Beets can serve a dual purpose and provide both roughage for animal feed and biomass for bioenergy.

The FOBIO concept, which has been developed with the participation of scientists from Aarhus University, involves separating the beet biomass into a liquid and a fibrous fraction using wet separation in a mechanical press. In this way you get a dry fibrous fraction that may be used in roughage and a sugary liquid fraction that can be used for energy purposes.
