Biochemical technologies offer versatile pathways to transform biomass, organic residues and
CO₂ into valuable products that support a sustainable bio-based economy. We develop and
improve biological routes that transform diverse feedstocks into renewable energy carriers,
chemicals, and nutrient-rich materials, following the principle of cascading utilization.

Our work focuses on microbial and enzymatic systems capable of selectively converting
heterogeneous feedstocks into targeted compounds. This enables the production of gaseous and
liquid energy carriers, basic and high-value chemicals, and biofertilizers. Key activities include
process scale-up, downstream processing, and microbiological optimization.

Biotechnological routes offer significant advantages: they operate at low temperature and
pressure, require less energy, and allow complex syntheses in a single step. Their high selectivity
and tolerance to variable feedstocks make them ideal for climate-friendly and resource-efficient
process designs.

Our application areas include biogas technology, microalgae biotechnology,
electrofermentation, industrial and agricultural residue utilization, CO₂-based gas
fermentations, and wastewater treatment.
