AgriChemWhey: transforming dairy waste into new added-value products
Updated on 21.06.2024
AgriChemWhey's overall objective is to build a first-of-a-kind industrial-scale and economically successful biorefinery with integrated symbiotic industrial and agricultural value chains to valorise dairy waste.
More information
More specifically, the project aims to:
- Optimise and scale-up process biorefinery technologies
- Establish a new dairy processing by-products to high value-added products value chain
- Establish industrial symbiosis with local partners to valorise side streams arising from the biorefinery process
- Ensure techno-economic viability and successful long-term commercial operation of the biorefinery
- Develop a blueprint for replication of the AgriChemWhey model in other regions across Europe
Relevance for Circular Systemic Solutions
This project can serve as an example and inspiration for cities and regions working on CSSs related to bioeconomy. The project website can help interested parties with updates through the newsletters and press releases. Specially, actors aiming to scale up biorefineries with integrated symbiotic industrial and agricultural value chains to valorise dairy waste can benefit the most from this project's work.
