Cluster On Anaerobic digestion, environmental Services and NuTrients removAL

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG V-A Poland - Denmark - Germany - Lithuania - Sweden (South Baltic)

Date of latest update: 2023-03-10

Description

Description (EN):

Eutrophication has both ecological and social consequences and is one of the major environmental problems in the Baltic Sea at the same time there is a need for a transition from a fossil-based to a sustainable bio-based society. Anaerobic digestion offers many opportunities of relevance for the Baltic Sea Region since it transfers low quality resources/wastes into a renewable high quality fuel that can be used for local electricity and heat supply, as transport fuel or for injection into the natural gas grid. In addition, the digestate can replace the fossil based artificial fertilizers, and hence close the nutrients loop which is fundamental for the circular bioeconomy. By using cast seaweed as substrate and utilize the digestate as a fertilizer, nutrients are physically removed from the Baltic Sea and hence provide a powerful tool to mitigate eutrophication. In addition the inconveniences with rotting seaweed on the beaches are removed for the benefit of recreation, tourism and increased value of residential properties along the coast. Practically, experiences and results from industrial scale anaerobic co-digestion of cast seaweed in Denmark will be further improved and adapted to local conditions in the participating countries into the South Baltic (SB) Sea area, supported by technology implementation by informing responsible key institutions. Targeted technology transfer and cross-border cooperation in combination with feasibility studies and pilot testing will contribute to market uptake and the first step of a wider implementation of this new and innovative technology in the South Baltic Sea area. The overall aim is to create a guideline for using seaweed as co-digestive e.g. for municipalities and/or biogas operators in coastal areas of the SB Sea region and to create incentives in order to financially support innovative technology, i.e. collecting and cleaning methods, and the application in a biogas plant, including also technical and legal guidelines.

Achievements (EN):

COASTAL Biogas - a Swiss army knife of socio-economic benefits-treatment of seaweed: In this success story, the main socio-economic benefits of the COASTAL Biogas concept are highlighted. The concept is implemened in Solrød, Denmark as part of the municipality´s climate action plan. More than 1,500 tonnes of cast seaweed were processed in 2019. The main conclusion is that the implementation of the COASTAL Biogas concept in Solrød is a true success story. Report on best practise and lessons learned: The report includes experiences and good practise of both ongoing and finished projects, dealing with aquatic biomass. The review contributes to the COASTAL Biogas’ aim of finding strategies to mitigate eutrophication and its negative consequences. COASTAL Biogas in short; 6 partners from 5 countries and 11 associated partners, 19 publications (still counting) https://www.coastal-biogas.eu/publications/, 6 conferences and 6 study tours https://www.coastal-biogas.eu/events/, 35 COASTAL Biogas presentations (still counting), 1 Information kit https://www.coastal-biogas.eu/information-kit/, Several decision tools (under implementation) and 10+ workshops, 7 Newsletters https://www.coastal-biogas.eu/newsletter/, The COASTAL Biogas concept is implemented in Solrød Biogas plant.

Expected Results (EN): The project will provide new knowledge and concrete solutions to coastal regions to tackle eutrophication, contribute to the transition to a circular bio-economy and improve prosperity by cross-border cooperation.

Expected Outputs (EN): 1) Cross-border technology guidance and transfer in cast seaweed co-digestion; 2) decision support tool and training kit; 3) improved procedures of digestion of seaweed and digestate utilization in SB area.
