TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURES FOR CHEMISTRY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY

Enhancing the visibility and accessibility of Technology Infrastructures, strengthening the innovation and technology development capacity of the European chemical and biotech industries.
Created with Sketch Beta.

ThincBio project

ThinCBio is a Horizon Europe project, Grant No. 101294272, dedicated to mapping, connecting and strengthening Technology Infrastructures across chemistry and biotechnology in Europe. The European chemical and pharmaceutical industry employs 1.9 million people and supplies critical materials to nearly every sector. To remain globally competitive and meet climate goals, it urgently needs faster scale-up pathways and better access to shared pilot infrastructures, particularly for SMEs and start-ups.

Consortium

Coordinator

Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft

Germany
Fraunhofer IGB develops processes, technologies and products for health, food and feed, a sustainable chemistry, the environment and climate protection. For this, we rely on the combination of biotechnological and process engineering competencies in order to contribute to human well-being, a sustainable economy and an intact environment with the systems approach of bioeconomy and bioinspired, biointegrated and biointelligent solutions. We provide our customers with end-to-end solutions, from the laboratory to pilot-scale applications, accompanied by a wide range of analysis and testing services.

Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant

Belgium
Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant is an independent, state-of-the-art facility that operates from a laboratory level to a multi-ton scale. Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant is a service provider for process development, scale-up and custom manufacturing of biobased products and processes. A wide and flexible spectrum of modular unit operations combined with the experience of our highly competent engineers and technicians enables us to translate your biobased lab protocol into a viable industrial process.
Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant enables the conversion of renewable feedstocks into biochemicals, biomaterials, biofuels and other bioproducts by using technologies such as biomass pretreatment (upstream processing), biocatalysis, precision fermentation, biomass fermentation, gas fermentation, green chemistry and product recovery and purification (downstream processing).

RISE Processum

Sweden
RISE Processum AB works with biorefinery development from laboratory to demonstration scale for a sustainable growth and in close cooperation with the industry. It is the host to Processum Biorefinery Cluster, a Swedish cluster for the development and commercialization of biorefinery processes, green products, chemicals and materials. Processum is a RISE subsidiary.

IDEA Consult
