Project
PACE – POTATO JUICE TO FATTY ACIDS FOR NEW BIO-BASED VALUE-CHAINS IN EUROPE
PACE is retrofitting an existing potato processing facility into a full-scale, first-of-its-kind biorefinery, converting potato juice into high-value bio-based chemicals, specifically medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs). Operating at industrial scale, the project validates market-ready, fossil-free alternatives to petro- and oleo-based chemicals through a zero-waste, cost-efficient retrofit, cutting emissions by up to 86% according to project assessments.
The project is supported by the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking and its members. Funded by the European Union under grant agreement No 101292918.
