Interested organizations can get free samples of high-quality isopropyl palmitate for testing in their current or future formulas. It is also possible to get enzymatically produced isoamyl laurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These esters, which are produced by an enzymatic process with lower reaction temperatures&nbsp;than conventional chemical reactions, can be characterized as a \u201cgreen product\u201d with the&nbsp;following advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Higher purity<\/li><li>Lower odour score (less VOCs)<\/li><li>Lower environmental footprint<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you interested? You can get a 250ml sample for free! Please send your request for a sample of\u00a0enzymatic isopropyl palmitate\u00a0and\/or for\u00a0enzymatic isoamyl laurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Training<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One key activity of the project is the development of a series of 10 online learning modules, which are accessible for free on an open platform. Anyone with a background in basic chemistry or physics is welcome to follow the learning modules. The expected learning time is about 4 to 6 study hours per module. All INCITE partners have the content ownership of one or more modules, which are about topics related to the enzymatic production of green chemicals. The totality of the learning modules forms a coherent set starting with the considerations, advantages and disadvantages of the more general underlying technologies and green chemistry principles used in INCITE to the more advanced and applied integrated demonstration cases developed in the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enroll for free on the&nbsp;website of CAPTURE Academy&nbsp;coordinated by Ghent University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A series of webinars is offered with intertwined content to the learning modules. Each webinar relates to a learning module and includes a Q&amp;A session. The webinars are recorded and made available on the\u00a0INCITE YouTube\u00a0channel for replay. In spring 2022 the webinar series was launched with 5 sessions. The second part of the series is foreseen in the first semester of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General Assembly in Belgium<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In October 2022, the INCITE project partners met in Belgium to discuss overall progress of the project activities. The next meeting will be held in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"892\" height=\"566\" src=\"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-08.53.35.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-118771\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-08.53.35.png 892w, https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-08.53.35-300x190.png 300w, https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-08.53.35-150x95.png 150w, https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-08.53.35-768x487.png 768w, https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-08.53.35-400x254.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 892px) 100vw, 892px\" \/><figcaption><em>The INCITE consortium at VITO in Mol, Belgium<\/em> <strong>\u00a9<\/strong> Incite<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Duration: 52 months (September 2019 &#8211;&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>December 2023) | Total budget: \u20ac 17.4 M<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>INCITE has received \u20ac 13.3 M funding from the European Union\u2019s Horizon 2020 Research and\u00a0Innovation Programme on the Topic CE-SPIRE-04-2019 &#8211; Efficient integrated downstream processes (Grant Agreement number 870023)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Launched in September 2019, the INCITE project aims to demonstrate novel integrated upstream and downstream processing paths involving flow chemistry and membrane technology in chemo-enzymatic processes.
