EcoD EcoD – Bringing new life to cod waste turning it into protein powder for human consumption

Coordinator: ICELAND PROTEIN (IS)

With a global population growth from 7.3 billion to 9.7 billion by 2050, the protein demand is expected to double from the current 202 million tons/year. Protein sources are either animal- or plant-based and their production is depleting the environmental given their high water and land utilization as well as the large Green House Gas Emissions during production. Therefore, there is an urgent need for shifting the production of protein onto a more sustainable path. Iceland Protein (IS) is facing this challenge by developing EcoD, the first rich-protein powder for human consumption sourced fro…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €50k toward a total project budget of €71k — a funding rate of 70%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 0.3 years from 2019-12-01 to 2020-03-31.
