About
We develop and scale-up modified CNSL derived ingredients and intermediates for high-performance applications, including bio-based binders for bitumen, epoxy and alkyd resins, coatings, detergency and cosmetic formulations.
Within the scope of HORIZON-CL6-2026-01-CIRCBIO-07, we aim to contribute as an industrial and technological partner advancing bio-based innovation through scalable upgrading pathways of underutilised biomass streams. Our expertise covers:
-
Extraction of vegetable oil from biomass
-
Chemical modification of bio-based feedstocks
-
Polymerization
-
Formulation and functionalisation for performance materials
-
Scale-up readiness and industrial applicability
-
Substitution of fossil-derived components in construction and specialty chemicals
We are particularly interested in collaborative projects integrating biotechnology and biomanufacturing concepts to enhance the functionality, performance and sustainability of bio-based materials, while contributing to EU climate goals, circular economy objectives and strategic autonomy in bio-based chemicals.
