Process overview: the extraction of protein from grass
The advantages of grass fields
Protein from grass can significantly increase cattle, pig, and poultry producers' climate footprint. The grass fields can also result in more sustainable and better utilisation of the areas. The advantages include:
- Minimising weeds at crop rotation without the use of pesticides
- Helping the soil to absorb water during heavy rain
- Detaining water during drought
- 4x harvest during a season of 6 month
How grass contributes to the production of organic biogas
In addition to the extraction of protein from grass, the factory can also contribute to the production of organic biogas.
The factory uses the by-product (squeezed grass etc) to increase the production of biogas. This will ensure optimal use of the by-products from the production of organic grass protein seeing that they will be part of a recirculating and sustainable cycle. The remains of the dry material and liquid are transformed through the biogas plant into green energy. The subsequent remains are spread out on the grass fields where they once again will be a part of the recirculating cycle.
