PROMICON Project: Pioneering Sustainable Biotechnology for Water & Energy Sectors
Key Ideas
- PROMICON, funded by EU Horizon 2020, leverages microbiomes to produce biopolymers, butanol, and hydrogen, aligning with EU's Bioeconomy Strategy.
- The final Innovation Workshop in Leipzig maximized commercial potential by engaging stakeholders and shaping solutions to meet industry needs.
- The project aims to reduce reliance on fossil-based resources by offering scalable, circular solutions for the water and energy sectors.
- Partners are scaling up pilot systems to validate the technologies in industrial settings and drive widespread adoption for a sustainable future.
The PROMICON project, funded by the EU Horizon 2020 programme, is revolutionizing sustainable biotechnology by utilizing microbiomes to produce biopolymers, butanol, and hydrogen in line with the EU 2018 Bioeconomy Strategy. The project's final Innovation Workshop in Leipzig, Germany, organized by Isle Utilities, focused on commercial potential and stakeholder engagement. The Innovation Board, including biotechnology and hydrogen experts, provided insights to shape solutions meeting industry needs. The project partners are scaling up pilot systems to validate technologies, aiming to reduce reliance on fossil-based resources. PROMICON's innovations offer circular solutions for the water and energy sectors, promoting sustainability and economic viability. The project invites stakeholders to join in bridging nature's ingenuity with industrial innovation for a bio-based future.
