Building upon the usual harvest procedures, the biomass is mashed and pumped into a lagoon or circular container where the additive is added and process controlled.

On-farm scenarios

The production af feed and biogas on waste meets the political ambitions of reducing the acreage for production of Feed and Biogas in favour of acreage devoted to Food at improved local prosperity

Economical and Environmental benefits at the implementation model Scenario 3A

Abstract.

This report presents a patented process technology designed to stabilize sugar and protein compounds in whole-crop sugar beet biomass through anaerobic storage. By preventing fermentation at both small and large scale, the technology enables decentralized production of two high-value biobased products: FarmSucrose Syrup (FSS) and FarmProtein Pellets (FPP). This innovation unlocks new value streams in

agriculture while reducing environmental impact. The business model is demonstrated through Scenario 3A, involving a platform of 30 farms (see poster below). Each farm performs on-site juicing and storage, with downstream upgrading at a centralized facility. The remaining beet and leaf pulp are retained for milk or methane production, creating an integrated and circular system. Scenario 3A has been financially modelled using conservative yield and pricing assumptions. Results show positive net returns per hectare in both dairy and biogas pathways—without reliance on state subsidies. The model captures multiple revenue streams while reducing input costs, offering an attractive risk-return profile at farm and portfolio level. Patents are secured in Europe, the U.S., and Eurasia, with scalability potential across sugar beet-producing regions, particularly in Northern and Eastern Europe. In terms of impact, Scenario 3A:

• Lowers energy use by >100 kWh/ton vs. conventional sugar production

• Frees up 0.43–0.46 ha per hectare for biodiversity or carbon projects

• Reduces nitrate leaching and import dependence on soy protein

• Converts climate policy into tangible farm-level value

This report offers a proof-of-concept for a commercially scalable, climate-aligned agri-tech solution with strong IP, solid unit economics, and multiple market applications.

From seed to feed – one implementation scenario

One concrete implementation scenario – from seed in the soil via harvest, storage and processing to FarmSucrose Syrup and FarmProtein Pellets – has been worked out in detail. The poster below shows:

• How the feed fraction is ensiled

• How the juice fraction is stored under non-fermentation conditions

• How this enables year-round on-farm production

• What level of on-farm / biogas operational income can be expected under conservative estimates

• How upscaling in DK, DE and SE by 2030 expands the potential for FarmSucrose Syrup and FarmProtein Pellets on the market.
