ManureEcoMine
Technologies of proven efficacy in the wastewater treatment field were combined in several process configurations to demonstrate their technological and environmental potential at pilot scale for cow and pig manure. Anaerobic digestion (mesophilic/…
NutriCycle
NutriCycle contributed to the sustainable development of industrial livestock farming and bio-fermentation as renewable (energy) technology in Flanders. In the first place, the project had a technological approach, but attention was also paid to the…
ReUseWaste
ReUseWaste was created dur to the need to improve management and utilisation of organic matter and nutrient resources in animal waste to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, ammonia and odour, as well as to improve energy outputs and limit the impact…
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…
TransBio
Despite its high added value, anaerobic digestion in Flanders as a base technology still has a high investment and operating cost and is dependent on financial support for renewable energy technologies. TransBio wants to optimize the baseline business…
LEX4BIO
Phosphorus resources are finite, and production of nitrogen fertilisers is energy intensive, causing greenhouse gas emissions. In LEX4BIO, replacing mineral fertilisers with bio-based fertilizers (BBFs) within EU is evaluated by mapping…
FERTIMANURE - Innovative nutrient recovery from secondary sources - Production of high-added value FERTIlisers from animal MANURE
Total farm livestock population in Europe excrete around 1400 Mt of manure annually. More than 90% of manure produced is returned to…
