Participation in the European Symposium on Biopolymers 2025
We are proud to share that our postdoctoral researchers, Dr Jannis Bröker and Dr Marilia Horn, recently represented the BIOSTORE project at the European Symposium on Biopolymers (ESBP 2025), held in Lisbon from October 1–3, 2025.
Their participation highlighted our ongoing research into bio-based materials for energy storage, with a particular focus on sustainable components for batteries. In an era of increasing energy demand and environmental awareness, developing renewable, biodegradable, and high-performance materials is essential to reduce our reliance on fossil-derived resources.
The presented poster, entitled “Green polysaccharide binder systems for aqueous electrode slurry processing” is an interdisciplinary work between two partners of the project (IMMB and MEET) and contributed to the broader dialogue on how biomass-derived materials can play a pivotal role in creating greener battery technologies. This work aligns with the principles of a circular bioeconomy, where waste is minimized, resources are reused, and sustainable innovation drives industrial transformation.
Their presence at ESBP 2025 underscores the BIOSTORE commitment to integrating biotechnology, materials science, and environmental responsibility to help shape the future of clean energy systems.
