Bakkafrost’s Applecross hatchery will use pyrolysis to create a circular process for aquaculture waste, producing biochar fertiliser for use in forestry.
The project, led by the University of Vigo in Galicia, uses proteins derived from filamentous fungi fermented with industrial macroalgae waste to produce proteins.
According to NSC, up to 33% of all food produced globally is lost or wasted each year, and just a quarter of that would be enough to feed the world’s undernourished population.
This project is a collaboration between Universidad Austral de Chile, Cerveza Kunstmann, the Institute of Science and Technology of Food, and the AQUAIST Laboratory.
