What’s happening? How does it happen?<br />
Green Mills is a processing plant for second generation<br />
biofuels that uses residual fats and oils (which<br />
are imported on a global scale), food waste from supermarkets,<br />
and grey water as resources. The combination<br />
of different treatment processes provides<br />
clean water and gas (which provides electricity,<br />
heath and steam), and stands in direct contact and<br />
exchange with companies Simadan, Cargill and a<br />
juice making company via pipelines. The digestate<br />
is transformed into fertilizers.<br />
Why is this an interesting circular initiative for<br />
circular ports?<br />
It is exemplary for new technologies that allow to<br />
process waste into new ressources, in connection<br />
(industrial symbiosis) with different activities inside<br />
the port area. However, where the logic is gathering<br />
large volumes to be processed, a friction occurs as<br />
now oils and fats are imported on a global scale. It<br />
raises the question on what scale what materials are<br />
collected and processed.
