LEITAT at the 61st SEPAWA Congress in Fulda, Germany

Rosa Escudero from LEITAT Technological Center will present a talk about “Bio-surfactants: novel surfactants from renewable resources” at the 61 SEPAWA Congress and European Detergents Conference, the largest home and personal care industry forum in Europe, which takes place in Fulda, Germany, from October 15-17. The talk on biosurfactants represents part of the work performed by LEITAT under the FP7 project BioConSepT. BioConSepT is a 13 million Euro project funded by the KBBE program of the EU, and coordinated by TNO. The project intends to convince and inspire stakeholders of the Bio-based Economy by demonstrating the complete feasibility of an integrated chain approach, which is regarded as the basis for the next generation industrial White Biotechnology processes. The aim is to deliver processes that convert 2^nd generation biomass into valuable chemicals, which are 30% cheaper and 30% more sustainable than the corresponding chemical routes or the biotechnology processes starting from 1^st generation feedstocks like glucose.
