Grassa | Unlocking the full potential of Grass | Biomass

Grassa is an agritech startup based in the Netherlands, focused on sustainable agriculture through its patented mobile biorefining technology. This innovative process transforms grass and green biomass into high-value products such as grass protein, opened grass fibers, sugars, minerals, and phosphate. By utilizing grass, Europe's most cultivated crop, Grassa aims to enhance the grass-to-food chain without displacing food production or requiring additional land.

The company's mobile biorefining unit employs a natural mechanical process to separate fresh green biomass into liquid and solid fractions. The liquid fraction yields grass protein, which is a local alternative to soy, and sugars with prebiotic effects. The solid fraction produces opened grass fibers that improve digestibility for dairy cows while reducing emissions and manure volume. Grassa's outputs cater to various markets, including animal feed and human food, contributing to a circular economy and supporting sustainability goals.

Founded as a RootCamp startup, Grassa has secured €3.6 million in funding to scale its technology and expand its operations. The company collaborates with dairy farmers, soy buyers, and local grass producers, and is actively involved in partnerships to develop sustainable protein alternatives.
