DE14-GrassBiowert/BWERT

Novel bio-based products from meadow grass

Description

Grass biorefinery to produce bio-based materials and energy

Sector

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

Needs/ Problem statement

Displacement of fossil based products with bio-based alternatives, while offering rural diversification opportunities.

Objective

The biorefinery processes meadow grass silage into a variety of alternative bio-based products including bio-composites, bio-based insulation material, fertiliser and biogas.
