Hvordan og hvornår bliver grøn bioraffinering rullet ud i praktisk produktion? Oplæg til en ROADMAP

Aspekter, der har betydning for gennemførelsen af grøn bioraffinering

Protein fra græs til en konkurrencedygtig pris

Økonomiske vurderinger i forhold til værdikæden for Grøn Bioraffinering

Nærværende notat vurderer de økonomiske potentialer ved såkaldt Grøn Bioraffinering, det vil sige raffinering af græsprotein til protein, som er fordøjelig for blandt andet svin og fjerkræ. Notatet er udarbejdet som en del af projekterne BioValue (støttet af Innovationsfonden) og OrganoFinery (støttet af Miljø- og Fødevareministeriets Grønt Udviklings- og Demonstrations Program). Beregningerne i notatet bygger dels på publicerede data og dels på data og informationer fra projektpartnere i de to forskningsprojekter. Beregningerne vedrørende bioraffineringen bygger på resultaterne fra Biovalue AP2, proteinfremstilling, og udgør 80 procent af aktiviteten, mens fremskaffelse og håndtering af økologisk biomasse bygger på resultater fra OrganoFinery og udgør 20 procent af aktiviteten. Notatet er udarbejdet som en del af platformen "Socioeconomics, Sustainability and Ethics (SeSE)” i BioValue-projektet

Green biomass – protein production through bio-refining.

The aim of this report is to summarize our present knowledge on the bio-technical as well as economic issues in relation to value creation of green biomass in Denmark. This includes many types of knowledge from the different types of actors included in activities going on at present in this field. To start the work, a kick-off workshop was held in Copenhagen in January 2016, where a range of stakeholders from many fields enthusiastically expressed their views and ideas as regards what to include and take into account in the report. We have tried to include these as far as possible. Thus a number of persons have contributed directly in the writing process whereas as others have contributed with particular overall insight

Forudsætninger for en succesfuld etablering og kommercialisering af økologisk græsprotein i Danmark. En interessentanalyse

Resultater fra en interessentundersøgelse blandt landmænd, virksomheder og organisationer med interesse for græsprotein. Undersøgelsen viser stor interesse for græsprotein, der indikerer et markedspotentiale. Undersøgelsen identificerer også vigtige spørgsmål, der skal besvares, før en kommercialisering kan påbegyndes

Concepts for a multi-criteria sustainability assessment of a new more biobased economy in rural production landscapes

This study presents a new approach to model the biophysical potentials for increased biomass harvest in Denmark, and a multi-criteria sustainability assessment of the socio-economic and environmental effects of different scenarios for such increased production and new biobased economy in rural landscapes. Thereby the results serve as input to the ongoing productivism – post-productivism debate related to rural spaces in Europe. Empirical results from a case study of large scale conversion to biorefenery technologies, aiming to increase the total Danish harvest of biomass by 10 million tonnes via the conversion to new types of crop production and land management, is used as an example, and will be related to the common conceptual model presented by the workshop convenors, and a so called “Traffic-light” multi-criteria sustainability assessment scheme introduced and exemplified in the present paper. The aim is to contextualize how the problems in relation to the concrete scenario results can be considered with the landscape as the meeting basis, and used as input for a discussion of innovative models for future farming systems, landscape research and management

Protective role of vitamin B6 (PLP) against DNA damage in Drosophila models of type 2 diabetes

Growing evidence shows that improper intake of vitamin B6 increases cancer risk and several studies indicate that diabetic patients have a higher risk of developing tumors. We previously demonstrated that in Drosophila the deficiency of Pyridoxal 5' phosphate (PLP), the active form of vitamin B6, causes chromosome aberrations (CABs), one of cancer prerequisites, and increases hemolymph glucose content. Starting from these data we asked if it was possible to provide a link between the aforementioned studies. Thus, we tested the effect of low PLP levels on DNA integrity in diabetic cells. To this aim we generated two Drosophila models of type 2 diabetes, the first by impairing insulin signaling and the second by rearing flies in high sugar diet. We showed that glucose treatment induced CABs in diabetic individuals but not in controls. More interestingly, PLP deficiency caused high frequencies of CABs in both diabetic models demonstrating that hyperglycemia, combined to reduced PLP level, impairs DNA integrity. PLP-depleted diabetic cells accumulated Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs) that largely contribute to CABs as α-lipoic acid, an AGE inhibitor, rescued not only AGEs but also CABs. These data, extrapolated to humans, indicate that low PLP levels, impacting on DNA integrity, may be considered one of the possible links between diabetes and cancer
