He is experienced with programs such as MATLAB, Maple, SPSS, R, Simapro and e!sankey. Niels de Beus is project coordinator of PULP2VALUE within nova-Institute. The Horizon 2020 project, led by agro-industrial cooperative Royal Cosun, aims to demonstrate an integrated and cost-effective cascading biorefinery system to refine sugar beet pulp and isolate high value products for detergents, personal care, oil &amp; gas, paints &amp; coatings and composites. Nova-Institute is responsible for the sustainability assessment including market research, techno-economic evaluation, Life Cycle Assessment, and the establishment of a communication and dissemination strategy. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pulp2value.eu\" target=\"_blank\">www.pulp2value.eu<\/a><br \/>\nFurthermore, Niels de Beus is involved in European projects such as COSMOS and MultiHemp.<\/p>\n<h3>Other running projects:<\/h3>\n<p>COSMOS \u2013 COSMOS aims at reducing this dependence by turning the currently underutilised domestic oil crops camelina and crambe into profitable, sustainable, multipurpose, non-GMO European oil crops for the production of oleochemicals. In this project, nova is responsible for the dissemination and is conducting the techno-economic evaluation.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/cosmos-h2020.eu\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/cosmos-h2020.eu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>MultiHemp \u2013 the project aims to use genomic approaches to improve hemp productivity and advancing understanding of gene-to-trait relationships, combined with innovations in agronomy, harvesting and processing methods to generate sustainable products from improved varieties. The nova-Institute is responsible for the preparation of an integrated sustainability assessment of the envisaged hemp biorefinery based on a techno-economic analysis and a life cycle assessment (LCA) of the whole production chain. <a href=\"http:\/\/multihemp.eu\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/multihemp.eu<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Contact:<\/h3>\n<p>Niels de Beus<br \/>\nPhone: +49 (0)2233-48-1468<br \/>\nEmail: niels.debeus@nova-institut.de<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Niels de Beus, M.Sc, studied biotechnology at Wageningen University (NL) with a focus on process technology and started working at nova-Institute afterwards.
