"Lipid biotechnology" comprises the microbial production and biotechnological transformation of lipids

Oil and its derivatives are important raw materials for oleochemistry. 

  • In Biowave_IB, we investigate the use of fat, oil and grease from different waste sources to produce valuable chemicals. 

There is a growing need for alternative non-fossil oil resources 

  • This is the reason why we investigate the ​production of microbial oil from waste streams.

We take circularity seriously!
