Resumen

Biorefinery of residual biomass using biochemical conversion technologies is strongly increasing worldwide and constitutes the shift towards a bio-based economy (concept of green business). Bioeconomy concept is currently very strong in Latin America considering Biorefinery as a source of novel ideas on how to bioconvert lignocellulose in biomass with high-solids concentration obtaining products with high added value. In this regards, new approaches are needed such as the development of biomaterials for several applications in coordination with the other sub-programs, bio-based inputs and nanobiotechnological products. In order to accomplish the needs, the overall goal of “Biorefinery and Agroindustrial Biotechnology” sub-program is to constitute a strong research group of four PhD in the first years of cooperation (2021 – 2025), dealing with three main research strategies identified as priorities in the concept note: 1) Development of bio-based inputs, 2) biomaterials and 3) Nanobiotechnological products with agro, food, environmental and industrial applications.

Objetivo General

  • To reinforce research capacity at IIDEPROQ (UMSA) to handle research tasks within the area of biomaterials and other potential biochemicals for new biorefinery applications
