The club’s ambition is to facilitate innovations and accelerate the development of a unique fermentation-based protein ecosystem. Members of the Industrial Sounding Board are positioned at various points within the value chain of fermentation-based proteins. On the one hand\, there are companies developing fermentation processes\, while on the other\, there are companies producing side streams that can be used as feedstock for these processes\, and companies interested in incorporating fermentation-based proteins into their end products. The overall goals of the club are to connect the partners along this value chain\, foster the developing ecosystem\, and raise awareness about fermentation-derived proteins. During this event\, the core team of The ProteInn Club will link up with the full Industrial Sounding Board to discuss the latest developments in the fermentation-based protein landscape. Topics can include updates on ongoing projects\, interesting upcoming funding calls\, policy briefs\, and the presentation of new ProteInn Club members. This is a private event.

SUMMARY:Study Visit and Scale-Up Workshop @ BEST\, Austria
DESCRIPTION:Aim of the study visit and workshop:\nThe Austrian facility BEST – Bioenergy and Sustainable Technologies GmbH is pleased to host a study visit and scale-up workshop at its location in Wieselburg. \nThe event focusses on the implementation and piloting of thermochemical technologies (pyrolysis and gasification) for the valorization of local biomass\, residues and wastes. The thermochemical treatment enables the production of energy as well as renewable carbon products (biochar\, bio-oils and gases) for different applications such as agriculture\, plastics production or metallurgy. Within a local biorefinery concept\, a wide range of raw materials and residues\, preferably at the end of cascading utilization concepts\, can be used as feedstocks. \nThese concepts are to be tested\, evaluated\, piloted and demonstrated at the GreenCarbon Lab of BEST\, whose heart consists of two pyrolysis units: a laboratory-scale rotary kiln pyrolysis reactor and a pilot-scale double auger pyrolysis unit. Research activities focus on the testing of new input materials and on the upscaling of the process to obtain GreenCarbon products (biochar\, bio-oils and gases) with defined properties. \nThe event aims to connect regional\, national and international stakeholders in the bioeconomy network. The morning session (which includes the scale-up workshop) will be followed by a study visit to GreenCarbon lab. Plenty of networking opportunities are provided within the coffee break\, walking lunch and closing session. Moreover\, the visit of the GreenCarbon Lab will be organized in smaller groups to facilitate the participants’ interactions. \nPresentations:\nBEST 02_Wopienka_BEST_company_presentation \nBEST 03_Graefe_BEST_syngas_platform \nBEST 04_Schwabl_GreenCarbonLab \nBEST 05_Schwarz_Commissioning \nBEST 06_Klauser_CircularEconomy \nBEST 07_Mathis_Biochar_Architecture \nBEST 08_Feilmayr_Biochar_Steel_industry \nVisit the BEST websiteAgenda\n9:00-9:30 – Registration \n9:30-9:45 – Introduction to “Pilots4U powered by CoPilot” Platform & Database \n9:45-10:15 – Introduction to BEST and its GreenCarbon Lab and Syngas-Platform mission \n10:15-11:00 – Pyrolysis plants for biochar production: Technology overview\, integration and commissioning challenges \n11:00-11:30 – Coffee break \n11:30-12:30– Training Session: Market Opportunities – Best practice examples \n12:30-13:15 – Walking lunch break \n13:15-14:15 – Study visit: GreenCarbon Lab infrastructure \nFrom 14:15 onwards – Closing remarks\, feedback survey and open networking\, \nTarget audience\nAll bioeconomy stakeholders\, where possible with a focus on BioInnovators (Technology Owners). \nContact: \nManuel Schwabl\, manuel.schwabl@best-research.eu\nElisa Carlon\, elisa.carlon@best-research.eu \nSatellite events The ProteInn Club Industrial Sounding Board Meeting\nThe ProteInn Club is a collaboration between Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant\, Ghent University\, the Flanders Research Institute for Agriculture\, Fisheries\, and Food (ILVO)\, and CAPTURE.

Members of the Industrial Sounding Board are positioned at various points within the value chain of fermentation-based proteins. On the one hand\, there are companies developing fermentation processes\, while on the other\, there are companies producing side streams that can be used as feedstock for these processes\, and companies interested in incorporating fermentation-based proteins into their end products. The overall goals of the club are to connect the partners along this value chain\, foster the developing ecosystem\, and raise awareness about fermentation-derived proteins. During this event\, the core team of The ProteInn Club will link up with the full Industrial Sounding Board to discuss the latest developments in the fermentation-based protein landscape. Topics can include updates on ongoing projects\, interesting upcoming funding calls\, policy briefs\, and the presentation of new ProteInn Club members. This is a private event. Attendance by invitation only. \nSatellite events Seeing is believing: Study Visit to the Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant\nHop on the shuttle bus to the Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant and discover what scale-up is and looks like!
