RESOLVE

ReSolve, a 4.3 million EU project focused on replacing traditional, fossil-based solvents, with safer bio-based ones, was officially launched on 15 th June 2017. Led by the University of York, the project consortium is comprised of 11 partners from 5 countries and is due to finish in November 2020... The project covers the whole process chain from optimized biomass production to product development and exploitation. In a first step, two industrial bioproduction platforms will be explored: the green alga Botryococcus braunii and the green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, to which the unique hydrocarbon and polysaccharides producing genes from Botryococcus will be transferred. Biomass cultivation is targeted to reach a pilot scale.
