Replacing soy with microalgae in feed? Can we make feed from wood? In this seminar we will explore biomaterials, biorefinery and bioprocessing from different perspectives, from research and development to industrialization and the investor perspective.

Norwegian salmon exports is targeted for a 5x increase within 2050. At the same time, we know that 70% of CO2 emission from farmed salmon is linked to feed. 

The need for more sustainable food production at sea and on land opens up new industrial growth areas for Norway. Wood, organic waste and other biobased materials and their side streams are an untapped resource. By using microorganisms, enzymes or chemicals, these materials may be turned into new foodstuffs, feed, pharmaceuticals, fuel or other materials. 

 In this seminar you will learn how biobased materials can be utilized from small scale to large scale industrial processes, in biorefineries or using bioprocessing to create biobased sustainable products and solution. 

The seminar was a part of Oslo Innovation Week community program

Date and place: 26.09.2022, Røverstaden (Vika, Oslo)
