Development of BioMara’s sustainable biorefinery for biomanufacturing new products from residual ‘waste’ streams and sustainability improvements

BioMara是一家英国生物技术初创公司，研究和设计生物制造方法，并开发未来的先进生物产品。BioMara的创新英国资助的可行性项目的重点是研究可持续的，零废物的过程中，在英国的生物精炼厂的设计拉动英国来源的海洋养殖海藻生物质的巨大需求。通过对剩余“废弃”生物质的价值化，BioMara将改进现有工艺，实现零废弃物系统，从而形成具有多种收入来源的创新级联生物精炼概念。可持续性调查将包括生命周期分析和整个价值链的改进或干预目标，以提高BioMara 'sea-to-sellables'产品组合的可持续性证书。上游项目合作伙伴KelpCrofters将研究减少稳定和干燥海藻的能源消耗/成本的方法，包括脱水或青贮的影响。在此可行性研究中，将研究和开发创新的生物制造技术和工艺，重点是持续和一致地生产有价值的，BioMara旨在通过刺激创造直接和间接的就业机会，收入多样化的机会，更有弹性的沿海社区和支持政府的倡议，如净零。BioMara的基本战略是通过与供应商、沿海社区、学术机构和行业参与者合作，帮助新兴的英国海藻产业在蓬勃发展的英国蓝色生物经济中发展。BioMara的根本目标是对环境产生积极的影响，包括减少碳排放和海洋再生。海藻产业的发展支持联合国可持续发展目标，如气候行动和水下生命（可持续发展目标1，2，3，5，7-15）。

BioMara is a UK biotechnology startup researching and designing biomanufacturing methods and developing future advanced bioproducts. BioMara products will have improved and differentiated properties following research-backed laboratory-based product development.BioMara's Innovate UK-funded feasibility project is focused on investigating sustainable, zero-waste processes in the design of a UK-based biorefinery pulling significant demand for UK-sourced ocean-farmed seaweed biomass. Through the valorisation of residual 'waste' biomass, BioMara will improve the existing processes, moving towards a zero-waste system resulting in an innovative cascading biorefinery concept with multiple revenue streams. Sustainability investigations will include a Life Cycle Analysis and targets for improvements or interventions throughout the value chain to improve the sustainability credentials of BioMara's 'sea-to-sellables' product portfolio. KelpCrofters, the upstream project partner, will investigate methods to reduce energy consumption/costs in stabilising and drying seaweed including the impacts of dewatering or ensiling.Innovative biomanufacturing technologies and processes will be researched and developed in this feasibility study focusing on the continuous and consistent production of valuable, sustainable products using traceable UK feedstocks for provenance.BioMara aims to effect social and economic impact by stimulating the creation of direct and indirect jobs, income diversification opportunities, more resilient coastal communities and support of government initiates like Net-Zero. BioMara's foundational strategy is to help grow the emerging UK seaweed industry by working with suppliers, coastal communities, academic institutions, and industry players in a thriving UK blue-bioeconomy. BioMara's underlying aim is to have a positive environmental impact, including carbon reduction and ocean regeneration. The seaweed industry development supports UN SDGs such as climate action and life below water (SDGs 1, 2, 3, 5, 7-15)_._
