Project description
Waste not, want not: decentralised valorisation of biowaste
Organic waste is a sustainable natural source of chemicals that can be used to make other products. However, typically the breakdown products from the anaerobic digestion of biomass by bacteria that is used in centralised waste management are landfilled and their potential unexploited. The Finnish SME FimusKraft has developed the FimusKraft Biogas Plant (FKBP) that converts biowaste into highly energetic biogas, high-quality bio-fertilisers and valuable raw materials. The FKBP can be used on site in a decentralised way to valorise biomass from farming, fisheries, food and beverage industries, restaurants, households and more. The EIC-funded FKBP project will help the team scale up its innovation with important impact on the European Green Deal goals.
