Combined Ultrasonic and Enzyme treatment of Lignocellulosic Feedstock as Substrate for Sugar Based Biotechnological Applications (US4GREENCHEM)

Start date: Jul 1, 2015, End date: Jun 30, 2019,

US4GREENCHEM aims to design a biorefinery concept for the complete valorization of lignocellulosic biomass that is energy- and cost- efficient and based solely on green technologies. The concept combines mechanical pretreatment of the substrate with the aid of ultrasound to overcome its recalcitrance and disrupt inhibitors with mild CO2 hemicellulose degradation and with the enzymatic recovery of ...

Faster Upcoming Technology Uptake Relevant for the Environment in FOOds Drying (FUTURE-FOOD)

Start date: Mar 1, 2015, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

Future Food aims at demonstration and first market application of an eco-innovative solution for sustainable food drying. The process makes use of high pressure CO2 technology as drying medium which enables efficient drying at close-to-ambient temperatures in absence of oxygen. Research and development studies have shown it feasibility of being an ecological and economical alternative to freeze-dr ...

Production of Cyclic Carbonates from CO2 using Renewable Feedstocks (CYCLICCO2R)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

The concept of CyclicCO2R is to create a process that removes the dependency on fossil fuel and increases the energy efficiency to create a net CO2 uptake in the production of cyclic carbonates. This objective will be reached by basing the process on the use of renewables and CO2 in the production of cyclic carbonates. Two routes will be explored: 1) production of glycerol carbonate methacrylate f ...

Development and verification of an innovative full life sustainable approach to the valorisation of municipal solid waste into industrial feedstocks (WASTE2GO)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Management and segregation of municipal solid waste (MSW) has been increasingly imposed on individuals, with highly variable impacts. Waste2Go will valorise this heterogeneous material that has significant socio-economic costs. It will involve the innovative transformation of over 55% of MSW, the biogenic fraction, into renewable chemicals, advancing beyond current approaches to bio-refining whic ...
