About
This workshop focuses on the sustainable production of bioethanol using non-conventional yeasts and agro-industrial wastes. Traditional bioethanol production often faces challenges such as high feedstock costs and limited sustainability. By utilizing dairy and agricultural residues, we aim to address these barriers while promoting a circular economy.
Participants will explore the fundamentals of bioethanol production, delve into the metabolic engineering of yeasts, and analyze innovative pre-treatment and fermentation technologies.
Module 2
Aim
To explore innovative metabolic engineering techniques for non-conventional yeasts to produce bioethanol from dairy and agricultural waste, contributing to renewable energy solutions. Participants will gain knowledge on waste valorization, yeast optimization, and sustainability.
