This project explores the potential for industrial symbiosis, enabling stakeholders to collaborate on using bio-based by-products for energy, nutrients, and materials.
Background
With increasing pressure on resources and sustainable solutions, a circular economy is vital for the value chains of the future. This project focuses on how resources from land-based aquaculture can be used to minimize waste and support local industrial clusters by incorporating biomass and by-products from aquaculture.
Project Goals
The goal is to develop industrial symbiosis where sludge and other by-products from aquaculture are converted into energy and biochar, which can be used in other industries. The project aims to contribute to sustainable growth and resource utilization within the region.
Progress
The project is investigating various technologies for treating and converting sludge into usable resources, such as biochar and heat. The results may provide a foundation for implementing circular solutions in the region.
