Frankly I think this is too general to answer with any sense of certainty. I have seen literally hundreds of web sites over the last two/three weeks. Are we talking about grape pomace, potato pomace, or hundreds of other kinds of pomace. The problem isn't clear. Additionally I doubt that any one process will be most effective as well as environmentally friendsly for ALL kinds of pomace. So this is a real crap shoot. The most promising site I found was this one below talking about a COMBINATION enzyme and high pressure/high temperature water.
