BBEPP has built up a significant expertise on gas fermentation and cultivation of acetogenic and Knallgas bacteria through several private collaborations with Arcelor Mittal, e.g., Valorco project and in an ISPT project with Syngip, Arcelor Mittal and Dow. Although the content of these private projects is confidential, the general experience gained will be helpful in the work aimed for in the proposed work. In addition, BBEPP is also involved in several European funded consortium based gas fermentation projects. In the BIOCONCO2 project, BBEPP is responsible for the construction mobile gas fermentation unit to be put on site at waste gas emitters and to convert these CO<sub>2</sub>-rich gases into chemical building blocks. In the BIOSFERA project, biogenic residues and wastes will be gasified and the syngas will be fermented using acetogenic bacteria to produce acetate which will be converted in a second fermentation process to bio-based triacylglycerides (TAGs). In the CO2SMOS project, biogenic CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and renewable H<sub>2</sub> are converted by innovative biotechnological and intensified chemical conversion process to develop the production of several bio-based fine and commodity chemicals (2,3-butanediol, long chain dicarboxylic acids, benzene, cyclic carbonates and polyhydroxyalkanoates). | BBEPP has built up a significant expertise on gas fermentation and cultivation of acetogenic and Knallgas bacteria through several private collaborations with Arcelor Mittal, e.g., Valorco project and in an ISPT project with Syngip, Arcelor Mittal and Dow.

=== NORCE Norwegian Research Center === | |||
The Industrial Biotechnology group at NORCE has been working for more than a decade on the optimization of many different kinds of bioreactions for valorization of waste streams, bioconversion, and greenhouse gas utilization, both at lab-scale and at pilot/industrial-scale. Most recently, we have been responsible for establishing the <2000L scale demonstration of a circular two-step fermentation converting CO2 and H2 to acetate in the first fermentation and then converting that acetate to acetone in a second fermentation, as part of the EU Horizon 2020 PyroCO2 project. | |||
