Presentation of Prof. Costa at the short lecture evening: “KoNaRo: Straubing researches for sustainability. For 20 years”

The topics at the short lecture evening on Thursday, November 11 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. are as diverse as the focal points of the work at KoNaRo – Competence Center for Renewable Resources. Under the title “KoNaRo: Straubing researches for sustainability. For 20 years”, six speakers will present their forward-looking topics.

Bio-based LEDs are the topic of Prof. Dr. Rubén D. Costa from the TUM Campus Straubing. LEDs are considered the future of artificial lighting and are particularly popular because of their low power consumption. But are they really a sustainable technology that our grandchildren will still be using? After all, they also come with some disadvantages, such as problematic ingredients. A more sustainable alternative could be protein-based LEDs, which Prof. Costa will present in the lecture.

Guest article by Prof. Costa on the Bioeconomy Year of Science

Prof. Rubén Costa from the Chair of Biogenic Functional Materials at TUM Campus Straubing has written a guest article on the bioeconomy for the “Science Year” portal, published by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. In the section “Heads of Change”, Prof. Costa writes about how bio-LEDs can be used to light up the world and thus protect the environment.
