Description

Today, most food industries rely on fossil fuels (mostly natural gas) for their energy-intensive processes such as heating, cooking, pasteurisation or drying. Therefore, the use of renewable electricity is one of the keys to a food value chain with reduced impact  on the environment, more resilient and independent of energy imports.

The main objective of the initiative is to develop a simple tool that integrates techno-economic models with Carbon Footprint calculation for emerging food processing technologies, combining Colab4Food''s expertise in food science and engineering with the expertise
