The aim of the joint project AbZuMeOH - Waste to Methanol – is to investigate the potential of utilizing carbon dioxide for methanol synthesis. The CO₂ results from the incineration of (biogenic) waste and the production of burnt lime.

Project InA Insect-based sustainable aquaculture aims to establish a flexible, modular, scalable and smart pilot plant for the sustainable inland production of shrimp based on regional side streams and using feed insects (black soldier flies).

Customized antimicrobial peptides from insects as food and feed ingredients for prevention of microbial spoilage by Gram negative bacteria

Generation of BIO-based phase change materials from waste management processes for integration into Thermal Energy Storage Foam (TESS) as a sustainable insulating system for building applications-BIOTESS

Innovative use of different biomasses for the production of PYROlyzed plant carbon as an additive for CEMent based construction materials with integrated CO₂ reduction.

PHA biopolymers from CO₂ for packaging materials using disposable medical products and special films as an example

The SusBev - Sustainable Beverages - project aims to utilize agricultural residues and side streams from viticulture and other regional agricultural processes and turn them into healthy and tasty beverages and foods with the help of fermentative processes.

Im Projekt GreenProScale – Prozessintegration und Scale-Up einer Grünschnitt-Bioraffinerie unter Berücksichtigung der Robustheit des Systems - wird die effiziente biotechnologische Nutzung schwach verholzter Biomasse im Sinne einer nachhaltigen Kreislaufwirtschaft untersucht.
