Hemp residues - reuse for food and energy recovery with oils

Description

Hemp stems are collected, their fibers are separated through maceration, fibers are fed to BSFL and the woody marrow is pyrolized

Sector

A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities

Needs/ Problem statement

There is a need for sustainable and efficient methods in the hemp supply chain to increase quality, valorize and reduce energy consumption.

Objective

Scarabeo project redesigned the maceration process to improve hemp fiber extraction and the hemp core is carbonized in a pyrogasifier to produce biochar.
