How a Danish Factory Uses Waste Bread to Make Biofuels

from The Manufacturing Podcast with Fexingo: Factories, Supply Chains, and Industrial Business · host Fexingo

Episode 39 of The Manufacturing Podcast with Fexingo takes us to a factory in Copenhagen that turns stale bread and bakery waste into cellulosic ethanol. Lucas and Luna break down the numbers: 70,000 tons of bread waste per year, 20 million liters of biofuel, and a carbon footprint 60% lower than gasoline. They explore the enzyme technology from Novozymes, the partnership with bakeries across Denmark, and the economic case that makes this work without subsidies. Plus, a look at what scaling this model could mean for food waste globally. A fascinating case of circular manufacturing that turns a waste stream into a fuel stream. #Manufacturing #Biofuels #CircularEconomy #WasteToEnergy #Denmark #Novozymes #CellulosicEthanol #BakeryWaste #FoodWaste #CleanTech #GreenFuel #IndustrialBiotech #SupplyChain #Sustainability #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ManufacturingPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
