This is one of the COOPID project that showcases business models for transformation of hemp (naturaly producing energy crops) into valuable end products
Mollerup have developed a biorefinery approach for processing hemp. The value stream from hemp comes from utilisation of all components a) Whole stalk (Bast fiber, Woody Core) and b) Hemp seed (hemp nut, hemp oil, seed cake).
The whole hemp crop is fractionated into seeds, leaves and stalks. The hemp plant (different varieties) is the basis for refining. Hemp seeds are cultivated by using fractionation technology and a broad range of products are developed such as oils, cosmetics, beverages and meat replacements, etc. Mollerup is the pioneer in the development of hemp technologies in Denmark. More than 10 farms cultivate organic farm seeds which are treated by Mollerup brands into food products and food ingredients
Multiple value chains and parallel innovations are needed to achieve the full potential of the crop. A business model ecosystem had developed with varying degrees of ownership and cooperation. Hemp fibres are converted into end products such as insulation materials, boards and furniture by in joint ventures with downstream collaboration partners. Hemp farms are actively engaged
Hemp crops are an excellent source of carbon sequestration, bolstering their environmental credentials as one hectare of hemp sequesters 9 to 15 tonnes of CO2. Hemp can also help to remediate polluted soils.
Collaboration with hemp farmers and Danish Agro (agro-cooperative) helps to provide new alternative markets for suppliers.
