Project: Sustainable Use of bioMass from Oleaginous processing
The aim of the SUMO project, Sustainable Use of bioMass from Oleaginous processing, is to develop different but complementary valorisation routes for the sustainable use of the main oily seeds processing byproducts. The general expected result is the design of several alternatives of biorefinery units adaptable to the current biomass processing and consumption sites in the participating Countries, where the oil seed processing sector is very important. The alternatives will be enough flexible to process vegetable processing byproducts and finding synergies with other complementary wastes generated in the nearby. The valorisation routes to be developed comprise the use of the biomass and its components in human consumption, feed, biofuels and energy.
