On 29 June, CLIB organised in collaboration with the NWO-funded Dutch project MicroSynC<\/a> the first in-person C1 ThinkTank meeting since the Corona pandemic. Under the motto \u201cFrom Ideas to Action \u2013 Envisioning the Future of Gas Fermentation\u201d numerous members of the MicroSynC consortium, of the ITN-EJD ConCO2rde<\/a> project, and of the established CLIB C1 community joined the event in the inspiring close-to-nature venue near Lunteren, Netherlands.<\/p>\n In two inspiring input talks, Koen Quataert from Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant and Robin Post van der Burg from Torrgas shared many facts and experiences. Koen presented his view on the design, commissioning, and operation of BBEPP\u2019s mobile gas fermentation container that is in service since beginning of the year at various sites. Robin shared his vision of an easy-to-use container application for the torrefaction of agricultural residues minimising the climate-damaging burning of agricultural waste.<\/p>\n Core of the ThinkTank meeting was a three-stage group work on shaping the future of gas fermentation. Together with all participants we brainstormed, discussed, and challenged ideas by looking at potential gas sources, industrial customers for the products, and marketing and communication tools. With a specific focus put on the possibilities and challenges in the use of mobile pilot plants for gas fermentation we identified ways of linking (syn)gas emitting industries with potential customer industries using the products of a gas fermentation process.<\/p>\n
