Novis GmbH products

The Ministry of the Environment, Climate Protection and the Energy Sector (Baden-Württemberg) has approved the BW2Pro project. Co-financed by EU ERDF funds, a pilot project for the recycling of biowaste will be carried out at the Backnang disposal plant. Under the leadership of the University of Hohenheim and the Institute for Water Management (University of Stuttgart), an innovative process for recovering products from organic waste will be implemented from March 2022. The organic waste will be subjected to thermal pressure hydrolysis, the cooking water will be used in an innovative biogas reactor and the fibers will be processed into plant pots and tableware. In addition, cellulase and bioplastics (PHA) are also produced by other partners and nutrients are recovered in pure form.

In collaboration with Continental and the University of Tübingen, Novis is working on scaling up PHB production in the PHBMAX project. The declared aim of the project is to develop and operate photobioreactors. The aim is to create reactors with a total volume of 10m³. The biomass produced will be used by Continental vollständog to carry out test series. One aim of the project is to utilize CO₂, which is generated as waste or residual material during production or in industrial processes. The recycling of this raw material and the associated return to the carbon cycle is economical and supports the fight against climate change.
