3 MUSSEL FARMS PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE GROWTH IN AGRICULTURE AND AQUACULTURE From linear to circular economy balticbluegrowth.eu #BalticBlueGrowth 3

4 EUROPEAN MARKET OBSERVATORY FOR FISHERY AND AQUACULTURE PRODUCTS Increasing need for marine products need to reduce our nutrient load Mussel farming in environmental, political and consumer demand balticbluegrowth.eu #BalticBlueGrowth 4

5 CIRCULAR BIOECONOMY FROM WASTE TO VALUE The European Water Frame Directive goals for 2021 Strategy from the Ministry of Environment and Food goals to be reached by 2020: - increased production of fish and shellfish by 25% - reduction of nitrogen load per produced unit by 25% - increased export of fish and shellfish by 50% balticbluegrowth.eu #BalticBlueGrowth 5

6 MARIAGER FJORD Required annual removal of 182,4 t N The Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI) has estimated the effects of mussel farming in the fjord A business model has been created by Orbicon balticbluegrowth.eu #BalticBlueGrowth 6

7 LOCATION OF FIVE SMARTFARM UNITS balticbluegrowth.eu #BalticBlueGrowth 7

8 DHI: RESULTS OF MODELLING WORK 86,7 ha consisting of 5 mussel farms Removal of 71 t N and 4,7 t P each year If using SmartFarm nutrient removal is increased up to a factor 2 balticbluegrowth.eu #BalticBlueGrowth 8

10 MARIAGER FJORD: COMPANY FORMATION AND BUSINESS MODELS 25 t biomass produced per unit per season Biomass to be sold as food or feed Musselmeal are similar to fishmeal in amino acid composition Decreased carbon footprint and nutrient load with mussel meal 25 new jobs created in the area balticbluegrowth.eu #BalticBlueGrowth 10

11 FINANCIAL ASSESSMENTS 10 y production Required investment: 9 million euro. Avg. depreciation per year: 0,7 million euro. Total operating costs per year: 0,8 million euro. Sale for consumption per year: 1,3 million euro. Price: 2,30 euro. per kg N removed balticbluegrowth.eu #BalticBlueGrowth 11

13 BLÅ BIOMASSE A/S PRODUCTION OF T MUSSELS FOR FOOD AND FEED in Blå Biomasse A/S was established in May 2016 Created by Hedeselskabet and local participants with experience in farming mussels. Blå Biomasse produce up to t per year in own farms in 2018 Main focus on production af marine proteins, but the project will have a positive effekt on the aquatic environment t mussels will remove a minimum of 500 t N and 40 t P each year from 2022 and on. balticbluegrowth.eu #BalticBlueGrowth 13

19 SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTIONS - FULL USAGE OF BIOMASS Mussel farming Breeding via Smart Farms Musselmeal Mussels < 4,5 cm Mussels are processed and dried to a meal Advantages: Automatized processes with innovative technology that reduce labour expenses and permit harvesting of mussels multiple times a year, thereby utilizing the full production potential. Farmed mussels have a higher percentage of meat than bottommussels All mussels are sold or utilized Consumption DK/export Mussels < 4,5 cm for feed production Fertilizer The portion not used for mussel meal may be used as a fertilizing product

20 NEW AND INNOVATIVE VALUE CHAIN ESTABLISHED AROUND SEVERAL DANISH COMPANIES MUSSEL FARMING MUSSELMEAL SALMON FEED SALMON FARMING BLÅ BIOMASSE A/S TRIPLE999 FISH MEAL FACTORY LERØY SEAFOOD, NORWAY Blå Biomasse A/S Breeding of 50,000 t mussels by 2022 Cost effective processing of the biomass Triple999 Fiskemelsfabrik Proteinfraction steamed/dried to musselmeal Feed company Formulation of feed product containing up to 10% musselmeal for salmon Lerøy Seafood Documentation of growth and welfare in atlantic salmon as a result of mussel meal in the salmon feed.

21 THE SOCIETAL VALUE OF FARMING 50,000 T MUSSELS Production of marine proteins Financially and enviromentally effective means of cleaning the Danish coastal areas. Remove t N. Sustainable growth in aquaculture. Blå Biomasse A/S has already established cooperation with Danish marine farms, seeing as they need a market for the mussels produced. The project may create approx. 300 new jobs balticbluegrowth.eu #BalticBlueGrowth 21
