Phoenix BMC biomass project for breweries

At the BrauBeviale 2023 trade fair stand, the Head of Product Development, Mr. Ralf Schneid, will be presenting the Phoenix BMC model for a biomass project for breweries. Phoenix is a building block from the company’s Pronomic concept. Pronomic stands for a solution with which breweries can supply themselves independently and self-sufficiently with energy by utilizing the residual materials from the brewing process. The model illustrates the individual steps: in the first step, valuable substances are extracted, mainly protein from the residues. These proteins are supplied to industrial partners for the production of meat substitute products. In the second step, liquid mineral fertilizer is obtained, which is in demand in agriculture. The remaining residues are used to generate energy in a biogas plant; the energy obtained is sufficient to cover the entire brewing process.

Module 1 for protein extraction has already been completed, marking a milestone. It can be placed on the market in this form. Stage 2 for fertilizer production and stage 3 are well into the development process and should be completed in the course of 2024.
