New products from syngas fermentation via energy conservation biochemistry

开发从可再生资源中生产商品化学品(目前从石油中提取)的新技术是一个重要的行业重点。如果能够解决这种方法的关键生化能源限制以扩大产品范围，那么从废物或植物生物质中提取的合成气合成这些重要的商品化学品具有巨大的潜力。这项研究将确定一种新途径中关键步骤的可行性，该途径可以解决这一问题，并允许开发工艺，从高度灵活的气体资源合成数十亿欧元的商品化学品，这种资源可以从工业和生活垃圾中获得。

Developing new technologies to produce commodity chemicals (which are currently derived from petroleum) from renewable resources, is a substantial industry focus. Synthesis of these important commodity chemicals from syngas derived from waste or plant biomass has great potential if the key biochemical energy limitations of this approach can be addressed to broaden the product range. This study will determine the feasibility of a key step in a novel pathway which could address this issue and allow process development for the synthesis of a multi billion Euro commodity chemical from a highly flexible, gaseous resource which can be obtained from industrial and domestic waste.
