Aarhus University has a unique green biorefinery demonstration platform at AU Viborg, Foulum. Here, The Green Biorefining Technologies Group from Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering process and test agricultural and marine biomasses, such as clover, alfalfa, seaweed, and exotic biomasses from abroad. The biomass is transformed into products that contribute to a more sustainable and biobased society, such as protein for food, animal feed, biomaterials, bioenergy, and biofertilizers.
In Denmark, there is huge potential for growing more perennial green crops with significant environmental advantages. The Danish agriculture is one of the most efficient in the world, but it has environmental challenges, for example with the leach of nutrients and the consumption of pesticides, which green perennial crops like grass and clover can remediate. By increasing our domestic agricultural biomass production and green biorefining capacity, we can begin to rely less heavily on imports like soya.
