This project targets the urgent challenge to reduce nutrients to BSR waters, limit GHG emissions, and quickly enhance European self-supply with food, feed and energy. Together, aquaculture, agriculture, and industry can provide solutions to these challenges by developing industrial symbioses based on exploitation of local blue/green biomasses that are initially grown and/or harvested with the particular objective to produce positive ecosystem services. Thus, the very production of e.g. grass, mussels or seaweed to enter the industrial symbioses improves carbon storage, reduces nitrogen deposits to the atmosphere and the water. In "bio-industrial symbioses", each company produces bio-products and transfers residuals as resources to the next companies in the chain.
The project Blue-Green Bio Lab will help local authorities with initiating bio-industrial symbioses among aquaculture, agriculture and industry to reduce emissions while producing more consumer goods through the development of a practice-based Blue Green Bio Lab Tool Kit. The tool kit will include scientific and policy information regarding several blue and green biomasses as well as a practical approach to initiating discussions with relevant stakeholders and policymakers about new symbiosis opportunities.
