Tech Talk, Valorization of Biomaterial
Biomass Valorization: From Residue to Resource
In an era where sustainability is paramount, the conversion of residual biomass into high-value compounds represents a critical leap forward in environmental innovation. This Tech Talk will delve into the world of biomass valorization, exploring the transformation of agricultural residues, agro-industrial wastes, and other organic materials into valuable chemicals, food ingredients, biofuels, and more.
Solange Mussatto, Professor at DTU, will lead the first segment of this Tech Talk. She will lay the theoretical groundwork for biomass conversion, presenting a broad perspective on various biomass types and the potential they hold for sustainable development. This introduction sets the stage for a deeper dive into specific applications and innovations in the field.
Following Solange, Louise Bendixsen, Process Specialist at Meliora Bio will take over, zooming in on the practical side of biomass valorization. Her presentation will focus on the specific types of biomass utilized by Meliora Bio and the innovative products emerging from their processes. This segment promises to bridge the gap between theory and practice, offering insights into the company's development and current operations in the biomass conversion industry.
The Tech Talk will wrap up with a Q&A where both speakers will be available to answer your questions, providing a unique opportunity to engage with experts at the forefront of biomass research and application.
Join us for this Tech Talk and discover how cutting-edge research and industry practices are paving the way for a more sustainable production, turning what was once considered waste into precious resources.
