Key substance: Carbon
ZeroCarbFPApproach
Use of carbon-containing waste streams instead of fossil, limited resources(such as petrol)
Substitution of food- and agro-based raw materials and chemicals(fuel-food-discussion)
Implementation of bio-based processes instead of physical/chemical ones

PL 1: Improving on-site biogas productionConsiderations
Carbon available for biogas production
Carbon available for SCO-production
Carbon available for both processes
Carbon not yet used
Assumptions
• A notable amount of organic C is not available for anaerobic digestion
• Likely, specifically adapted functional biomass is able to convert a part of this C into SCO
• SCO and lipids in general are easily degradable anaerobically
• Anabolism vs. catabolism of microorganisms
• Net-energy-balance should be positive

• Scale up:• Growth of promising
combinations (substrate/organism) in bioreactors
• Lab-scale digestion to assess biogas production (ongoing)
• Optimisation of growing media (e.g. pre-treatment) and organisms

• Quantity and composition of accumulated/produced SCO (measured as FAME) depend on substrate
• Lab-scale results with artificial media (glucose) could be verified with real wastewaters
• Promising composition of SCO (e.g. high content of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids)
PL 2: SCO for industrial use Example: Composition of accumulated SCO
• Optimisation of growing media (e.g. separation of growth- and accumulation phase, using different types of wastewater)
• Growth phase: balanced growing medium• Accumulation phase: high C/N-ratio
• Upscaling (bioreactor)
• Separation of accumulated SCO from biomass• Extraction protocol
• Production of a specimen to be tested by industry
PL 2: SCO for industrial use Current work and next steps
Conclusion and outlook
• Microorganisms (functional biomass) able to accumulate SCO, using wastewater as substrate, have been identified
• Wastewater treatment was linked with biotechnological approaches
• Improvement of biogas production (PL 1) possible; depending on energy balance• Conversion of waste C to valuable products (SCO for industry) possible (PL 2) • Substrate and/or microorganisms will further be optimised and adapted
• Development of extraction protocol / Assessment of integration into systems
