normal">The bioeconomy can turn algae into fuel, recycle plastic, convert waste into new furniture or clothing or transform industrial by-products into bio-based fertilisers. It has the potential…
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…
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.…
Circular Agronomics
Along 7 work packages and 6 case-studies, representing locations with different biogeographic conditions and environmental challenges typical for the European agricultural sector, the objective of CA is to contribute to a development towards…
SYSTEMIC
Creation of a roadmap to facilitate solutions for biowaste in the EU.
