Direct and indirect biorefinery technologies for conversion of organic side-streams into multiple marketable products
Updated on 21.06.2024
The aim of the project was to develop biorefinery processes as part of new value chains to convert under-spent side streams/residues from the agro-sector and processing sector into useful marketable products. Cascading processes (recovery of multiple compounds from the same feedstock) are envisioned to increase the conversion efficiency (product/ton biomass input) and maximise the values of the feedstock (euro/ton biomass input).
Relevance for Circular Systemic Solutions
This project offers a new prospect for cities and regions which are looking to increase the circularity and valorisation of side streams from organic and plant biomass in the agricultural, processing and retail sectors. The deliverables of the project provide detailed analysis of the project's work, as well as the legal framework and bottlenecks related to the use of insect derived products. Their reports also give recommendations for the uptake of their suggested methods of valorisation. These can help cities and regions in the Map and Design phases of CSS deployment.
Main results and lessons learnt
The project produced a number of relevant and useful outputs, including:
- Position paper with recommendations based on project conclusions
- Report summarising the legal framework and bottlenecks related to the use of insect derived products
- Updated report summarising the legal framework and bottlenecks related to the use of insect derived
