Iniziativa che ricade sotto il progetto “Spazi Espositivi per la Ricerca – Padiglione Italia EXPO2015” Accordo Quadro Regione Lombardia – Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, partner di progetto Unioncamere Lombardia

When: 5 Ottobre 2015
Where: Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Centro Congressi, Area della Ricerca Milano 1, Via Edoardo Bassini, 15, 20133 Milano (accesso diretto alla conferenza da Via Alfonso Corti, 14)

 

Agroindustry represents the second Italian manufacturing sector. Due to the characteristics of the waste produced, it is a candidate for playing a major role in a future "circular economy", as a source of  "green" high value-added production and/or renewable energy. The seminar will analyze the possibilities for energy and material recovery in agroindustries,  discussing some  technological innovations and presenting  the results achieved by a recent research project (ECO-SI project), co-financed by the Lombardy Region. The ECO-SI project is a pilot-scale investigation to recover cheese whey proteins and biofuels energy (biohydrogen and biomethane) from cheese manufacturing wastewaters.
