Specific Challenge:Fermentation processes have showed their efficiency for the production of a wide range of industrial products such as alcohols, acids, proteins, amino acids, and specialty carbohydrates. Although enabling milder processing conditions and the production of innovative molecules, their industrial uptake is hindered by the fact that actual yields at industrial scale are normally much lower than theoretical ones. Beyond strain capacities, industrial fermentation yields are strongly limited by factors like strain inhibitors (from upstream or from the fermentation), process set-up (including downstream processing of the produced molecules) and scale of the operations. Overcoming limitation of industrial process' yields is essential to improve the competitiveness of the processes and the target products, in particular for high added value products resulting from complex metabolic pathways.
Scope:Demonstration of the techno-economic viability of fermentation processes by showing a significant increase of yields for a specific molecule or categories of molecules. Proposals should address the specific limiting factors of the considered targeted valu...

Specific Challenge:Fermentation processes have showed their efficiency for the production of a wide range of industrial products such as alcohols, acids, proteins, amino acids, and specialty carbohydrates. Although enabling milder processing conditions and the production of innovative molecules, their industrial uptake is hindered by the fact that actual yields at industrial scale are normally much lower than theoretical ones. Beyond strain capacities, industrial fermentation yields are strongly limited by factors like strain inhibitors (from upstream or from the fermentation), process set-up (including downstream processing of the produced molecules) and scale of the operations. Overcoming limitation of industrial process' yields is essential to improve the competitiveness of the processes and the target products, in particular for high added value products resulting from complex metabolic pathways.
Scope:Demonstration of the techno-economic viability of fermentation processes by showing a significant increase of yields for a specific molecule or categories of molecules. Proposals should address the specific limiting factors of the considered targeted value chain: renewable feedstock, microorganism, and product. Proposals will address the integration of the fermentation process with the subsequent downstream step and will consider process intensification strategies such as in-situ product recovery, strain recycling or continuous fermentation. Proposals could consider the demonstration of downstream processing (purification technologies) if required in view of the substance produced. A Life Cycle Analysis should be carried out in order to evaluate the environmental and socio-economic performance of the developed process. Proposal will assess products demand and will consider market pull related activities (e.g. standardisation, consumers’ perception) aimed at facilitating the market uptake of the developed products. The leading role of relevant industrial partners is considered essential to achieve the full impact.
It is considered that proposals with a total eligible budget of up to EUR 15 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals with another budget.
Expected Impact: Higher process yields of at least 20% compared to the state of the art; Cost reduction of at least 15 % compared to conventional down-stream processing of the fermentation broth; Increasing the overall productivity will further lead to more economically feasible processes proved in demonstration scale. Contributing to realising the objectives of Key Enabling Biotechnology under Horizon 2020 and dedicated EU policy in so far as to addressing the development of scientific and technological know-how in biotechnology and its translation into industrial products and solutions of societal challenges.

Características del consorcio
:
La ayuda es de ámbito europeo, puede aplicar a esta linea cualquier empresa que forme parte de la Comunidad Europea.
Características del Proyecto
Los costes de personal subvencionables cubren las horas de trabajo efectivo de las personas directamente dedicadas a la ejecución de la acción. Los propietarios de pequeñas y medianas empresas que no perciban salario y otras personas físicas que no perciban salario podrán imputar los costes de personal sobre la base de una escala de costes unitarios
Los otros costes directos se dividen en los siguientes apartados: Viajes, amortizaciones, equipamiento y otros bienes y servicios. Se financia la amortización de equipos, permitiendo incluir la amortización de equipos adquiridos antes del proyecto si se registra durante su ejecución. En el apartado de otros bienes y servicios se incluyen los diferentes bienes y servicios comprados por los beneficiarios a proveedores externos para poder llevar a cabo sus tareas
La subcontratación en ayudas europeas no debe tratarse del core de actividades de I+D del proyecto. El contratista debe ser seleccionado por el beneficiario de acuerdo con el principio de mejor relación calidad-precio bajo las condiciones de transparencia e igualdad (en ningún caso consistirá en solicitar menos de 3 ofertas). En el caso de entidades públicas, para la subcontratación se deberán de seguir las leyes que rijan en el país al que pertenezca el contratante
