SFI IB Annual meeting 2021 Vaccines for fish, seaweed refinement and biogas were among the topics during the first SFI Industrial Biotechnology Centre Annual conference December 1st-2nd. The activity in the Centre was started in December 2020 during a globally challenging Covid-19 situation. The Annual meeting in Trondheim in December 2021 was the first time […]
Digitalization and automation in industrial biotechnology processes Project No.7 The use of big data, bioprocess automation and machine learning methodologies hold much promise in advancing bioprocess development, optimization, and execution. In this sub project we aim to achieve this by 1) increasing the availability of online information of the bioprocess, 2) developing a digital framework to […]
Techno-economic, LCA and sustainability toolbox Project No.6 The SFI IB has a strong bioprocess focus aiming of making new/improved products from different biomasses using microorganisms and enzymes. Industrial biotechnology will be important for establishment of new cost-efficient green processes needed for a future sustainable bioeconomy. However it’s important to get this development guided and assisted […]
Gas value chain – gas production and gas to product Project No.5 The development of bioprocesses based on the utilisation of gaseous feedstocks is currently attracting huge interest nationally and internationally. The opportunity to make products from gaseous products is directly coupled to global needs for new solutions for future supply of feed, bio-based chemicals, […]
Food residues processing and upgrading using enzymes and microorganisms Project No.4 Food by-products or residue materials from the side streams of the meat, dairy, agriculture, aquaculture and fishery industries, constitute large-volume feedstocks available for valorization into new feed and food ingredients. The SFI-IB industrial partners take great interest in the development of tailored enzymes for […]
Enzyme discovery and production tools Project No.3 Enzymes are dominant players in biotechnological processes. The present industrial applications of enzymes and their highly diversified markets are the result of a rapid development of modern biotechnology. This is a growing field that relies on the discovery of new enzymes, improvement of existing enzymes, adequate production methods, […]
Microbial cell factories for Pharmaceuticals, Biopolymers and High Value Products Project No.1 Optimisation of microorganisms to be used industrially is a prerequisite for process economics and quality of the produced product. The main objective for this SUB-project is to develop new and improved microbial strains for targeted direct application (e.g., live vaccines) and host systems, […]
New products from seaweed Project No.2 The international and national seaweed industry is growing rapidly. The growth is driven by a global need for finding new and sustainable solutions for food and feed ingredients, biobased chemicals, polymers and biomaterials. The main goal of this project is to process macroalgae biomass for obtaining high yields of […]
