Isobutanol synthesis at TUM Campus Straubing

As part of the collaborative project SynergyFuels, three professorships from the TUM-Campus Straubing are responsible for the isobutanol synthesis, namely Professorship Microbial Biotechnology (TUM MIB), Chair of Chemistry of Biogenic Raw Resources (TUM CBR), and Professorship Bioprocess Engineering (TUM BVT). TUM MIB unlocked and characterized the production of isobutanol from wheat straw hydrolysate with Corynebacterium… Read More »Isobutanol synthesis at TUM Campus Straubing

Thermochemical conversion of biogenic residues at Fraunhofer UMSICHT

Retrospective for 2023-2024: progress in EXO and TCR technologies In 2023, the innovative “EXO” biomass conversion plant was put into operation as part of the SynergyFuels project. This plant combines a pyrolysis process with a gasification step. So far, sewage sludge, screen overflow, wood and vine cuttings have been tested as feedstocks. Continuous optimization of… Read More »Thermochemical conversion of biogenic residues at Fraunhofer UMSICHT

International stage for SynergyFuels: Biofuel production at the KTB2024 in Brazil

Christoph Gunkel, a research associate at the Technical University of Munich’s working group for Microbial Biotechnology, gave a talk about microbial isobutanol production at the „Key Technologies in the Bioeconomy“ (KTB) conference in São Paulo and Ubatuba. The KTB covers current developments in the bioeconomy, including relevant socioeconomic, financial, and regulatory drivers, as well as… Read More »International stage for SynergyFuels: Biofuel production at the KTB2024 in Brazil
