About the project
Global environmental situation creates an urgent need for more sustainable transportation fuels.
NewLiEP project was prepared for a consortium consisting of Terranol (DEN), SEKAB (SWE) and Kanteleen Voima (FIN). The consortium will further develop and optimise the fermentation concept for lignocellulosic ethanol production and demonstrate its feasibility in near-industrial scale. The project will prepare the concept for commercialisation on a licensing basis through involvement of a customer to implement the technology as a result of techno-economic validation.
Impact of the project:
Ethanol made from lignocellulosic biomass is suitable for substituting fossil fuels in transportation and has potential to reduce greenhouse gas emission by up to 80%, compared to fossil fuels.
Funding instrument Horizon 2020 FTI
Spinverse’s role
Spinverse supported the consortium of partners from Denmark, Sweden and Finland in the preparation of high-quality proposal for Horizon 2020 funding.
Spinverse helped the partners crystallise their project concept and bring out a story that stands out. Spinverse also assisted the members of the consortium in the funding proposal and grant negotiation procedures.
Spinverse helped us clarify the project concept to take the technology forward, as well as create a compelling storyline to stand out among other applicants in the highly competitive FTI funding scheme.
