Project COUNTLESS
Runtime 09/2023 – 08/2027
13 partners led by coordinator VITO are bringing lignin processing to an industrial scale. The aim is the cost-efficient and sustainable production of lignin-based platform chemicals.
moreProject ēQATOR
Runtime 06/2022 – 11/2025
The EU-funded project ēQATOR is developing scalable, electrically heated catalytic reactor technologies for the conversion of biogas to synthesis gas (and further to methanol).
moreProject 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 PyroMar
Project start 01/2020
What could new sustainable ways of producing diesel and heavy fuel oil look like? What are the new raw materials? Pyromar is about producing “defossilised”, low-sulphur maritime bunker fuels from...
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 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...
moreProject Fuels from electricity (eForFuel)
Runtime 03/2018 – 04/2022
eForFuel develops an industrial biotechnology solution that uses electricity and microorganisms to convert CO2 into synthetic hydrocarbon fuels, thus providing a sustainable replacement of fossil...
moreProject BioMates
Runtime 10/2016 – 03/2022
The four-year project aims at manufacturing intermediate products made from wood-like or stalk-like non-food biomass, e.g. from agricultural residues and perennial grasses, which are suitable for...
moreProject COSMOS
Runtime 03/2015 – 08/2019
COSMOS aims at reducing the dependence on imported coconut and palm kernel oils and fatty acids and on castor oil as sources for medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA, C10–C14) and medium-chain polymer...
