Within the research area of biotechnology, current work is focused on

Bioethanol (SSF)

  • Bioethanol production from annual plants
  • Enzymatic hydrolysis
  • High solids fermentation (up to 50 wt%)
  • In-situ downstream conversion to bio-ethylene

Biogas production

  • Biogas from residues
  • Biogas from sewage sludge
  • Cascade utilisation - recovery of valuable metals

Digestate utilisation

  • Separation of fine digestate
  • Fertiliser recovery
  • Process water recycling

Lignin recovery

  • Isolation of lignin from biomass
  • Enzymatic recovery of aromatics and chemicals from biomass feedstock/ residues
