Biorefining as circulation technology

Description

The project develops environmentally friendly biorefining technologies for microbial, plant, animal and waste biomass, producing high‑value materials for food, agriculture, energy and manufacturing industries in line with circular‑economy principles.

Sector

A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities

Needs/ Problem statement

Need for advanced biorefining technologies enabling efficient conversion of diverse biomass streams into valuable products while reducing environmental burdens.

Objective

Develop integrated chemical, biochemical and physical biorefining processes to valorize microbial, plant, animal and waste biomass into high‑value products.

Outcomes and final product

A functional sample based on hydrolysate fractions rich in aspartic and glutamic acids for removing heavy‑metal ions from industrial wastewater and brownfield effluents. The approach valorises animal‑waste feather biomass into an efficient sorbent for circular‑economy applications. (TN01000048/01‑V008)
