Figura 1. ¿Qué es la bioeconomía? - BIOVOICES presenta un nuevo libro para niños

Europa está construyendo un "mundo diferente" para las generaciones futuras, promoviendo un consumo, producción y estilo de vida más sostenibles, a través de las políticas del Pacto Verde y las iniciativas que apoyan la bioeconomía, en particular la Estrategia de Bioeconomía actualizada de 2018. A pesar de estos esfuerzos, la mayoría de las personas a menudo desconoce las terminologías relacionadas con la bioeconomía, las aplicaciones de base biológica en la vida diaria y las tecnologías detrás de las innovaciones producidas por la investigación y las bioindustrias. Este libro promoverá la bioeconomía y las soluciones de base biológica, de manera fácil e integral, sensibilizando sobre la producción, el consumo y los estilos de vida sostenibles, a través de la educación, involucrando a los niños de 5 a 7 años y a sus padres, abuelos, maestros y otros adultos que leerán el libro junto con y para ellos.

La información se construyó a partir del conocimiento adquirido en el contexto de proyectos financiados por BIOVOICES, Biobridge, BIOWAYS y LIFT H2020 y ha sido validada por expertos de alto nivel del mundo académico y la industria. La versión piloto del libro se imprimirá en 6.000 ejemplares en 10 idiomas (inglés, italiano, portugués, español, griego, holandés, alemán, rumano, eslovaco, estonio) y se distribuirá en escuelas seleccionadas, librerías, museos para niños y contextos institucionales.

Type of post: NEWS IN BRIEF. Eni met with the president of Tuscany, Eugenio Giani, and the mayors of Livorno, Luca Salvetti, and Collesalvetti, Adelio Antolini, to confirm that the company is investigating the opportunity to build a new biorefinery at Eni's industrial site in Livorno. Press release: " Eni considers the possibility of building a third bio-refinery in Livorno ", 17/10/22. Related posts: " Eni opens its second HVO biorefinery in Italy ", 27/09/19. The feasibility study involves building three new plants for the production of hydrogenated biofuel: a biogenic feedstock pre-treatment unit, a 500,000 tons/year Ecofining™ plant and a plant for the production of hydrogen from methane gas. The construction of the new bio-refinery – located in an industrial area which houses fuel and lubricant production facilities – would maximise synergies from the infrastructure already available and secure the site's future as an employment and production hub.

Versión en Español Type of post: Fact sheet. Series: Biobased chemicals – Organic acids. Publication date: 25/05/2021. Last update: 25/05/2021. Description - C6 aliphatic dicarboxylic acid. - White crystalline powder. - Other names: hexanedioic acid; 1,4-butanedicarbocylic acid. Applications - Monomer for the production of nylon 6,6. - Monomer for the production of polyurethane. - Manufacture of plasticizers and lubricants. - Gelling and acidulant agent (food grade). Conventional petrochemical route - Oxidation of cyclohexane to produce KA oil (cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol) / Nitric acid oxidation of KA oil. During the final reaction, the highly potent GHG nitrous oxide (N2O, 300 times more potent than carbon dioxide) is formed. It has been estimated that replacing the current petrochemical-based process with one employing renewable precursors will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 95%, depending on the process used (1). Main biobased routes - [Muconic acid via] Fermentatio...
