• A six year, MBIE funded research and development program

• Main aim is to help industry create economic value for NZ

– Exports increased by $100 M by 2020

– Displacement of imports, reduction of environmental impact

• Achieve by processing of low value by-product and waste streams derived from the processing of primary products

Bioresource Processing Alliance

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Workshops are not just about the BPA programme – they are also a forum for researchers and industry to talk about opportunities to add value to low value streams and waste bioresources – some of which the BPA may be able to support and some of which might be supported by other entities.

BPA Approach

• ‘Best team’ and ‘best equipment’ approach • BPA also draws on expertise from universities,

private industry and other R&D organisations • Massey University & Waikato Innovation

• Connect people with related interests

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Enables the best team of experts from BPA partners, Universities and other research organisations to be brought together to work with industry; and Is connecting people with related interest (e.g. growers with similar interests to make more of a given bioresource) and industry players with complimentary interests e.g. companies that have a by-product / waste stream they deal with and companies that are interested to source and use the waste stream

• To achieve its objective the BPA would like to connect with companies that: – generate volumes of low value streams from primary

production and processing; – are interested in new technologies that could make better

use of these low value streams (covers both equipment suppliers and specialist processing companies); and/or

– are interested to take low value streams and add value to them (e.g. biopolymer manufacturer)

BPA Objective: value creation from co-products & waste streams

Page 6: A six year, MBIE funded research and development program · – 50-55% of fish harvest converted to fish meal ... to process by-products are likely to be interested in \P related

• Extraction – direct recovery of high value, low volume constituents – e.g. bioactive peptides, lipids or antioxidants for functional foods,

nutraceuticals • High Value Processing – to transform functionality

– e.g. to produce food products, animal feeds • Deconstruction – pulling things apart

– e.g. convert bulk residual materials to recover simple chemicals (e.g. acetate), nutrients (e.g. for fertilizers) and energy

• Reconstruction – putting things together – e.g. combining functionalised bulk materials to produce biopolymers

or novel biocomposites • Tech transfer – economic evaluation, pilot plant, scale-up

Four key areas of focus for the BPA

Presentation Notes
IP interest will vary will vary depending on the opportunity and the interests of the industry partners. For example: Companies that produce low value streams from primary production and processing, may primarily be interested in whether there is a better use for their bioresrouce Companies wishing to sell equipment / plant to process by-products are likely to be interested in IP related to equipment design and Companies wishing to take by-products and add value to them may be interested in IP related to equipment design and process optimisation These interests are taken into account alongside contributions that the company will make to the programme of work. Ultimately the BPA is interested to ensure that IP is managed to maximise value creation for NZ Inc. In some cases therefore, the BPA will develop IP for use by multiple players. In other cases the BPA will develop IP in conjunction with a single company (or a few companies) that can use the IP for competitive advantage. In the later case, increasing contribution to the development of a solution would be expected as the solution comes closer to deployment.

• Waste/co-product stream: Applicable to many; current focus is yeast-rich brewing waste (‘trub’).

• Problems to solve: – High BOD/COD wastes; cost of disposal – Some existing uses, often low value

• Approach: Extraction/deconstruction, generating two streams: DNA and high-quality protein. – DNA – bio-based industrial chemical – Protein – nutrition, food ingredient

• Status: Proof-of-concept

Yeast residues after

fermentation

DNA – use for bio-derived industrial

chemicals

Protein – use for nutritional purposes

• Is the BPA a funding organisation for private companies? – No, funding goes to the BPA Partners and their

research Partners for their part in the R&D work • How much funding do I need to put in?

– Depends on the stage of the project • Who owns the IP?

– Depends on the industry partner interests, proprietary knowledge, co-investment in a project, and who is best placed to manage the IP to create value for NZ Inc
