Industrial biotechnology plays a crucial role in the development of sustainable and cost effective production processes for biobased chemicals. These processes typically consist of two distinct unit operations: fermentation, followed by purification of the compound of interest from the fermentation broth. Product recovery and purification (also called downstream processing or DSP) are important cost factors, responsible for up to 80% of the total production cost. Reducing DSP cost is therefore a key success factor to improve the overall economics of biobased processes.

Falcon
  • 2G biomass, Biomass pretreatment, Biorefinery, Bulk chemicals, Chemical building blocks, Enzymatic conversion, Finished projects, Forestry sidestreams, Fuel additives, Fuels, H2020-RIA, Lignin biomass, Lignin-based fuel, Marine fuel, Process development (TRL 4-5), Scale-up (TRL 4-6), WP leader

Falcon: Fuel And chemicals from Lignin through enzymatic and chemical CONversion.
FALCON aims to convert this lignin-rich industrial waste of 2G biofuel plants to higher value products, in particular shipping fuels, fuel additives and chemical building blocks. This would be the next consecutive step in turning waste to products, thus minimizing waste and simultaneously providing new alternatives for fossil resource based processes.
