Developing Blue Bio-Industrial Symbioses
Blue-Green Bio Lab supports local authorities in exploring bio-industrial symbioses across aquaculture, agriculture and industry. The aim is to reduce emissions while increasing the production of valuable bio-based products.
The project investigates how green and blue biomass can be used in industrial symbioses to ensure a more efficient and sustainable use of both agricultural land and marine resources.
Activities are carried out by partners in Denmark, Sweden and Latvia, in close collaboration with stakeholders across sectors to identify and develop circular bio-industrial solutions.
Project partners also engage with decision-makers to address regulatory barriers and opportunities within national and EU legislation.
Throughout the project, a series of policy briefs are developed. These focus on the potential of different biomass types, stakeholder involvement in co-creation processes, and key barriers to circular bio-industrial symbioses within existing frameworks.
The knowledge and experience gained are brought together in a practical toolbox designed to support local authorities in managing the complex collaborations behind bio-industrial symbioses.
Blue-Green Bio Lab is funded by Interreg Baltic Sea Region.
The project contributes to key European strategies, including HELCOM’s nutrient recycling agenda, the EU Water Framework Directive, the EU Circular Economy Action Plan, and the Soil Mission for 2030.
