- Honors & Awards- Awarded to Ilja Gasan Osojnik ČrnivecGold medal, top five projects, several nominations iGEM 2015 - International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) Competition. Sep 2015 Our main goal was to produce biofuel using biodegradable organic waste in a sustainable way with a sufficiently high yield and good separation options of the final product. In order to make our project as efficient and sustainable as possible, we were aiming to transform butyric acid, which was produced and available as a product from another bioprocess (anaerobic digestion) to biobutanol, an alcohol with high energy content and relatively low solubility in water.
