Transforming biobased resources into the desired products requires customized processes and technological solutions. The processes need to successfully integrate knowledge about the properties of both the resource used and the biocatalyst, ensuring that reasonable yields and high levels of productivity will be produced and thus good process economy. The methods of transformation will vary dependin

Enzymes used for industrial catalysis (also called biocatalysts) have to meet a great number of requirements. They originate from living organisms, usually microorganisms, and they have a basic function to transform specific biological substances inside that organism, so that the transformed molecules can be used in metabolism. To be used industrially they must become robust enough to tolerate an

The biomass raw material consists of a large number of different chemical compounds – both small molecules and large (macro)molecules. The main macromolecules are cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, but there can also be a considerable fraction of lipids. Cellulose and hemicellulose are carbohydrates (although variously modified in hemicellulose), while lignin is a complex macromolecule composed

Just because a product is produced using renewable raw materials and with biotechnological methods, it does not make it automatically more environmentally friendly. Using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), we can attempt to quantify the total environmental impact resulting from the entire life cycle of a product – from production of raw material, via processing, use of final product, and finally to wast

Within Lund University there is a significant research effort towards developing new materials and polymers. The building of both the European Spallation Source, ESS, and MAX IV in Lund has already begun to provide exciting new possibilities to study the internal structures and properties of these materials.

In microbial catalysis, whole microorganisms (usually yeast or bacteria) are used to convert biomass into the desired product. Through genetic modification of the cell, metabolic engineering, evolutionary adaption, and/or optimization of the conditions for the process (such as temperature, nutrition, oxygenation, etc.), it is possible to control a microorganism to produce the precise product requi

In almost all industrial processes the separation of different components is needed. A variety of different techniques can be used at all stages; during pre-treatment of the raw material, during the downstream processing of the reaction solution, and lastly when concentrating and purifying the final products. Researchers work with separation technology at Lund University for use within bioprocesse

The main directive of LUBIRC is to foster greater collaboration amongst researchers, with the long-term aim of promoting research towards new biobased products and processes. At LUBIRC you can find the collected knowledge of Lund University’s researchers on biobased products and processes. We work primarily towards the development of completely new products and processes, but also the replacement

What do we mean by a "circular" or a "biobased" economy? Why are these important and how do we get there? The most pressing concern the world has today is how to adapt our way of life in order to prevent further damage to our environment. Predictions of a future changing climate have become real, and with new reports daily of vanishing ecosystems, wild weather, and polluted habitats, it is clear t

In their Research and Innovation Strategy for a Biobased Economy, Formas, the Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development defined a biobased economy as based on: A sustainable production of biomass to enable increased use within a number of different sectors of society. The objective is to reduce climate effects and the use of fossil-based raw materials. An increased added value for bioma

Traditionally, our economy has been thought of as "linear"; raw materials are manufactured into products, used by consumers, and then thrown away once they are no longer useful. By reusing and recycling, however, we not only reduce our usage of raw materials, but also recoup much of their financial value in the long term. A circular economy aims to close the loop by recycling all products and mini

Initialt finansierades MKC av Cancerfonden och MFM av sjukvården i Malmö. Fram till 2005 hade vi möjlighet att tillhandahålla prover och datauttag utan kostnad. Idag måste dock vår verksamhet intäktsfinansieras. Vår största utgift är personalkostnader. Vi har en heltidsanställd datamanager och en heltidsanställd projektkoordinator.
