Label Date March 12, 2024
From Germany
Maturity stage TRL 6 / 7 - Prototype demonstration 1:1

Our process converts waste (sunflower meal) into high-protein food and feed (protein value higher than soybean meal) as well as a green energy source, solving two fundamental problems facing humanity: climate protection and nutrition.

The Environmental Benefits

  • A high quality protein source alternative to soybean meal
  • An alternative energy source in the form of pellets or for biomass production
  • 1 ton of non-GMO sunflower extraction meal, eliminates the need for 1 ton of genetically modified soybean meal
  • Sunflower meal is produced from a native plant, in contrast, 1 ton of soybean meal requires 1,000 GJ of additional energy to get from Brazil to Europe (0.1 MJ/ton-km×10,000 km=1,000,000 MJ=1,000 GJ)
  • Each ton of soy saved protects 0.357 hectares of rainforest.

The Financial Benefits

  • Revenues of between € 2.4 and 24 million per year and licence possible
