The project is about developing a plant that can extract protein from organic grass. It will be a climate-friendly alternative to the soy protein. The first plant is being developed at Ausumgaard, R&D’s partner, and will also contribute to the production of organic biogas by using the by-products from the manufacturing of grass protein.
