项目摘要

Harnessing biology to produce the chemicals, materials and fuels of the future (biomanufacturing) is expected to displace our unsustainable dependency on fossil fuels such as oil. One unaddressed problem is that biomanufacturing processes generate significant quantities of microbial waste which requires processing and safe disposal. This adds to the costs and energy use of biomanufacturing companies, reducing their economic viability and eroding their sustainability credentials.DeakinBio has recently developed a method to produce a sustainable bio-based alternative to ceramic tiles that involves the combination of organic biopolymers with inorganic powders such as calcium carbonate. In this project, we will explore the feasibility of using microbial waste generated through C3 Biotech's biomanufacturing processes as the organic component in our tiles. This collaboration is beneficial to C3 Biotech due to the potential of creating a valuable product from an unavoidable waste they produce, and for DeakinBio to secure a biopolymer source to produce their ceramic-like biocomposite materials. This project would therefore improve the circularity of both companies, and improve the viability and sustainability of biomanufacturing in the UK.The desired outcome of this collaboration would be a sustainable ceramic-like tile that has an 80-90% lower carbon footprint compared to conventional tiles by utilising microbial waste generated from C3 Biotech's biomanufacturing processes.

利用生物来生产未来的化学品、材料和燃料（生物制造）有望取代我们对石油等化石燃料的不可持续的依赖。一个未解决的问题是，生物制造过程产生大量的微生物废物，需要处理和安全处置。这增加了生物制造公司的成本和能源消耗，降低了他们的经济可行性，并侵蚀了他们的可持续发展证书。DeakinBio最近开发了一种生产可持续生物基瓷砖替代品的方法，该方法涉及有机生物聚合物与碳酸钙等无机粉末的组合。在这个项目中，我们将探索使用C3 Biotech生物制造过程中产生的微生物废物作为瓷砖中的有机成分的可行性。这项合作对C3 Biotech有利，因为他们有可能从他们产生的不可避免的废物中创造出有价值的产品，并为DeakinBio确保生物聚合物来源以生产他们的类陶瓷生物复合材料。因此，该项目将改善两家公司的循环性，并提高英国生物制造的可行性和可持续性。此次合作的预期成果将是可持续的陶瓷瓷砖，与传统瓷砖相比，通过利用C3 Biotech生物制造过程中产生的微生物废物，碳足迹降低80-90%。
