Name:
Biomolecular and energetic enhancement of residual biomass in the agrindustrial sector
BIO4BIO

Developed by:
Italy

Country(ies) involved:
Italy

Funding sources:
National

General idea:
Support the development of integrated enhancement processes starting from the production waste of the agroindustrial and fish sectors

Description:
BIO4BIO developed a system for processing agro-industrial and fish wastes in new products for the functional food industry or animal feed in line with the biochemical characteristics of the wastes. An innovative low power consumption drying system able to dry the organic matrix and use it in the feed production for the zootechnical industry or for the production of pectin, an essential element in the Functional Food Industry and the Pharmaceutical one was developed.
Additionally advanced pyrogasification processes able to transform solid biomass fraction into gas producer and systems of biochemical conversion of carbon dioxide,recovered by industrial installations , through processes of algal growth, were developed.

TRL:
