List of innovation projects
Project AbZuMeOH
The aim of the joint project AbZuMeOH - Waste to Methanol – is to investigate the potential of utilizing carbon dioxide for methanol synthesis. The CO2 results from the incineration of (biogenic) waste and the production of burnt lime.
Project InA
Project InA Insect-based sustainable aquaculture aims to establish a flexible, modular, scalable and smart pilot plant for the sustainable inland production of shrimp based on regional side streams and using feed insects (black soldier flies).
Project AMP Food
Customized antimicrobial peptides from insects as food and feed ingredients for prevention of microbial spoilage by Gram negative bacteria
Project BIOTESS
Generation of BIO-based phase change materials from waste management processes for integration into Thermal Energy Storage Foam (TESS) as a sustainable insulating system for building applications-BIOTESS
Project PYROCEM
Innovative use of different biomasses for the production of PYROlyzed plant carbon as an additive for CEMent based construction materials with integrated CO2 reduction.
Project PHA4Pack
PHA biopolymers from CO2 for packaging materials using disposable medical products and special films as an example
Project SusBev
The SusBev - Sustainable Beverages - project aims to utilize agricultural residues and side streams from viticulture and other regional agricultural processes and turn them into healthy and tasty beverages and foods with the help of fermentative processes.
Project INFeed (completed)
Project INFeed – Customized feed for a sustainable nutrition – develops refining processes for the sustainable production of insect-based animal feed from food scraps.
Project GlyChem (completed)
GlyChem – Glycans and co-products as biogenic recyclables – develops extraction and upgrading processes for the sustainable production of recyclable materials from carbohydrate-rich or lignocellulosic material streams.
Project SynBioTech (completed)
Synergistic development of biotechnological and chemical processes to add value to decentralized C1 material streams
Project GreenToGreen (completed)
Project GreenToGreen – municipal green waste as the basis for green chemistry – develops processes for the material use of park and garden waste for a sustainable production of chemicals and animal feed.
Project CtC (completed)
The objective of project CTC – Carbohydrate wastes to Chemicals is to exploit sugar from carbohydrate waste streams and use it as a future raw material base for the production of glycols.
