SynoProtein

SynoProtein is a project funded by Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking. SynoProtein project aims to develop, mature, and demonstrate a novel carbon-negative process that enables high value creation from sawmill by-products through carbon capture and use (CCU). The consortium has developed an innovative process for the vertical integration of by-products from sawmill industry, i.e., feedstocks comprising only residues (no sawlogs), and conversion into fish feed ingredients, i.e., single cell protein (SCP), along with the production of biochar for animal feed. Thus, our process can provide novel, sustainable protein sources, as opposed to conventional energy- and climate-intensive soybean and resource-limited wild fish protein production routes to meet future demands.
