Main actions
Pilot tests
Validation of whey protein fractionation, drying and biogas collection processes using Ultrafiltration (UF), Reverse Osmosis and Anaerobic Digestion pilot plants.
Human foodstuff prototypes
Production of foodstuff prototypes based on whey or including whey as an ingredient, of commercial interest for the cheese factories or for other companies in the food sector.
Animal feed product prototypes
Preparation of animal feed prototypes with added whey for feed testing to ascertain impact on cattle, recommended amounts and means of addition.
Development of the Action Plan
An Action Plan agreed by all stakeholders must be developed to set out the applicable recovery and exploitation procedures in each cheese factory of the CAPV.
Action Plan demonstration
Full-scale demonstration of whey collection feasibility in a number of cheese factories, taking into account whey handling and processing for the uses planned in the Action Plan.
Road Map preparation
Once the technical-economic and environmental feasibility of the Action Plan is determined, a Road Map including all actions required for implementation in the Basque Country will be defined.
