An operator in the Innovafeed industrial production site in Nesle, France. Innovafeed plant in Nesle opened in November 2020 and it is the world’s largest operating production unit of insect proteins. The site produces insect proteins and oil derived from black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae for animal and plant nutrition. The production unit is co-located with a starch manufacturer, which provides wheat waste for insect feeding and with a biomass plant which powers the site by 100% renewable energy. The company estimates that this cooperation will save 57,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
