We are happy to announce that, as part of the consortium, GECCO Biotech has been awarded the FLEXIZYME project by the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking. Standing for the "Construction of a FLEXIble and adaptable enZYMatic biotechnological platform for sustainable industrial production of bio-based FAs (Fatty Amines) from side stream materials", FLEXIZYME's aim is to consider all the development steps to obtain biobased FAs from fat-rich and protein-rich feedstocks to fit real industrial needs.
The consortium is formed by a range of skilled and professional academic and industrial partners: GECCO BIOTECH BV GRONINGEN, Netherlands; RIJKSUNIVERSITEIT GRONINGEN Groningen, Netherlands; COMPANIA OLEICOLA DE REFINACION Y ENVASADO SA OSUNA, Spain; KEUKEN & DE KONING BV Breda, Netherlands; Rhodia Laboratoire du Futur Pessac, France; ETHNIKO KENTRO EREVNAS KAI TECHNOLOGIKIS ANAPTYXIS Thermi Thessaloniki, Greece; ETHNICON METSOVION POLYTECHNION ATHINA, Greece; AGENCIA ESTATAL CONSEJO SUPERIOR DE INVESTIGACIONES CIENTIFICAS Madrid, Spain; BIO BASE EUROPE PILOT PLANT VZW Desteldonk Gent, Belgium; LIPIDOS SANTIGA SA SANTA PERPETUA DE MOGODA, Spain; UNIVERSITA DI PISA Pisa, Italy; PROIONTA GIS VOIOU ANONYMOS VIOMICHANIKI EMPORIKI ETAIREIA KOZANI, Greece; CLUSTER VIOOIKONOMIAS KAI PERIVALLONTOS DYTIKIS MAKEDONIAS Kozani, Greece; LAVANTIA NATURE SL L ALCUDIA, Spain; ENCO SRL Napoli, Italy; SPECIALTY OPERATIONS FRANCE LYON, France; PROCESS DESIGN CENTER BV Breda, Netherlands; ROELMI HPC SRL Orrigio, Italy
FLEXIZYME will apply an Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) -driven stakeholder-dependent interdisciplinary approach to ensure industrial implementation of the biotechnological platform and to design and frame a strategy for assessing the various ethical, societal, and gender issues related to the development implementation, and adaptation of FLEXIZYME.
This project has received funding by the European Union under the Circular Bio-Based Europe Joint Undertaking under Grant Agreement No 101157528.
