The €8.7 million “Rural BioReFarmeries” project will advance the development of farm-centered bioeconomy approaches through the deployment of green biorefineries across grassland regions of Europe.
Two primary green biorefinery and anaerobic digestion demonstration sites in Ireland and Denmark will optimize the conversion of grasses, clover and green biomass residues sourced from local farms into value-added products such as human and animal grade protein, bio-based food packaging, flavors, anti-microbials, fertilizer and energy, in collaboration with upstream research and industrial sites in the Netherlands, Ireland, Denmark and Poland.
