Brewers' spent grain for organic thin-film transistor application
Assunta Marrocchi, Ilary Belardi, Ombretta Marconi and Choongik Kim
Brewer's spent grain (BSG) represents the main by-product of the brewing industry, accounting for ∼85 % of the total by-products. The annual global production of BSG is massive, that is ∼40 million tons. In the European Union, the production is ∼3,4 million tons/year [1]. Currently, BSG is mainly sold to farmers (∼30 % in EU) as animal feed, with a low market value of ∼35 Euro/ton or landfilled. Finding alternatives, higher value uses for BSG is therefore particularly attractive from the point of view of brewery economics [1].
