommendation for a definition of nanomaterial (NANODEFINE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

Nanotechnology is a key enabling technology. Still existing uncertainties concerning EHS need to be addressed to explore the full potential of this new technology. One challenge consists in the development of methods that reliably identify, characterize and quantify nanomaterials (NM) both as substance and in various products and matrices. The European Commission has recently recommended a definit ...

Integration of Bio-Conversion and Separation Technology for the production and application of platform chemicals from 2nd generation biomass (BIOCONSEPT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

BioConSepT aims to demonstrate the technically feasibility of White Biotech processes for the conversion of 2nd generation biomass into platform chemicals, which are 30% cheaper and 30% more sustainable than existing chemical routes or 1st generation processes. BioConSepT uses lignocellulose and non-edible oils & fats as cheap, abundantly available feedstocks, which cannot be used as food. The ma ...

Development of an integrated biorefinery for processing chitin rich biowaste to specialty and fine chemicals (CHIBIO)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

The fishing industry in the EU and elsewhere produces an increasing mass of negative value crustacean shell waste (>6 MTPA), whose current disposal in landfills results in significant costs and risks to human health as well as to the environment. While in Asia small amounts of shrimp waste are processed to chitosan, the high CaCO3 content of EU crab shell waste has prevented cost effective convers ...

Life Cycle Assessment of Environment-Compatible Flame Retardants ( Prototypical case study) (ENFIRO)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) will be phased out because of their environmental hazards. Less toxic alternatives appear to be available already but comprehensive information on their possible toxicological effects are lacking. ENFIRO offers a prototypical case study on substitution options for BFRs resulting in a comprehensive dataset on viability of production and application, environmental ...
