The agricultural sector has been facing significant challenges, such as the need to increase food and fiber production in a context of limited natural resources and increasing pressure to prevent climate change. The intensification of the use of chemical inputs to increase productivity has generated high environmental and economic costs, including the contamination of groundwater and the …
Studies aiming a low carbon economy, with the premise of sustainable exploitation of renewable resources to offer concrete solutions to the great challenges of social, economic and environmental areas are increasingly needed for the development and innovation of industrial processes in the so-called bioeconomy. Considering that cellulose is the most abundant carbohydrate in nature, formed…
This proposal intends to face technological challenges put forth by a new conception of integrated biorefinery, taking advantage of synergies between the production processes of the two most important biofuels in the Brazilian context: 1st and 2nd generation bioethanol from sugarcane, and biodiesel from vegetable oils and of microbial origin. With this purpose, researchers with large expe…

Several fungi and bacteria have been employed in agriculture as biocontrol agents, and the success of this application is linked to the production of antibiotics and secondary metabolites, such as lytic enzymes (²-glucanases, mannanases, proteases, and chitinases), responsible for degrading the cell wall of phytopathogens. The use of these enzymes in bio-input formulations for agriculture…
Brazil is an agribusiness powerhouse, with an emphasis on soybean, corn, and sugar cane crops. However, it imports almost 80% of all mineral fertilizers utilized. Allied to this data, it is known that most of the environmental impacts are associated with the use of fertilizers and pesticides in the crops. Therefore, it is necessary to search for more sustainable alternatives for tradition…
In the 2G ethanol production process by the enzymatic route, a complete scarification of the cellulose structure is not achieved, especially in processes with high solids loading. This residual solid fraction of the scarification process is a material with crystalline characteristics, which allows its use in the form of nanocellulose. Nanocellulose, whether in the form of nanofibers or na…
The processing of lignocellulosic biomass in biorefineries can release compounds that act as inhibitors of the enzymatic hydrolysis and alcoholic fermentation steps. Among these inhibitors, the phenolic compounds originated from lignin degradation can inhibit or deactivate the enzymes during the hydrolysis reaction, significantly impacting the overall yield of the conversion of plant biom…

This proposal of international cooperation entitled "multi-objective optimization of biofertilizer production considering economic and environmental aspects" in execution through the FAPESP grant 2020/15450-5. We aim to develop this proposal in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Krist V. Gernaey from the Technical University of Denmark. This international research internship has the objective, th…
Thermoelectric devices interconvert heat and electricity, leading to a more sustainable, cleaner and safer energy technologies. Traditional inorganic thermoelectrics materials are restricted by rigid geometries and use of expensive components with low earth abundance. Highly porous nanocellulose aerogel feature exceptional thermal insulators and, in combination with conductive polymers, h…
Lipases (triacylglycerol hydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3) are enzymes of great industrial interest, because they are able to catalyze triacylglycerides hydrolysis, esterification and transesterification reactions. Aiming to find potential producers of lipase, in the initial stage of this work it was carried out a screening of filamentous fungi that were grown in plates and subsequent confirmation b…
