Short description of the work plan

Subtask 1 Pilot plant at HellisheiethiMain emphasis is put on building a several thousand liter pilot plant at the Hellisheiethi power

plant The pilot plant will obtain geothermal gas directly from the power plant and the gas willbe processed by a biological process for the production of biomass (single-cell protein) andsolid sulfur and sulfuric acid The pilot plant will be run for 1-2 years and is estimated thatduring the operation of the facility up to 50 tones of biomass and 100-300 tones of sulfur sulfuric acid will be produced The operation will be a feasibility study for a future full-scalefactory

Subtask 2 Use of Biomass for FeedThere is much interest in the availability of new protein sources for feed due to shortage offish meal for feed We will collaborate with the Norwegian feed producer Ewos to evaluate byanalysis and testing the use of our single-cell protein in feed for animals and fish farming Wewill also collaborate with Matiacutes ohf and the Icelandic company Arctic Tilapia ehf for

experiments using the single-cell protein for cultivation of the tropical Tilapia fish which is aspecies with characteristics suitable for experiments of this kind

Subtask 3 Utilization of SulfurPrevious studies have indicated that soil in Iceland is generally deficient in sulfur and is alimiting factor in growing grass and vegetables Currently the fertilizer imported to Icelandannually contains over 1000 tones of sulfur and indications are that agriculture could benefitform even larger amounts of sulfur Potential use of the biological sulfur produced at the pilotplant as a fertilizer will be investigated in this project Contacts have been established with the

Agricultural Univ of Iceland and the Soil Conservation Service of Iceland (Landgraeligethslariacutekisins) for collaborations regarding experiments for use of the biological sulfur as fertilizerand protective agent mainly as a fungicide Plans have been made for experiments regardingthe use of sulfur as fungicide in the growth of barley plants by the Icelandic biotech companyOrf Genetics Special and emphasis will be put on working with farmers of organic

agriculture

Short description of the work plan

Subtask 1 Pilot plant at HellisheiethiMain emphasis is put on building a several thousand liter pilot plant at the Hellisheiethi power

plant The pilot plant will obtain geothermal gas directly from the power plant and the gas willbe processed by a biological process for the production of biomass (single-cell protein) andsolid sulfur and sulfuric acid The pilot plant will be run for 1-2 years and is estimated thatduring the operation of the facility up to 50 tones of biomass and 100-300 tones of sulfur sulfuric acid will be produced The operation will be a feasibility study for a future full-scalefactory

Subtask 2 Use of Biomass for FeedThere is much interest in the availability of new protein sources for feed due to shortage offish meal for feed We will collaborate with the Norwegian feed producer Ewos to evaluate byanalysis and testing the use of our single-cell protein in feed for animals and fish farming Wewill also collaborate with Matiacutes ohf and the Icelandic company Arctic Tilapia ehf for

experiments using the single-cell protein for cultivation of the tropical Tilapia fish which is aspecies with characteristics suitable for experiments of this kind

Subtask 3 Utilization of SulfurPrevious studies have indicated that soil in Iceland is generally deficient in sulfur and is alimiting factor in growing grass and vegetables Currently the fertilizer imported to Icelandannually contains over 1000 tones of sulfur and indications are that agriculture could benefitform even larger amounts of sulfur Potential use of the biological sulfur produced at the pilotplant as a fertilizer will be investigated in this project Contacts have been established with the

Agricultural Univ of Iceland and the Soil Conservation Service of Iceland (Landgraeligethslariacutekisins) for collaborations regarding experiments for use of the biological sulfur as fertilizerand protective agent mainly as a fungicide Plans have been made for experiments regardingthe use of sulfur as fungicide in the growth of barley plants by the Icelandic biotech companyOrf Genetics Special and emphasis will be put on working with farmers of organic

agriculture
