H2value - Hydrogen-to-value: Utilization of hydrogen as a renewable resource for the biotechnological production

Biocatalysis holds great potential for the utilization of renewable resources, but requires chemical energy from agricultural products. H2value investigates the use of green hydrogen to supply electrons for biocatalytic whole-cell biotransformations. The development of hydrogen-driven biotechnological processes for the synthesis of biobased polymer precursors will allow the coupling of redox biocatalysis to renewable energy and thus make a substantial contribution to a circular economy.
