AgriLoop

The AgriLoop consortium aims to eco-efficiently upgrade under-exploited residues into a portfolio of high added-value bio-products able to generate new bio-based markets or to compete with, and gain market share of, oil- and food crop based equivalents.

AgriLoop will develop bioconversion processes integrated in a cascading biorefinery approach to convert a range of agri-residues (from e.g. tomato, soy, straw, potato, brewery, oil, winery and livestock sectors) into plant and microbial proteins, polyesters and other bio-based chemicals to be used for food, feed, and materials applications, especially by the farming sector. 

The primary goal of this work of Wageningen Food & Biobased Research is to generate early estimates of production yields from agri-residues to protein and biopolymer products, as well as assessing the environmental impacts of these bioconversion routes and applications. Knowledge gathered in developing the CAT-BREVIA Tool will be used and further elaborated. This knowledge contributes to a better quantitative understanding of the potential of e.g. microbial protein production and bioplastic production.
