“This is a further development of one of our residual products. Our sulfite waste liquor contains a great deal of sugar, which can be refined into a fungus biomass. This can in turn provide environmentally friendly fish food with the help of Cewatech’s technology,” says Eva Pettersson at Nordic Paper in Säffle.In collaboration with leading researchers in the Nordic region, the fungus biomass was tested as a replacement for up to one-third of the fish flour in the feed for varieties including Salmon and Char. A pilot facility will now be constructed in Säffle, which will be able to produce fungus biomass in quantities sufficient to advance and optimize the process. The Swedish Government’s development authority, Vinnova, is contributing slightly less than 2.5 million Kronor to the project.
