Enginzyme was created to make chemistry cleaner and more efficient, so it was natural that we joined the Mistra SafeChem consortium. Today the group announced details about the kick-off of phase 2. Phase 1 was Sweden-centric and focused on creating tools to help chemical companies hew to the 12 principles of green chemistry. Phase 2 will be a more international effort. Five interdisciplinary case studies will be carried out to develop new processes for select products that will assessed under guidelines for SSbD (Safe and Sustainable by Design.) The case studies will be developed with a strong focus on the EU Chemical Strategy for Sustainability. AstraZeneca, BASF, Cambrex, enginzyme, Merck, Nouryon, Perstorp Group, LigniCore, and Stockholm Vatten och Avfall are participating, along with the research partners IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, Stockholm University, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, DTU - Technical University of Denmark, and Uppsala University. The program is funded by Mistra, Stiftelsen för miljöstrategisk forskning (Swedish Foundation for Strategic Environmental Research), with SEK 70 million (€6 million) over four years. The program partners will contribute SEK 30 million. Stay tuned for more on this. https://lnkd.in/e8k9BcfT

🎉Congratulations on your election to our Executive Board: Dr. Gernot Jäger!🎉 🌱🔬✨ Dr. Gernot Jäger: "The bioeconomy can only generate the necessary impact if we succeed in scaling biotechnological processes from lab to industrial scale. However, this is a costly and often lengthy process. Networks like CLIB can strongly contribute by accelerating and supporting such technology developments. Optimizing this contribution is a special priority for me in my work on the Executive Board." 🌱🔬✨ Read more: https://lnkd.in/eCM3nq6r CLIB - Cluster Industrielle Biotechnologie COVESTRO DEUTSCHLAND AG #networking #biotechnology #sustainability

European industries call for a bold and impactful Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Initiative🌱🚀 🤝Alongside with 17 stakeholders across Europe are supporting these five core principles for the forthcoming EU Biotech and Biomanufacturing initiative. For the Alliance for Biosolutions the need of a significant paradigm shift towards regulation and legislative framework conditions that prioritize bio-innovation and sustainable solutions based on biotechnology, acknowledging these as fundamental drivers of the green transition is KEY.🔑 Biosolututions such as sustainable sources of protein, bioplastics, biocement and bioasphalt plays a key role in delivering on international climate goals Therefore, the principles should be embedded into consideration of EU legislations, ensuring convergence, rather than divergence, for innovation across frameworks. 🙏 Thank you to EuropaBio - the European Association for Bioindustries for initiating this coalition Learn more about the 5 principles here: https://lnkd.in/eFKUjKRt And re-read our 10 principles for biosolutions sent to the Commission earlier: https://lnkd.in/d4jYxJVi

🌱 The BIOTRANSFORM project is all about transformation pathways to a circular bioeconomy that will be showcased in six regional case-studies across Europe. While CLIB is analysing the opportunities for the chemical industry in NRW, our partners are facing their own regional challenges. How can other European countries and regions learn from our findings? In a recently finished milestone, we chose indicators to reduce the complexity of the transformation paths, communicate the results in an easily understandable way, and make them comparable with similar regions. Once finished, you will find the results of our efforts on the BIOTRANSFORM website. #biotransform #bioeconomy #circularbioeconomy #HorizonEurope VTT| alchemia-nova| Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) | VITO| CTA (Corporación Tecnológica de Andalucía) | @CluBE - Cluster of Bioeconomy and Environment of Western Macedonia | CLIB - Cluster Industrielle Biotechnologie | BIOEAST HUB Czech Republic | @ACR+ | @Association-of-Cities-and-Regions-for-sustainable-Resource-management | Q-PLAN INTERNATIONAL
