UNIVERSITAET HOHENHEIM
We convert biomass and agricultural waste streams into value-added products, including biochar, activated carbon, platform chemicals, and fertilizers. We develop and organize value chains for our products, extending from rural regions to applied and industry-near applications. Our focus includes the implementation of ‘on-farm’ biorefinery concepts, leading to new perspectives and utilization opportunities for potential stakeholders. Our processes thrive on iterative assessments and analyses conducted by computational tools for sustainable process development.
Partner Role in C4B
UHOH mainly participates in the development of the holistic framework (WP5) and the environmental and sustainability assessment (WP7) of the case studies. The investigated case studies by UHOH are agricultural, residual streams from the cultivation of apples, potatos and wetland biomasses for the production of platformchemicals like Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). The results of these work packages will feed into the business model development (WP6), in which UHOH will be active consultatively.
