Presentation by Bernd Blumenberg, president of BASF-YPC Co (BYC), at the Global Petrochemicals 7th Annual Meeting, organised by the World Refining Association (WRA)
The document summarizes the MAB3 project, which aims to produce bioenergy carriers (ethanol, butanol, biogas) and high-value fish feed from macroalgae. The project will optimize cultivation, pretreatment, and conversion processes to produce liquid and gaseous biofuels from 80% of macroalgal sugars while using the remaining solids and sugars to produce protein-rich fish feed supplements. The 3-year, €3 million project involves 12 partners across 5 countries and seeks to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of a macroalgal biorefinery approach.
Microalgae have potential as a fish feed ingredient. Research is evaluating the nutritional value and functional properties of different microalgae species. Preliminary results found that Nannochloropsis oceania, Phaeodactylum tricornutum, and Isochrysis galbana vary in their protein, lipid, and amino acid content. Feeding microalgae may help reduce soybean meal-induced inflammation in salmon intestines. Further research is needed to improve the digestibility and cost-effectiveness of producing microalgae at commercial scales for use as sustainable fish feed ingredients.
The document discusses efforts to produce commodity and specialty chemicals from renewable agricultural and forest feedstocks rather than traditional petroleum-derived feedstocks. It notes that while some processes for converting single renewable feedstocks into platform chemicals like lactic acid, succinic acid and glycerol have made progress, fully realizing the potential of integrated biorefineries will require overcoming challenges in converting feedstocks like cellulose and lignin into multiple downstream products.
The document discusses torrefaction, which is a process for upgrading biomass into a higher energy density solid fuel. It describes ECN, an energy research institute in the Netherlands that develops sustainable energy technologies including their work on torrefaction. Torrefaction involves heating biomass to 200-300°C in the absence of oxygen, which makes the biomass more energy dense, hydrophobic, and easier to transport and handle as a solid fuel. ECN has developed TOP technology for torrefaction and pelletization of biomass into a fuel with properties suitable for co-firing in coal power plants.

Food safety research in low- and middle-income countriesILRI
Presentation by Hung Nguyen-Viet at the first technical meeting to launch the Food Safety Working Group under the One Health Partnership framework, Hanoi, Vietnam, 28 September 2023
The Food Safety Working Group (FSWG) in Vietnam was created in 2015 at the request of the Deputy Prime Minister to address food safety issues in the country. It brings together government agencies, ministries, and development partners to facilitate joint policy dialogue and improve food safety. Over eight years of operations led by different organizations, the FSWG has contributed to various initiatives. However, it faces challenges of diminished government participation over time and dependence on active members. Going forward, it will strengthen its operations by integrating under Vietnam's One Health Partnership framework to better engage stakeholders and achieve policy impacts.

HCL Notes und Domino Lizenzkostenreduzierung in der Welt von DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-und-domino-lizenzkostenreduzierung-in-der-welt-von-dlau/
DLAU und die Lizenzen nach dem CCB- und CCX-Modell sind für viele in der HCL-Community seit letztem Jahr ein heißes Thema. Als Notes- oder Domino-Kunde haben Sie vielleicht mit unerwartet hohen Benutzerzahlen und Lizenzgebühren zu kämpfen. Sie fragen sich vielleicht, wie diese neue Art der Lizenzierung funktioniert und welchen Nutzen sie Ihnen bringt. Vor allem wollen Sie sicherlich Ihr Budget einhalten und Kosten sparen, wo immer möglich. Das verstehen wir und wir möchten Ihnen dabei helfen!
Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie häufige Konfigurationsprobleme lösen können, die dazu führen können, dass mehr Benutzer gezählt werden als nötig, und wie Sie überflüssige oder ungenutzte Konten identifizieren und entfernen können, um Geld zu sparen. Es gibt auch einige Ansätze, die zu unnötigen Ausgaben führen können, z. B. wenn ein Personendokument anstelle eines Mail-Ins für geteilte Mailboxen verwendet wird. Wir zeigen Ihnen solche Fälle und deren Lösungen. Und natürlich erklären wir Ihnen das neue Lizenzmodell.
Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, bei dem HCL-Ambassador Marc Thomas und Gastredner Franz Walder Ihnen diese neue Welt näherbringen. Es vermittelt Ihnen die Tools und das Know-how, um den Überblick zu bewahren. Sie werden in der Lage sein, Ihre Kosten durch eine optimierte Domino-Konfiguration zu reduzieren und auch in Zukunft gering zu halten.
Diese Themen werden behandelt
- Reduzierung der Lizenzkosten durch Auffinden und Beheben von Fehlkonfigurationen und überflüssigen Konten
- Wie funktionieren CCB- und CCX-Lizenzen wirklich?
- Verstehen des DLAU-Tools und wie man es am besten nutzt
- Tipps für häufige Problembereiche, wie z. B. Team-Postfächer, Funktions-/Testbenutzer usw.

anaerobic digesters (biogas production)
waste application: timing and application technique
Benefits
source of energy
fertilizer
environmental benefit: reduction in
leaching, odor, etc
15. Mitigation in feed production, N2O and
CO2
improved pasture management and establishment
optimizing stocking numbers
rotational grazing
fertilization
improved pastures species and fodder banks
Rangeland rehabilitation
improved fertilizer use - organic and synthetic
Precision agriculture to match N to crop demand, soil type, etc
Timing of application – when required by crop
16. Conclusions
Efficiency gains are important
o Reducing emissions per unit of animal product by cutting on “unproductive”
emissions through breeding, animal health, improved nutrition
Implementation of mitigation options will depend on the cost-
effectiveness of technical options
Need to pay attention to emission interactions and trade-offs between
different management strategies and emission types
