There are no barriers that hamper interactions and communications between Research Divisions, because they have been conceived to operate in an integrated manner. We deliberately seek opportunities to apply all core competencies in each R&D project, because we believe cross-disciplinary research can pave new avenues to scientific excellence. Molecular BiotechnologyRational design of industrial enzymes and…
The Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) is a non-profit private institution funded by the Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovations (MCTI). It consists of four National Laboratories: Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS), Brazilian Biosciences National Laboratory (LNBio), Brazilian Nanotechnology National Laboratory (LNNano) and Brazilian Biorenewables National Laboratory (LNBR). LNBR Overview…

Whenever possible we apply fundamental science to guide technology developments at semi-industrial scales. We focus on identifying creative ways to develop technologies and processes for the solution of industrial problems. We are committed to sustainability, by finding ways to minimize environmental impacts and to improve the competitiveness and economic feasibility of the technologies we develop…
The transition towards a bio-based economy requires assurance that biorenewables will minimize impacts on the environment, optimize the use of natural resources and promote socioeconomic benefits. In order to guide technology developments and to support decision-making processes at various levels, it is crucial to use of advanced modeling and simulation techniques to anticipate the impacts…
Enzyme discovery, mechanistic understanding at atomic level and rational design Enzymes are vital components in the production of Biorenewables from biomass depolymerization to conversion into added-value products and biofuels. Enzyme cocktails are instrumental to break down lignocellulose into advanced sugars and lignin that will be further fermented by engineered microbial platforms. A notable effort in…
Next-generation microbial platforms to boost biomass conversion into value-added products and fuels The design and development of robust and efficient microbial cell factories is the main core components of lignocellulose-based biorefineries. Microbial metabolism can be redesigned and rewired, creating efficient platforms to convert biomass-derived sugars into high added-value chemicals and biofuels, replacing petrochemical derivatives. Besides…
