Biomacromolecules from municipal solid bio-waste fractions and fish waste for high added value applications. (DAFIA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

Municipal solids waste (MSW) are collected by municipalities and represents more than 500 kg/capita (EU-27 average), 300 million tonnes overall every year in the EU-32. Currently, approximately 50% of this volume is landfilled. More than 1.3 million tonnes of Marine rest raw material (MRRM) are generated in Europe each year. Some countries, such as Norway and Denmark, have traditionally for anima ...

Fuel and chemicals from lignin through enzymatic and chemical conversion (FALCON)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

The transition to a biobased economy puts strong challenges on researchers and industry to develop sustainable processes. 2G biofuel plants use waste streams as substrates, but themselves generate a new waste stream of lignin-rich sludge that is left after saccharification of the carbohydrates. This waste stream is expected to exponentially increase with an increasing number of 2G bioethanol plant ...

Processing Underutilised Low value sugarbeet Pulp into VALUE added products (PULP2VALUE) (PULP2VALUE)

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

Sugar beet pulp (SBP) accounts for approx. 13 million tonnes in Europe and is a major residual stream from the sugar beet industry, which is currently valorised as low value feed and/or green gas. In order to increase the value of its side streams, PULP2VALUE developed multiple extraction techniques to isolate more valuable products from this large fraction of sugar beet pulp. Roughly 65% of the ...
