An increasing demand for nutrients by the food industry causes a rapid depletion of our
natural resources. On the other hand, there is a surplus of nutrients present in waste
streams leading to environmental pollution. It has thus become necessary to
maximally close the nutrient cycles and migrate to a more sustainable resource
management.
The Biorefine project aims to minimize residue flows from the agro- and bio-industry
and economically valorize minerals recovered from these residue flows. At the same
time, the project serves as the secretariat of the strategic cluster ‘Biorefine Cluster
Europe’. This cluster brings together the industry, research institutes and policy
makers with regards to the development and market implementation of technologies
concerning biogas, bio refinery and nutrient recuperation.
