Grand Opening of the GreenProtein DEMO Plant

The 10th of October took place the Grand Opening of the Greenprotein DEMO Plant, which is located in Dinteloord, The Netherlands.

Paulus Kosters, Sr Program Manager Protein at Royal Cosun, presented the Opening of the Greenprotein Demo Plant together with other Suiker Unie and Cosun Representatives.

Overall, the event was a huge success. It not only was proof of the hard work of the Greenprotein project partners during the last year, but also a demostration of how public funds from the EU can help transform an innovative idea into a Demostration Plant able to produce real and functional output: RuBisco protein.
