Project BioCOnversion

Carbon monoxide (CO)-containing process gases are abundant in the Flanders-Netherlands-North Rhine-Westphalia area through numerous industrial sites. These process gases can be valuable feedstocks for the biotechnological production of plastic precursors that are currently produced via petrochemical routes. VITO is one of the international partners in the recently started BioCOnversion project, that will investigate innovative bioprocess such as gas fermentation to achieve this goal.
