🚀 Exciting Milestone in Norway! I’m thrilled to announce that a few weeks ago, Bioland AS successfully installed and commissioned their first Pyrolysis Boiler C160-F in Norway! 🎉 A huge thanks to Knut Møyner Hohle and Hans anders Kjos and his team, and the entire BioLand AS team for their dedication and expertise in making this project a reality. Emphasizing that you have managed to get it all done without requiring that anyone from Biomacon had to come out. Special gratitude also goes to Aleksander Systad and his project team at Risa AS, a passionate and innovative client from Norway’s contracting sector, renowned for their infrastructure solutions. Your enthusiasm and support were invaluable! 🙌 Thanks for this great Video! Risa AS is now able to generate 1.280GWh of regenerative heat annually and produce 165t of biochar per year with a carbon storage capacity of approximately 400tCO2eq/a. 🌍This marks the 4th Biomacon Pyrolysis system we have successfully developed in Norway as Decarbo-Engineering GmbH —and the first collaboration with Bioland AS. With applications targeting medium-sized operations (1,000-2,000 t/a feedstock input), we’re confident this is just the beginning of an exciting journey in advancing sustainable solutions in the region. 💪The partnership with Bioland has grown over the past three years, and seeing the momentum now—starting with the first order last year and two more systems already in line—is truly rewarding. 👏 Big respect to BioMaCon GmbH and Ulrich Suer for designing such a robust and versatile BCR system, catering to feedstock capacities from 500 t/a to 2,300 t/a. Biomacon's innovation continue to set benchmarks in small/medium pyrolysis technology. #NETZERO #Pyrolysis #BCR #Biochar #CDR #Collaboration #Norway

🎉 We’re thrilled to announce the successful completion of the first close of our seed round funding, bringing our total investment to over $10M! 🙌 This milestone was made possible thanks to the incredible support of First Bight Ventures and Universal Materials Incubator Co., Ltd. (UMI). 🚀 This funding will enable us to: 🔬 Expand our fermentation team ⚙️ Engineer our microbes 3x faster and purify our first commercial samples 🌱 Scale our proprietary bioprocesses, transforming renewable feedstocks like ethanol and methane into high-performance biobased chemicals It’s an exciting time as we continue to push the boundaries of bioinnovation and we want to thank our incredible team and the partners who are supporting us Jennifer Holmgren, Jim Barber, Johan van Walsem, Mark Oberle, Olivier Marie Veronica Breckenridge Yosuke Yamamoto, Veronique Lafargue, Derek Greenfield, Noah Helman, Elizabeth Clarke, Matt Engler.

I'm excited to announce that my latest research paper, titled "Large-scale Cultivation of Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 for the Production of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and Its Potential Applications in the Manufacturing of Bulk and Medical Prototypes," is now published! 📚 This work explores the potential of Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 as a sustainable source for producing Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), a biopolymer with promising applications in both bulk manufacturing and medical fields. From environmental benefits to innovative medical prototypes, the possibilities with PHB are incredibly exciting! To make these findings more accessible, I've created a video that summarizes the key points and implications of the study. 🎥 Whether you're in academia, industry, or just curious about biopolymer innovation, I invite you to check it out! 🎥 Watch the video summary: https://lnkd.in/e2sFFAFp 🔗 Read the full paper: https://lnkd.in/eDv45wBa I'm eager to hear your thoughts and discuss potential collaborations or applications. Let's connect and explore the future of sustainable materials together! #Research #Biotechnology #Sustainability #PolymerScience #MedicalInnovation #VideoContent #Algae

🎉 GRANT AWARDED ! 🎉 🤑 £700,000 project ! 🤑 🔬 For the last 5 months and the next 15, we are honoured to collaborate with CPI on the development, optimisation and up-scale of the biosynthesis of two innovative biomaterials using the waste streams of #seaweed #extraction processess up to 1500L of fermentation ! 🌊 #Seaweeds offer enormous potential as a source of valuable chemicals and materials as sustainable and renewable alternatives to fossil-fuel derived equivalents. Key to unlocking their potential is obtaining maximum value through efficient resource use. 🧫 Currently, the seawed industry relies mainly on the extraction of #hydrocolloids which often represent 10-40% of the #biomass... the rest is nearly always discarded ! Empowering the magic of #microorganisms, our wonderful team of #biotechnologists and #chemists, Afifa Anis, Enrico Green, Deep Bhattarai, Andrew Maneffa and Sevven Smith led by our brilliant CSO Mattia Parati have come up with a way to turn this fraction into high added value biopolymers which can be use din many applications of the #cosmetic, #packaging and #pharmaceutical industries. 🙏 Immense thanks to the CPI team who we will be working with, Deepan Shah, Lindsay Blain, Lewis Allen, Stephen Oyston and their colleagues who have helped crafting the application with us ! 🙏 Great thanks to the Innovate UK team as well, Nick Cliffe and Paul Bello who have always supported our efforts and continue to make FlexSea thrive through innovation projects. ♻ By the end of the 20-month project FlexSea aims to reinforce our current patent of the tehcnology and employ the material synthesised to undertake #commercial #pilots with several industry partners. In addition, the consortium will deliver a full technoeconomic and #LCA life-cycle assessment for further commercialization of the technology. ---- #grant #innovation #project #biotechnology #fermentation #bacteria #seaweed #waste #valorization #valorisation #microorganism #cellculture

I think of Bioreactors as crockpots that help scientists "cook". Our Ambr 250 Modular is like those crockpot systems where you can start with one and then plug in another and another... depending on how much you want to cook at once! Save $ in development by working small and our vessels easily scale to 2000L. #makemagic #simplifyprogress #iloveambr #biotechnology https://lnkd.in/eu2bQGbe
