Grass and clover

Green Valleys 2.0

We create value circles in agriculture

Green Valleys is a four-year EU-financed Swedish-Danish research collaboration project with the objective to establish a platform for developing green biorefinary. 

Green biorefining of grass and clover is a very promising solution to produce a high value green protein. The solution is based on the use and further processing of the residual streams from the production of the green protein, which increases the chances of it becoming an economically sustainable alternative to imported plant proteins.

The project is funded by the EU Interreg Öresund-Kattegat-Skagerrak and the Västra Götaland Region. Partners in the project are Agroväst, which is leading the project, Chalmers University of Technology, department of natural resources at Region Västra Götaland, SLU, Hushållningssällskapet Sjuhärad, Aarhus University and Skive kommune.

Two demonstration plants have been built, a larger research-based one in Denmark at Aarhus University, AU Viborg (forskningsenhed Foulum) and a smaller farm-based pilot plant in Sweden at Sötåsen Agricultural School.
