PROFIT Protein Revolution: Obtain Feed Ingredients from Wastes for Green Transition ("PROFIT")
| The aim is to develop an integrated technology for organic waste treatment resulting in significantly lower carbon footprint approximately 1-2 kg eq. of CO2 for proteinous feed production by biological methanation, nutrient recovery and single cell protein (SCP) production for animal feed. This will be achieved by addressing three objectives: 1) Technical: Electrochemical N and P recovery from digestate, and systems analysis of the proposed technology for the process. 2) Social: By accepting to collaborate in the development and acceptance of PROFIT the agricultural sector becomes part of the community. In this respect, PROFIT contributes to the social dimension of sustainability, since it provides new opportunities to the agricultural sector, namely its involvement in the co-creation of a product that benefits the economy and the environment. 3) Economic: the sustainability and economic feasibility of PROFIT will be evaluated using life cycle, techno-economic assessment and market penetration actions at each level of development. |
