Protein production through fermentation: Towards innovative value chains

FERM EIWIT

by

In the transition to a more sustainable food system, protein produced by microbial fermentation shows considerable potential. It is expected to become a substantial part of our food and feed system. However, development, industrial implementation, as well as processing into food, feed and fine chemicals, in many cases still needs to go through a significant … Read more

From forest to feed: enable the wood industry to bridge the protein gap

Collaboration with 3FBio/Enough

Successful scale-up of 3FBIO (ENOUGH) technology at BBEPP paves the way for first integrated bio-based protein biorefinery, to be built in Sas van Gent.

CEMPA

Conversion of carbon to ethanol and upgrading to microbial proteins for aquaculture

Microbial Protein Transition

Joint investment in lab and pilot equipment for microbial protein production and processing, with the aim to provide improved services to industry.

Promipol

Novel microbial protein-based polymers produced from CO2 and CO derivatives

iFermenter

Conversion of Forestry Sugar Residual Streams to Antimicrobial Proteins by Intelligent Fermentation

Baekeland mandate Lotte Van Peteghem

In collaboration with ArcelorMittal this project aims to gain basic technical and scientific knowledge on electrochemical ammonia separation from the coke oven gas coupled to a novel application for ammonia valorization via microbial protein. The integration of several waste resources on site into such a product is complex and ambitious, but can have a high environmental and economic impact.

PROLIFIC

Integrated cascades of PROcesses for the extraction and valorisation of proteins and bioactive molecules from Legumes, Fungi and Coffee agro-industrial side streams.
