Our research projects

View all our projects

DRANCO has been actively involved in numerous European and locally funded research projects, focusing on the valorization of organic side streams through anaerobic fermentation. These collaborations have allowed us to contribute to cutting-edge developments in sustainable waste treatment and resource recovery.

One of our key innovations is the Carboxylic Acid Platform (CAP)—a versatile technology developed by DRANCO for the production of lactic acid, ethanol or short- to medium-chain volatile fatty acids from organic waste streams. This platform transforms side streams into valuable biochemicals through fermentation processes.

Whether you're initiating a new research project or seeking a partner with proven expertise, DRANCO is ready to support your innovation journey.
