The lignin fraction of plant biomass is a highly abundant but currently underutilized renewable resource. On the other hand, finding ways to utilize CO2 is strongly encouraged for environmental reasons. LingCO2 aims to address challenges related to the biological upgrading of these two potential but challenging carbon sources. In the research, multidisciplinary methods related to molecular and metabolic engineering, bioanalytics, and bioprocess engineering are employed.
