CAFIPLA - Combining carboxylic acid production and fibre recovery as an innovative, cost-effective and sustainable pre-treatment process for heterogeneous bio-waste
Abstract
Currently, the bio-economy relies mostly on sugar-based transformations, requiring complex pre-treatment, in particular for the use of second-generation feedstocks. Moreover, organic waste streams generated in urban areas, or in agriculture, remain heavily underused and valorization options are limited. To increase the application of organic waste as input material for the bio-economy, a completely novel approach for pre-treatment is required. This project will develop an innovative pre-treatment platform to allow the use of organic waste streams as input for the carboxylic acid platform – as an alternative to the sugar platform –, as well as a fiber platform. The carboxylic acid platform, in which short and medium chain carboxylic acids produced from easily accessible biomass are the target intermediate, is key to the development of new biobased value chains, with product applications as chemicals, biomaterials and feed. The additional valorization of the fibrous biomass minimizes side stream formation, and expands the product range. Overall, pre-treatment of biomass to feed in the carboxylic acid and fiber platform will create an environmental and economic added value.
