We organised a site visit for European Commission's DG GROW to some of our members in the NorthSeaPort area today, to see the bio-based industries in action - upscaling innovation and getting bio-based products onto the market! First, we were shown around the Cargill site, including the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) flagship biorefinery ENOUGH/PLENITUDE in Sas van Gent (The Netherlands). At this first-of-a-kind PLENITUDE biorefinery, a fermentation process is used to produce mycoprotein, a food ingredient derived from a filamentous fungus Next, a stop at the Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant in Ghent (Belgium) where companies can use the facilities to process development, scale-up and custom manufacture their innovative bio-based products and processes. On the visit were: (From DG GROW) Kerstin Jorna, Maive Rute, Hubert Gambs, andreea pantazi, Kerstin Ringler, Angeliki Nasou, Hanna Freienstein, Maarit Nyman, Giulia Del Brenna, Emilia Tiuttu, Melisa Duman and Jonas Lazaro-Mojica; (from the CBE JU) Virginia Puzzolo and Luisa Mascia; and from BIC, Dirk Carrez and Marco Rupp
