Best CO2 Utilisation 2022 award nomination
08.03.2022
Acies Bio's innovative biotech platform OneCarbonBio™ has been nominated for Innovation Award “Best CO2 Utilisation 2022” within the framework of the “Conference on CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals” taking place in Cologne on 23-24 March 2022.
OneCarbonBio™ is based on a set of microbial hosts, capable of growing on CO2-derived substrates in industrial-scale fermentation in the same way the standard microbes use plant-derived sugars. The strains come with a powerful synthetic biology toolbox which allows our scientists to quickly reprogram their metabolism an produce different classes of biological molecules and biomaterials. OneCarbonBio™ is the first platform to fully leverage the power of microbes to extremely efficiently convert CO2 into diverse biochemicals and materials for everyday life without relying on arable land and food chain materials. Martin Kavšček, Senior R&D manager at Acies Bio will attend the conference and present the potential of the newly developed technology among five other six nominees.
About the conference
The “Conference on CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals” in Cologne, Germany at 23-24 March 2022 (http://www.co2-chemistry.eu), is one of the most established worldwide and has developed into a unique meeting and networking place for the entire Carbon Capture & Utilisation (CCU) and Power-to-X industry and its customers. The first day will focus on green hydrogen production, carbon capture and CO2-based transport and aviation fuels, the second especially on CO2-based bulk and fine chemicals. CCU technologies are essential to meet the future demand for carbon from renewable sources.
