Scaling Renewable Fuels and Chemicals for a Resilient European Industry: From Scientific Creativity to Innovation.
Come and hear about our @horizoneu.bsky.social project in Brussels in a couple of weeks! Register by this Sunday 15 March. 🌞 We will show how we combine #Nanomaterials and #SynBio to make solar fuel production more efficient.
@c5-project.eu will join too!

Our sister project @s2b-project.eu helped spearhead the “Sustainability Meets Scalability” event last year!
Over 200 people met to align research and innovation with industrial needs and policy ambition for sustainable fuels, chemicals, and materials. ♻️ 🇪🇺

Until now, these materials degraded too quickly for practical use. By combining three complementary strategies, Jasmin Fisher Balil and colleagues in Peter Schall’s research group have demonstrated month-long stability—overcoming a major technical barrier.
Partners at @uva.nl have achieved a breakthrough in stabilizing light-converting nanocrystals—materials that could improve microalgae cultivation for biofuel production and carbon capture. ☀️ 💠 🧪

Are you at #NWOphysics? Don’t miss Jasmin Fisher Balil’s poster presentation (today 13:00–14:10) on how to combine different stabilization strategies for red-emitting nanocrystals in spectral conversion foils. 🔵 〰️ 🔴
In our @horizoneu.bsky.social, he and his team are studying how microalgae can be genetically modified to increase oil production, CO2 fixation and energy storage, all for improving the production of solar fuels. 🇪🇺
Our partner from @w-u-r.bsky.social, @nicoc-micsynmet.bsky.social, is one of the 10 new members joining The Young Academy, a “dynamic group of top young researchers with outspoken views on science and science policy.” 💡

Our foils will use these nanocrystals to convert UV/blue light into the red wavelengths algae crave. The goal is to optimize algae to produce solar fuels more efficiently and sustainably. More at sunperform.eu
She will present her poster on how to combine different stabilization strategies for red-emitting CsPbI3 nanocrystals for use in spectral conversion foils.
Take this chance to also ask Jasmin how she and her team are developing nanocrystals for our #HorizonEU project.
Our project partner, Jasmin from the @uva.nl and SolarFoil, will present her poster at the NWO Physics conference in the Netherlands! If you’re attending, save a slot on your schedule. 📌
Wednesday January 21, from 13:00 to 14:10. Poster number 91

Our sister project shared how one of their partners at @scilifelab.se is engineering blue green algae to produce more biofuels. Take a look! 🦠⚙️
Super interesting! Thank you for sharing this glimpse of the people behind your project.
Welcome to the solar-to-x team!
Our team met at Córdoba to kick off our @horizoneu.bsky.social project last month! 🇪🇺
“It was a fantastic opportunity for everyone to dive into the plans for metabolic engineering of cyanobacteria.”
Partners sharer their experience and roles in the C5 project.
Thank you for hosting us @uco.es!
Last week, I attended the kick-off meeting for our EU-funded C5 project in Cordoba, Spain. It was great to discuss our plans for the metabolic engineering of Cyanobacteria in detail with all partners, and I really enjoyed the visit to sunny Andalusia.
