Transforming organic waste into biobased succinic acid
LUCRA is a Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) funded initiative on a mission to revolutionise biobased chemicals. Ten industrial partners and renowned research centres from seven countries representing the whole value chain from feedstock to products have joined forces to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of transforming organic waste into bio-succinic acid on a pre-industrial scale.
By combining cutting-edge thermal and enzymatic technologies, innovative fermentation and electrochemical processes, LUCRA, led by Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant, Belgium will pave the way for a sustainable, resource-efficient, and circular bioeconomy.
