Bioproduct & Bioprocess Development

We take a holistic approach to developing novel products and sustainable processes, from selecting economically attractive raw materials, to using lifecycle assessments to evaluate products and processes. Incorporating innovative reaction and product recovery technologies into high-efficiency integrated processes is an important part of our daily work. Biologists, chemists, and engineers work together in interdisciplinary project teams to provide alternatives that are competitive even with today’s established chemical processes.

Bioproduct development

• Evaluation of competitive renewable raw materials 
• Development of bio-based high-performance materials with superior product properties 
• Lifecycle assessments and accompanying health studies as an integrated component of product development

Bioprocess development

• Development of sustainable processes based on sustainable raw materials 
• Novel catalytic reactions with high energy and carbon efficiency 
• Incorporation of innovative reaction and product recovery technologies into economically attractive integrated processes
