Innovation

Industry Problem

Sunflower extraction meal is abundant but has limited feed value, while animal feed remains dependent on higher-cost protein sources such as soybean meal.

R&D Focus

Sunflower-meal fractionation, high-protein feed carriers, process engineering and energy co-products.

Innovative Solution

Processes sunflower extraction meal into two high-quality protein carriers and an energy carrier, improving a low-grade oil-mill by-product.

Solution Effectiveness

The company’s model projects a 57% net profit and 51% EBITDA for a product mix; these are forward-looking company calculations, not observed operating results.

About

Our process converts waste into high-protein food and feed as well as a green energy source, solving two fundamental problems facing humanity: climate protection and nutrition. The sustainable, modular solution, which is based on GMO-free resources, has been industrially tested and can be implemented by our industrial partners (technology concerns) at customers worldwide at any time. The focus is currently on the licence business and the introduction and penetration of markets, followed by the construction of our own industrial plants. 34 patents worldwide Problem >>The production of sunflower oil produces approx. 60% meal (practically waste), which contains high-quality proteins. Oil can only be produced to the extent that this waste can be re-housed. Animal feed from soy meal, rainforest is cleared for it. Product >> Makes the waste 100% usable; high protein is produced, for animal feed (protein over 46%), so that soybean meal can be displaced from the market by sunflower (protection of rainforest); an energy source is produced from the remaining fibre content; Sales channels & promotion >> We grant licences for the patented process to existing millers. These pay an amount per tonne. The licences are distributed through sales agents (target group: seed and feed traders). In addition, direct approach to mills. Construction of own plant (60,000 t annual capacity). Results >> In the calculated normal case (for annual capacity of a plant in Germany of 240,000 t), the mix of the products HiProSUN I, HiProSUN II and HiProSUN III results in a net profit of 57% and an EBITDA of 51%.
