Separating Beer Waste into Proteins for Foods, Fibers for Biofuels
Scientists recently reported a new way to extract the protein and fiber from brewer’s spent grain and use it to create new types of protein sources, biofuels, and more

WASHINGTON, DC April 6, 2021 Home brewing enthusiasts and major manufacturers alike experience the same result of the beer-making process: mounds of leftover grain. Once all the flavor has been extracted from barley and other grains, what’s left is a protein- and fiber-rich powder that is typically used in cattle feed or put in landfills. Scientists recently reported a new way to extract the protein and fiber from brewer’s spent grain and use it to create new types of protein sources, biofuels, and more.
Beer Waste Can Now Be Turned Into Biofuel
It turns out that brewing beer results in leftover waste that can be put to good use.
The beer-making process results in lots of leftover grain that is a protein and fiber-rich powder typically used in cattle feed or landfills. Now, Virginia Polytechnic and State University (Virginia Tech) scientists have found a way to make this leftover grain useful by extracting the protein and fiber held inside it and using it to create new types of protein sources, biofuels, and more.
“There is a critical need in the brewing industry to reduce waste,” Haibo Huang, Ph.D., the project’s principal investigator said. Huang and his team collaborated with local breweries to find a way to transform leftover grain into valuable products.
