Emerging Bio-Based Technologies
Critical Raw Materials Extraction Technologies (CRM) from primary (mining) and secondary raw materials (RAEEs, photovoltaic cells, batteries, electric vehicles, wind generators, etc.).
Biocatalysts (bacteria, fungi, microalgae, enzymes) for biorecovery processes (extraction of proteins, fatty acids, valuable metals …), bioremediation (metal recovery, microplastic removal, etc.) and plastics biodegradation.
Obtaining products with high added value (eg: proteins, fatty acids, building blocks, etc.) from different waste streams (marine fishing by-products, single cells, sewage sludge …) through biobased processes (eg: biological processes , enzymatic processes, etc.).
Development of enzymatic and / or biological pretreatments to improve the energy efficiency of different industrial processes).
Antimicrobial evaluation of biocidal compounds, coatings, textiles, etc.
Microbiological analysis of water, sludge.
Biorefineries and New Value Chains
Development of new biorefinery models – Circular Economy – Zero Waste.
Obtaining Biopolymers from various waste streams and by-products with high carbon content (sludge, waste water, by-products from the food sector…).
Development of new processes for the use of forest and agricultural biomass. Thermochemical processes (pyrolysis, gasification, etc.), processes for the recovery of compounds of interest (polyphenols, tannins, carbohydrates, etc.).
Technologies for the recovery of organic waste: Biogas production processes, dark fermentation for the production of H2, composting, Technologies for purification and use of biogas and H2.
Obtaining hydrogen from urban and agri-food waste streams through biocatalytic electrolysis. Synthesis of building blocks such as ethylene, methanol, etc. by electrochemical systems from CO2 waste streams for application in the chemical industry.
Processes for obtaining biofertilizers and nutrient recovery. Formulation of fertilizers, technosols and amendments from secondary sources of nutrients. Regeneration of degraded soils. Field validation tests.
