Description and objectives

The CERNET project will demonstrate Sustainable Bio-Based Value Chains (BBVC) for producing high-value chemicals and ingredients from biogenic gaseous carbon. These emissions, sourced from bio-based industries such as wineries, waste treatment plants, and bioethanol production, will be captured and converted using innovative technologies.

Through 3 demonstrators in Italy, Bulgaria-Slovenia, and Spain, six high-value products will be obtained: L-alanine, protein hydrolysate, L-malic acid, sorbitol, PHA, and ectoine.

Value proposition

Validate the use of biogenic carbon in high-value applications within the bioeconomy.
Develop technologies for capturing and converting CO₂ and CH₄ into sustainable products.
Demonstrate four complete BBVCs from raw material to final use.
Integrate social, environmental, and economic criteria under the Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) approach.
Enable replication of CERNET’s solutions through digital tools and bio-based business models.
