HORIZON-CL6-2026-01-CIRCBIO-11: Harnessing the unique properties of marine organisms to deliver sustainable blue bio-based products
About
Proposed activities by VTT
-
Sustainable Biorefining and Extraction – (lab to pilot)
-
Biochemical Characterization/structure property relationship
-
Transferring physical and chemical modification of lignocellulosic materials on sea-weeds based polysaccharides utilizing different functionalisation for target applications such as
-
Sustainable adhesives and surfactants
-
Modification for biosensing, biomarker applications (lab-scale)
-
Antifouling paintings and coatings
-
To achieve these objectives, VTT seeks a diverse consortium of partners, including:
-
SMEs/companies for marine goods supply and scaling up developments,
-
Research and technology organisations for marine biotech (research ideas and fundamentals of marine organisms), biorefining, extraction
-
Universities for AI-driven research, cost and market analysis, and SSbD framework
-
Industrial partners for exploitation and future industrial applications,
-
Partners for communication, dissemination and exploitation..
