Building A Sustainable Future for the Biopharma Industry As part of the global effort to address climate change, the biopharma industry is committed to decarbonizing its operations and making manufacturing more sustainable. To support this seismic shift, biopharma companies are working closely with solutions providers to incorporate sustainability practices into their operations and construction projects. Implementing these changes will lead to reduced emissions and the decarbonization of entire value chains. The companies whose sustainability practices are the most effective will enjoy a competitive advantage and deliver the most meaningful, positive societal impact. https://lnkd.in/g7iA5MtD #aspenalert #biotech #bioprocess

The EU must take bold steps to reduce its dependence on fossil resources and enable the Green Transition. Some thoughts on key issues below 👇 #RenewableCarbonInitiative #defossilisation #biotechnology #biomamufacturing #EuropeanCommission

⏳𝗦𝘄𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗨 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵 & 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 & 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🌍 In March, the Commission proposed a series of targeted actions to boost biotechnology and biomanufacturing in the EU. It identifies challenges and barriers and proposes actions to tackle that. The #RenewableCarbonInitiative believes this initiative is crucial to reaching #netzero and reducing reliance on fossil resources. Today, we have published a position paper which urges the European Commission to prioritise three key actions: 1️⃣ 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀: Ensure consistency across EU initiatives on #RenewableCarbon, including #biomass, #recycling, and CO2-based sources. 2️⃣ 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱: Policies must drive demand for renewable carbon feedstocks to create a globally competitive industry. 3️⃣ 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵: Support the shift from fossil-based to renewable carbon feedstocks in manufacturing, ensuring a #sustainable transition. Let's accelerate the shift to renewable carbon for a more competitive and sustainable EU! 💡🌱 Find the RCI position paper here: https://lnkd.in/e4tnSi38 #Defossilisation #ChemicalIndustry #EUCompetitiveness #Biomanufacturing #CircularEconomy #GreenTransition #RCI

https://lnkd.in/dA2g5efH Thanks to Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei for inviting me to represent OIMCE - Osservatorio Italiano Materie Prime Critiche Energia in the roundtable, addressing data availability and market transparency, European policies to enhance supply, and how innovation and recycling help reduce demand of critical raw materials. Strengthening circular models is the objective of OIMCE - Osservatorio Italiano Materie Prime Critiche Energia proposals on recycling. These proposals include incentivizing collection of Waste from Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) also through full application of the principle of Extended Producer Responsibility, supporting entrepreneurs committed to using new technologies, developing a market for recycled materials also through special taxation, and removing legislative barriers due for example to the classification of recyclable materials.

NEWS: LanzaTech's Project ADAPT has been awarded $3 million from the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management | U.S. Department of Energy (FECM) to advance the conversion of waste CO2 into environmentally responsible and economically valuable chemicals as part of a broader $29 million investment program to progress U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s carbon management priorities. Project ADAPT (“Accelerating Decarbonization via Advanced Production Technologies”) builds upon our existing capabilities of using CO2 as a feedstock to produce isopropanol at a pilot scale and aims to advance the process and platform with the following key focus areas: 💨 Versatility in Feedstock Use: Enhancing the platform's ability to process a range of gas mixes with CO2 🧬 Microbial Strain Optimization: Employing advanced gene-editing techniques to develop tailored microbial production strains for making isopropanol and other prevalent chemicals 💰 Cost and Efficiency Improvements: Refining the end-to-end process to be more cost-effective, efficient, and more robust Isopropanol is a common alcohol used in an array of everyday products such as cleaning agents and is also a precursor to the propylene value chain. Propylene, which is a building block for packaging, medical supplies, automotive products, among many other applications, has a thriving demand market that is projected to approach $150 billion and 180 million tons by 2030. Importantly, isopropanol production has the ability to achieve greenhouse gas savings of over 200% when produced from recycled CO2 instead of fossil carbon. Importantly, a non-fossil commercial production pathway does not exist today. CO2 is an essential feedstock of today and the future, and we are thrilled to progress scaling this conversion process to make some of the world's most important chemicals.

MEMBER NEWS | Welcome to Our New Member Energo Green!   ENERGO’s mission is to offer innovative solutions to #defossilise industrial and agricultural sites and establish a circular economy. Whereas a conventional fossil-based economy is based on major transformation units and heavy logistic constraints, Energo’s solutions is compact and can be implemented close to CO₂ emitters or final product users, reducing the need for product transportation and fostering a circular economy and decentralised production. Based on Chimie ParisTech - PSL research, our new member has developed a technology of plasma catalysis to convert gases into molecules of interest. Their technology will make it possible to defossilise industries and to competitively transform the biogas from farms and CO₂ from industries into biofuels or E-fuels, green hydrogen, or green methane.    Energo’s applications include the development of: 🔵 2 pathways to produce hydrogen that replace its conventional production from natural gas, coal or electrolysis. 🔵 Several pathways to produce syngas and adjust syngas' quality for SAF production. 🔵 A technological pathway to produce bio-based chemicals, such as methanol, acids, and ketons, to substitute fossil-based chemicals.   Our new member was amongst the winners of the La French Tech 2023 awards which recognises the most promising startups in France. They were also recently awarded the Solar Impulse Foundation’s label that acknowledges clean and cost-effective solutions. ENERGO recently raised up to 16.5M€ from Crédit Mutuel Alliance Fédérale, GTT (Gaztransport & Technigaz) and Nord France Amorçage to carry on technology development and investment in first industrial units.   Find out more about Energo at https://energo.green/.
