Project EnXylaScope
Runtime 05/2021 – 04/2025
The EnXylaScope project aims to discover novel enzymes for debranching xylan, a polymer highly abundant in plants. Production systems will be optimised and the enzymes will be used to produce a range...
moreProject BioSPRINT
Project start 06/2020
The hemicellulose fraction from side streams of the pulp and biofuel industry is the focus of the EU project. The aim is to purify and process them more efficiently and convert them into sugars that...
moreProject VAMOS
Project start 09/2019
Sugar is one of the most essential raw materials for industrial bioprocessing supply chains. The VAMOS project aims to demonstrate the commercial feasibility of producing sugar derived from household...
moreProject SinFonia
Project start 01/2019
The SinFonia project tries to produce organic fluorine compounds by biosynthesis. This could replace the previous environmentally harmful chemical methods used to produce the substances.
moreProject UNRAVEL
Runtime 06/2018 – 05/2022
The UNRAVEL project aims to develop advanced pre-treatment, separation and conversion technologies for complex lignocellulosic biomass. The technology relies on pre-extraction, fractionation using...
