Combine
The utilisation and development of environmentally friendly technologies are key factors for the achievement of the ambitious aims of the EU to increase the share of renewable energies. The energetic utilisation of biomass has an important role, as in…
Biorefine
The NWE region with its high population density, intensive industrial and agricultural activity producing large amounts of residues, is an ideal testing ground for tackling these challenges. Through the networks from each of our partners and supported by…
ARBOR
Objectives
Foster transregional knowledge sharing to exploit the biomass potential of both the rural and the industrialised North West European (NWE) regions through promotion of best practice examples.
Reduce territorial disparities in regulations and…
FERTIPLUS
Actions
FERTIPLUS assessed scenarios on amount and quality of organic wastes available within the EU to identify and map their potential for recycling nutrients to soil and plants in biochar or compost.
Production processes for compost and biochar were…
P-Rex
Phosphorus is one essential element of life, which can neither be produced synthetically nor substituted by any other substance. Its importance as plant nutrient is emphasized by the huge amount of more than one million tons of mineral phosphorus annually…
Biogas Action
The project’s purpose is to serve as a vehicle for a rapid development of the European biogas/biomethane sector. This undertaking will contribute to the EU 2020 targets, by focusing on the removal of non-technical barriers to the widespread…
AgroCycle
AgroCycle is a ca. €8 million (ca. €7 million from the European Commission, ca. €1 million from the Government of The People’s Republic of China) Horizon 2020 research and innovation project addressing the recycling and valorisation of waste from the…
Pilots4U
A key challenge for the bio-economy is to bring newly developed molecules and techniques from the lab to the market. The main bottleneck in the innovation chain is the step from technology development to deployment. This step has to be performed first in…
BIO4PRODUCTS
The innovative approach of Bio4Products is to apply a short thermal treatment (fast pyrolysis) at elevated temperature enabling the fractionation of the bio-resource, but keeping the key chemical functionalities in separate, depolymerised fractions.…
Phos4You
Phos4You addresses the phosphorus (P) challenge. P is a nutrient essential for all living organisms. Though it is a finite resource on earth, P is largely wasted today. The EU acknowledged this by adding phosphate rock to its list of critical raw…
