The worldwide demand for vanillin is not covered by natural deposits, the major part is obtained synthetically through a process that is harmful to the environment. Researchers at the Mainz University developed a process to produce vanillin from wood waste in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way. The team around Prof. Waldvogel uses an electroorganic method as a green alternative.

Two projects within the Priority Programme “Bioelectrochemical and Engineering Fundamentals to Establish Electro-biotechnology for Biosynthesis – Power to Value-added Products (eBiotech)” (SPP 2240) have been accepted.
A sustainable method for generating vanillin from wood processing waste has been developed within the SusInnoScience framework in the Lab of Siegfried Waldvogel and it has been published by Zirbes et al. in 2020.
