Challenge
The overall objective of Bio-QED project is to describe how promising research results for two important bio-based chemical building blocks, 1,4 butanedol and itaconic acid, will be guided through the notorious “Innovation Valley of Death” to the level of large scale industrial demonstrations.
Approach
RINA will contribute to the development of specific standards and certification schemes that can aid in boosting market uptake of the developed new bio-based products.
BIO-QED receives funding from the European Community's Seventh Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under grant agreement No FP7-613941.
Conclusion
The Bio-QED consortium wants to support the Bioeconomy Strategy by taking a frontrunner position
guiding promising research results for these two demonstrations, which have a number of synergetic effects.
BIO-QED want to prove that:
- industrial White Biotechnology has reached the status that important bio-based building blocks can be made on a scale and with a level of robustness and reliability that it is ready to be implemented in industry
- the costs and efficiency of industrial biotechnology processes can still be reduced significantly by implementing novel concepts like continuous fermentation and highly selective and energy efficient technologies for separation and purification
- Bio-QED will improve the sustainability profile of industrial biotechnology processes processes and promote the efficient use of resources switching from 1st to 2nd generation feedstock.
