AIMBIO (All-Island Marine Bio-based Refineries)

Project number: 2024SIF764

The AIMBIO initiative aims to address challenges in reducing waste and achieving circularity in the Irish Blue Bioeconomy by bringing together scientific and industry actors from across the island of Ireland to develop commercial bioeconomy solutions that enhance resource efficiency in the marine sector.

The key objective of AIMBIO is to convert aquatic biomass into a range of bio-based ingredients and products, fostering sustainability and minimising waste. AIMBIO will adopt an all-island approach to examine untapped side streams from aquaculture, fisheries, and aquatic processors, transforming them into high-value ingredients for agri-food applications, including food, feed, chemicals, cosmetics, and nutrition.
