Sustainable PoLymers from Algae Sugars and Hydrocarbons (SPLASH)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2017,
The 4-year SPLASH project will develop a new biobased industrial platform using microalgae as a renewable raw material for the sustainable production and recovery of hydrocarbons and (exo)polysaccharides from the species Botryococcus braunii and further conversion to renewable polymers. The project comprises 20 partners of which 40% SME and several large corporates plus universities and research i ...

Eco-friendly biorefinery fine chemicals from CO2 photo-catalytic reduction (ECO2CO2)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 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 ...
