Goals and innovation

To build a sustainable and low carbon society, Green Innovation shifting from oil-refinery to bio-refinery should be significantly important research area. “Biorefinery” is a excellent technology to produce biofuels, bio-plastics, bio-fibers, bio-chemicals from biomass using carbon dioxide as a recyclable resources. iBioK establishes the “BioProduction”, which can produce fules and chemicals from cellulosic biomass. A big paradigm shift made possible by iBioK project, changing the oil-dependent target products produced from oils to bio-based products.

Targets and Impacts

Putting bio-based key target products into the markets from iBioK achieves the green innovation shifting from oil-based products to bio-based products. iBioK considers three targets; bulk chemicals such as “Biofuels and Biochemicals”, “Bioplastics and Biofibers”, and “BioFineChemicals” with high additional values. Alcohols, diols, organis acids, diamines, amino acids, aromatic compounds have been produced as biofuels, biochemicals, bioplastics and biofibers with enough impacts. Value-added sugars, functional inositols, peptides, phospholipids have also been produced as BioFineChemicals. As a fundamental technologies, biomass resrouces, cellulases, bioreactors and separation process have been developed to widely diffuse iBioK BioProduction.

Establishment of Bioproduction leads to generate novel huge market with various target products. IbioK has an large impact on less dependent on oil, biomass conversion, reduced CO2 emission, encouragement of the agriculture, forestry and fisheries industry.
