Giotto Biotech together with Saturno project partners was awarded with the “IR20 Piemonte Innovazione e Ricerca 2020” award in the green economy category.

An important confirmation that innovation in the circular economy and synergies between industry and research are the ways to go for a sustainable future.

SATURNO is a strong network between industry and research, a practical example of circular economy for the creation of new processes and new products starting from biomass and waste materials. As a matter of fact SATURNO biorefinery aims to develop urban systems and industrial systems that are sustainable from both environmental and economic point of view.

Partners involved:

Acea Pinerolese, Asja Ambiente Italia, Buzzi Unicem, Officine Cornaglia, CRF, Entsorga Italia, Environment Park, Gaia, Giotto Biotech, Grinp, Hysytech, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Iren, LCE, Merlino, Modelway, Nuova Carrozzeria Torinese, Novamont, Politecnico di Torino, RAMS&E, Step, Università di Torino, Università del Piemonte Orientale, Up to farm.

Our project Saturno website is now online. Saturno project is financed by Piemonte region and it aims to develop a circular bioeconomy chain through the creation of new processes and new products, with particular attention to the recovery and reuse of carbon dioxide.
Two of the challenges to be faced to make urban territories and industrial production sustainable from an environmental point of view, are the capture and conversion of CO2 into useful compounds and the transformation of urban waste into raw materials for agriculture and industry.

Nearly 100 people, representatives of the 26 partners of SATURNO (universities, research centers, companies), met at the Envipark for the official launch of the project.

SATURNO (acronym of Organic waste and Carbon dioxide Transformed into carburates, fertilizers and chemical products; concrete application of circular ecoNOmia) is a research project that aims at developing an integrated approach for the complete exploitation of waste matrices (including carbon dioxide) generated by the treatment of organic waste.

In particular, the project is divided into three research areas:

  • creation of high added value compounds from the organic fraction of solid urban waste, in a sustainable biorefinery perspective;
  • capture and enhancement of CO2 produced by cogenerators, cars and cement plants;
  • separation and enhancement of waste plastics for the production of new components for the automotive sector.
