PHA biomethane isoprene lactic acid mono-terpenoids furoic acid integrated electro-bio- chemical technologies renewable energy sources, CO2 and water elbic n 2 Fermentative conversion of C1 intermediates Contact In the domain of fermentative conversion of C1 intermedi- ates, Fraunhofer IGB focuses on Methylobacterium species for the production of isoprene and monoterpenes, and on Lactobacillus species for the production of lactic acid. In order to adapt the strains to the C1 substrate, various variants of the biocatalysts are investigated by means of screening methods. The corresponding fermentation processes are optimized by varying the process parameters. Subsequently, the process- ing of the fermentation products in the context of the entire heat and material l ow management is further developed and integrated into the technology platform. Outlook The development of the central issue of a technology platform with a combination of CO2 recovery from the air, electrochemical i xation in water-soluble C1 intermediates and subsequent fermentative preparation of basic chemicals such as isoprene and i ne chemicals such as lactic acid is still in its early stage. Nevertheless, this concept provides access to a CO2-neutral chemical production, which can redei ne today’s chemical industry. Dr. rer. nat.
