12:30-12:35 Welcome 12:35-13:05 RuBisCo from green biomasses - Challenges and Opportunities - Hart Tanambell, Dept. of Food Science Aarhus University Green biomass, such as alfalfa, red & white clovers, and grasses, have gained attention as promising alternative protein sources that can be locally sourced in Denmark. Monogastric feed production from these plants have been running at full scale, but breakthrough for food is yet to be achieved. The challenges and opportunities within this area from an academic perspective will be discussed 13:05-13:15 Biobreak and introduction to the next presentation - Lærke Nielsen, Klimatorium 13:15-13:45 Water Supply for new soft drinks factory in England - Søren Nøhr Bak, Senior Expertice Director - Water & Sustainability, NIRAS Sufficient water of drinking water quality is a licence to operate for all food businesses. Unfortunately, water resources in many parts of the world have become significantly more squeezed in recent years, and at the same time as companies' increased focus on sustainability. Moreover, it cannot always be assumed that the local water supply has the capacity to supply the required amount of water to new, larger food factories. NIRAS has carried out a technical assessment of various possible locations for a large soft drink factory, which in full production will require between 2-3 million m3 of water annually. On the otherwise optimal site, the local English water supply has announced that with the required water consumption for the factory, they will have to transport the drinking water from a fairly large distance with great costs as a result. NIRAS has therefore suggested that the company look at alternative water resources 13:45-14:00 Biobreak and introduction to the next presentation - Anette Colding Brun, Klimatorium 14:00-14:30 Water efficiency in the dairy industry - Søren Nøhr Bak, Senior Expertice Director - Water & Sustainability, NIRAS & Rolf Pedersen, Expertice Director, NIRAS Sustainability in the food industry will typically be focused on the 3 essential elements: CO2, the utilization of raw materials and water. This is also true in the dairy industry, where water is gaining more importance. Over the past few years, NIRAS has carried out several projects on optimizing water consumption at dairies, where a review has been carried out of the operation in relation to the possibilities of the 4Rs: (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle & Rethink). In the presentation, the method used for optimization will be presented, as well as practical examples of how it is possible to achieve a reduction in water consumption, and in some cases approach the dream of the waterless dairy, where the water used for production comes to the dairy in the form of milk. 14:30-15:00 Building a Water-Efficient Future: Tetra Pak’s Innovative Solutions for Sustainable Food Production - Martin Carlsson, Senior Nature Project Manager Water, Sustainability, Tetra Pak & Anders Göransson, Product Manager Water management & CIP optimization, Factory Sustainability Solutions, Tetra Pak Processing Solutions & Equipment As water scarcity and energy conservation become increasingly critical concerns in many regions worldwide, the food industry must take swift and innovative action. Today, water management has evolved into a core focus, essential for the future of sustainable food production. Tetra Pak is at the forefront of this effort, actively engaging in water and energy conservation along its entire value chain. Through our Factory Sustainable Solutions, we offer a diverse range of technologies - including heat pumps, solar thermal systems, and advanced filtration techniques - that supports our customers in significantly reducing water usage and optimizing cleaning operations. This session will dive into Tetra Pak’s comprehensive sustainability agenda and portfolio, showcasing real-world examples of how these helps build a more water-efficient future. Together, we can address one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time and ensure that future generations have access to the resources they need.

12.30:12:35 Welcome Lars Holmegaard, CEO, Klimatorium 12:35-13:05 Water sources for green energy and PtX - Lars Holmegaard, CEO, Klimatorium The transition to green energy requires enormous amounts of water. By using secondary water instead of drinking water, we can solve several problems at once. 13:05-13:15 Biobreak and introduction to the next presentation - Lærke Nielsen, Klimatorium 13:15-13:35 Water is a limited resource - new technologies and concepts help reduce water consumption. - Niclas Pörtner, Concept Development and Design, EnviroChemie & Peter Ølbye, Business Developer, EnviroChemie New advanced concepts and technologies help companies reduce water consumption in production processes and ensure that wastewater is treated and reused efficiently. Our approach is to work with companies to optimize their water and energy consumption and ensure that as much water as possible is reused in a safe and efficient way. This is not only important for the environment, but also for companies' bottom line. 13:35-13:45 Biobreak and introduction to the next presentation - Lærke Nielsen, Klimatorium 13:45-14:15 Phosphorus is a necessary component for food production but is increasingly becoming a scarce resource - Sarah Hammershøy, CEO, MicroChange Denmark Phosphorus is a necessary component for food production but is increasingly becoming a scarce resource. Overuse and societal issues threaten the supply security of fertilizer products. How can wastewater be utilized to create solutions for future food production, and how can it be done flexibly and energy-efficiently? 14:15-14:25 Biobreak and introduction to the next presentation - Lærke Nielsen, Klimatorium 14:25-14:55 How to save up to 45% water, energy and CO2 with CIP cleaning - Finn Ladefoged Gregersen, Co-founder E-CIP Concept ApS CIP (Cleaning in Place) cleaning of hygienic process plants is a significant water-consuming process that must ensure food safety. CIP cleaning is the prerequisite for modern food production to take place at all and is therefore just as important as the food process itself. E-CIP Concept presents here a patented and tested concept with significant savings on water, wastewater, energy and CO2 when cleaning process plants. The concept has optimal cleaning efficiency and therefore does not compromise on product quality and food safety. Here it is presented how the concept works in practice, which problems it solves and which concrete results have been achieved. An E-CIP plant is thus both sustainable and with large savings on the operating costs of CIP cleaning. This results in a lower Total Cost of Ownership of the CIP plant. The E-CIP Concept thus has a positive impact on the Environment, the Economy, Efficiency and it is Easy to operate due to the build-in flexibility. 14:55-15:10 Wrapping up the day
