Biomass Processing
In the laboratory for biomass processing, we extract and process products from various types of marine, land-based, and microbial raw materials.
Biomass and biomaterials
SINTEF has many activities related to processing and utilization of marine- and land-based biomass. Research on land-based biomass mainly focus on the use of residues from agriculture and forestry as raw materials for production of bio-based chemicals, materials and energy. Research on marine biomass also include isolation of valuable products, including biopolymers, that are used to design functional biomaterials for industrial and biomedical applications.

Projects
Biotechnological Valorization of Fruit and Vegetable Waste into Sustainable Food Coatings, Packaging, and Biofertilizers for Agriculture (LOOP)
LOOP converts agri-food waste into biopolymers for sustainable packaging, coatings and biofertilizers, reducing food waste, fossil materials and emissions through circular biotechnology.
BlueGreenFood: Innovating Sustainable and Healthy Food Alternatives with Seaweed and Plant-Based Proteins
BlueGreenFood aims to develop sustainable methods to preserve and use seaweed, ensuring stable supply, reducing climate impact, and creating healthy products in circular value chains.
Circular Low Trophic Feed Production from Industrial Sidestreams (GP CIRCFeed)
The project aims to transform industrial waste streams, biological rest materials and surplus energy into valuable feed ingredients to reduce Norwayʼs dependence on imported feed raw materials.
