About the project
The goal of the FuturoLEAF project is to design a solid-state cell factory (SSCF) that efficiently captures CO2 and light by using photosynthetic microbial cells and nanocellulosic building blocks, enabling efficient chemical production. The design utilises leaf-inspired nanocellulose frameworks for enclosing photosynthetic living cells. This prevents solar energy loss, reduces the water required and enhances production efficiency compared to traditional suspension mass culturing.
Impact of the project:
The project revolutionises the photosynthetic cell factory concept and expects to reach a better production efficiency of target chemicals improved up to 6-fold compared with the current systems.

Spinverse’s role
Spinverse supported the project by making a quality check to the funding proposal draft and helped the FuturoLEAF consortium in editing and finalising the proposal to make it a winning one.
With the support from Spinverse, our ambitious targets will now be concretized. The special expertise from Spinverse in addressing all the critical details during the preparation phase earned us a winning proposal.
