Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB North West Europe

Date of latest update: 2022-05-02

Description

Description (DE):

THREE C zielt auf die Entwicklung und Einführung von wirtschaftlich tragfähigen Wertschöpfungsketten auf Basis von Holzkohle-Rohstoffen aus Abfall-Biomassen in NWE. THREE C basiert auf dem Vorläuferprojekt RE-DIRECT, das gezeigt hat, dass es möglich und nachhaltig ist, Holzkohle als alternative Kohleausgangsmaterial für Produkte in der Agrar-, Abwasser-, Gesundheits- und Kosmetikindustrie zu nutzen. Das Projekt wird die Entwicklung hochwertiger Produkte und Wertschöpfungsketten auf der Grundlage von Holzkohlerohstoffen in den teilnehmenden Regionen in DE, BE, UK, IE, FR und NL fördern, um eine klimafreundliche und nachhaltige Kohle-Kreislaufwirtschaft (Circular Carbon Economy) in NWE einzuführen . Das Projekt wird von einem interdisziplinären Projektteam aus Universitäten, öffentlichen Einrichtungen, Agenturen für Unternehmensförderung und Regionalentwicklung sowie Experten für Kapazitätsaufbau, Investitionen und Marketing geleitet. In der Projektlaufzeit: - werden 7 regionale Circular Carbon Hubs (CC-Hubs) für Produkt- und Geschäftsentwicklung und Marketing gegründet, - Circular Carbon-Labs (CC-Labs) werden Qualitätskontrollmechanismen für maßgeschneiderte Produkte und Rohstoffe entwickeln, - 1 Europäische Dachorganisation (CC-Net) bietet Unternehmensförderung, kontinuierliche berufliche Weiterbildung und Beratung für KMU im neuen Sektor. 3 Investitionen für eine mobile Demoanlage, ein zentrales Prototyp-Qualitätslabor und einen CC-Hub in einem abgelegenen ländlichen Gebiet werden realisiert. In der Projektlaufzeit werden insgesamt 250 Personen bei der Produkt- und Dienstleistungsentwicklung unterstützt, darunter Gründer und Beschäftigte von 14 Start-ups und 70 KMU. Es werden 21 Produktlinien und Wertschöpfungsketten in den beteiligten Regionen entwickelt. Die europaweite Vermarktung wird über das CC-Net und seine europäische Marketingplattform für Holzkohleprodukte gefördert.

Description (EN):

THREE C aims at the development and introduction of economically viable value chains based on charcoal raw materials from waste biomass in NWE. The project is based on the predecessor project RE-DIRECT, which has shown that it is possible and sustainable to use charcoal as an alternative raw material for products in the agricultural, waste water, health and cosmetics industries. The project will promote the development of high quality products and value chains based on charcoal raw materials in the participating regions in DE, BE, UK, IE, FR and NL in order to introduce a climate-friendly and sustainable Circular Carbon Economy in NWE. The project is led by an interdisciplinary project team of universities, public institutions, business support and regional development agencies and experts in capacity building, investment and marketing. During the project period: - 7 regional Circular Carbon Hubs (CC-Hubs) will be established for product and business development and marketing, - Circular Carbon-Labs (CC-Labs) will develop quality control mechanisms for tailor-made products and raw materials, - 1 European umbrella organisation (CC-Net) provides business support, continuous vocational training and advice for SMEs in the new sector. 3 Investments for a mobile demonstration plant, a central prototype quality laboratory and a CC hub in a remote rural area will be realised. A total of 250 stakeholders working in product and service development in the new sector will be supported over the duration of the project, including professionals from at least 14 start-ups and 70 SMEs. 21 product lines and value chains will be developed in all regions and sectors. Europe-wide marketing and supply will be promoted via the CC net and its European marketing platform for charcoal products.

Description (FR):

THREE C vise à développer des chaînes de valeur viables dans l’Europe du Nord-Ouest, en s’appuyant sur la valorisation de sous-produits végétaux locaux. THREE C s’appuie sur le projet précédent RE-DIRECT, qui a montré la possibilité d'utiliser la biomasse sous forme de charbon pour substituer des produits actuellement utilisés dans les secteurs de l'agriculture, du traitement de l’eau, de la santé et des cosmétiques. Le projet encouragera l’application de produits de haute qualité dans les régions participantes de DE, BE, UK, IE, FR et NL afin de créer des boucles d’économie circulaire respectueuses de l'environnement et durable. Le projet est mené par une équipe de projet interdisciplinaire composée d'universités, d'institutions publiques, d'agences de développement régionale et de soutien aux entreprises, et d'experts en formation, investissement et marketing. Pendant la durée du projet: - 7 plateformes régionales d’économie circulaire du Carbone (CC-Hubs) seront créées pour le développement d’activités contribuant à la valorisation de biomasses locales, - 1 laboratoire sur l’économie circulaire du Carbone, développera des mécanismes de contrôle de la qualité des produits et des matières premières sur mesure, - 1 réseau européenne (CC-Net) fournira un soutien aux entreprises, une formation professionnelle continue et des conseils aux PME du nouveau secteur. 3 investissements seront réalisés autour d’une unité mobile de démonstration, un prototype de laboratoire d’analyse de la qualité et un CC-Hub dans une zone rurale éloignée. 250 acteurs travaillant seront soutenus pendant le projet, y compris des professionnels d'au moins 14 jeunes entreprises et 70 PME. 21 lignes de produits et chaînes de valeur seront développées dans les régions et les secteurs identifiés. La commercialisation des produits à base de charbon à l'échelle européenne sera promue via le réseau (CC-net).
