Visit our @horizoneu.bsky.social project website at sunperform.eu to learn how we plan to make solar fuel production more efficient.

Our sister project, @s2b-project.eu, will also join. Yagut Allahverdiyeva-Rinne @utu.fi will present “From biomass to biocatalysis: harnessing photosynthetic biotechnologies for sustainable bio-production”.

Our project coordinator, Sarah D'Adamo from @w-u-r.bsky.social, will talk about how to move “Towards Industrial Photosynthetic Factories:
 A SUN-PERFORM Perspective”. Catch her presentation on Wednesday 3 December at 12:20 CET.

Igor Vunderink also presented a poster titled “Implementing an ATP-battery in N. oceanica for improved photosynthesis“. It focused on the genetic implementation of an ATP-battery in #microalgae that could lead to improved microalgal growth and lipid production.

Áureo Cutillas Farray presented his poster “SUNPERFORM – Implementing a synthetic carbon fixation route in Nannochloropsis oceanica” where he detailed how he and his team are engineering synthetic pathways that could improve photosynthetic efficiency and net #CarbonFixation in this microalgae.

Sarah D'Adamo, our project coordinator, introduced our approach to improve the efficiency of #SolarFuel production in her talk “Cell Factory Design to Bio-Based Chemicals: The potential of industrially attractive microalgae in modern #biotechnology.”

Also present were members of our advisory board who shared their feedback and suggestions.

We opened with a seminar by Peter Schall on nanocrystal fluorescence. Then heard from each partner on what they have been working on, from integration of synthetic CO2 fixation pathways in microalgae, to foils that can coat challenging geometries, and the sustainability assessment of our approach.

Her thesis “Assessment of Tools and Methodologies for LCA and TEA of Advanced Biofuels: a preliminary case study on the SUN-PERFORM project“ is available at webthesis.biblio.polito.it/id/eprint/37...

Thanks for sharing @s2b-project.eu! This sounds like a really nice event! We’re happy to see or coordinator is joining :D
