A French, European and world premiere
Ÿnsect is the first French company to win a project of this scale supported by Europe and highly competitive. But it is also the first time that the European Commission and the BBI JU have financed a start up at this level to launch an industrial project.
The objective of the Ÿnsect company is to make insects an essential resource for feeding farmed and domestic animals, in a context of growing global demand for proteins.
The Bio-Based Industries Programme (BBI JU) is a PPP (Public-Private Partnership) which aims to increase investment in the development of a sustainable organic industrial sector in Europe, by supporting demonstration projects (Demo) and flagship actions (Flagship).
With about twenty European partners, the FARMŸNG project is dedicated to the realization of an industrial-scale biorefinery to produce 3 types of co-products: protein flour, oil and fertilizers. The production level targeted by Ÿnsect of 1,500 tonnes per month makes FARMŸNG the first insect biorefinery in the world!
