Opis projektu
Wino odpowiedzią na problemy planety
Sektor winiarski może przyczynić się do realizacji działań ukierunkowanych na ograniczanie skutków zmiany klimatu oraz emisji gazów cieplarnianych. Zespół finansowanego ze środków Unii Europejskiej projektu REDWine proponuje innowacyjny model biznesowy oparty na zasadach gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym, który pozwoli producentom wina na skuteczne i opłacalne oczyszczanie ścieków oraz gazów powstających w czasie produkcji. Zaproponowana koncepcja stanowi wynik doskonałej synergii pomiędzy sektorami bioprzemysłu i skupia się na wykorzystaniu CO2 pochodzenia biologicznego powstającego w wyniku procesu fermentacji wina do produkcji i waloryzacji biomasy z mikroglonów. W ramach projektu REDWine powstanie prosta biorafineria w winnicy, w której będą powstawały zrównoważone, ekologiczne i konkurencyjne cenowo składniki żywności, kosmetyków, produktów rolniczych i preparatów do produkcji wina. Projekt realizuje stowarzyszenie AVIPE w partnerstwie z 11 powiązanymi podmiotami.
Cel
Motivated by an urgent need to mitigate climate change and, particularly, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from food value chains, REDWine focuses on the utilization of biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) from the wine fermentation process for microalgae biomass production and valorisation. A powerful synergy across bio-based industries results in REDWine’s innovative circular business model, which allows wine manufacturers to efficiently treat their liquid and gaseous effluents while profitably diversifying their revenues through the valorisation of Chlorella biomass into multiple high-value ingredients. The REDWine concept will be realized through the establishment of an integrated ‘Living Lab’ demonstrating the technical and economic viability of a system for collection and storage of the off-gas and liquid effluents of a 20,000L wine fermenter and its adaptation to microalgae cultivation and energy efficient harvesting technologies, in order to use 90% of the CO2 collected, to produce biomass. REDWine will demonstrate a circular concept through the development of a simple biorefinery to be deployed in the winery which will yield sustainable and cost competitive ingredients for food formulations (protein and fatty acids), cosmetics (peptides, carotenoid rich oils and active polysaccharides), agriculture (carbohydrates as vine biostimulants) and wine production (proteins for wine clarification). The proposed REDWine solution is expected to reduce the GHG emissions of the entire wine production value chain by at least 31% while potentially generating over €15M in revenues and creating 45 new jobs for a 7ML size winery on a 3-year time horizon. REDWine is led by primary producers, the AVIPE wine producers’ association, in partnership with 11 other very committed entities, including 7 SMEs, 1 LE, 2 RTOs and 1 UNI. The proposed consortium assures the all the needed multidisciplinary knowledge and a level of redundancy required for effective implementation of the project.
