Social Entrepreneur in Kloof, South Africa

I am a social entrepreneur and bioeconomy consultant, who is involved in the cleantech space. My focus is on the conversion of biomass into chemicals and energy products. Besides Butanol and ethanol, my specific interest are the conversion of (a) C5-sugars (pentoses), found in the hemicellulose, into furfural and (b) C6-sugars (specifically fructose) into Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF). Both of them are a bio-renewable platform chemicals derived e.g. from sugar cane. My main activities centre on being the interface between technology, marketing, innovation and business success, which is achieved with the support of a small team of innovative minded professionals.

We provides (tech) solutions for missing links to create bioeconomic value chains, e.g. how to turn a corncob into rocket-fuel!

I live in Kloof (KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa), was born and educated in Zürich (Switzerland). I arrived in SA in 1979 and became South African citizen in 1992. I enjoy travelling, music, photography and art .. especially if I can share it with my family.

"ora et labora": I believe, especially in today's business environment, that Saint Benedict's precept to partner contemplation with action results in a fulfilling lifestyle!
