Deliverables:
- – Evaluation of biorefinery products’ use in plant-soil and other sectors of consumer products / Benefits of selected biorefinery products from WP2 (Ax.2) are evaluated in consumer sectors for plant based food, ornamentals, feed, industrial fibres, energy. Products for agri-/ horticulture are applied on different crop types benefitting crops, soil and carbon storage. Solutions are developed for the hurdles identified. Best practices are determined in pot and demonstrated in field trials. For other sectors, the product's substitution potentials are shown. The results are jointly reported.
- User needs definition / Target users within the project are identified. Interactions include face-to-face meetings, online and telephone discussions. The specific data requirements of the aimed users are defined for bioresource and logistics related issues. The specific needs and priorities of the target users are identified, taking into account their regional contexts. They are formalized and shared with external target users. External target users are selected and interviewed. WP1 is framed and connected to WP2-4.
- Characterization of residue-based bioresources / Partners discuss which bioresources (Ax.2) are considered and how: general assignment, basic/special analysis, parameters to analyse. Connections are made to bioresource providers, also in the pilot regions (WP3). Provided bioresources are analysed for bio-chemical/physical properties. They are classified according to their specifications and origins. The data on properties and composition are provided to WP1 for inclusion in the database. Key information are prepared for the action guide.
- Analysing the pilot regions / Selected pilot regions (Ax.1b) are assessed for TBN initiation potentials. The analysis within specific geographical boundaries considers available residue-based bioresources, available technical units for bioresource treatment as well as local product demands. WP1s digital package is used to gather and visualise regional data. WP2s activities provides assistance with process information and identification of gaps in regional processing. Also legislative barriers and chances are identified.
- Advancement of the database structure and integration of data / A database framework and data integration approach is developed that organises and delivers data in a way that meets the needs of target users. One activity is to develop a framework for collecting, storing, and sharing the data. This includes the IT-infrastructure adaption and guidelines for data handling. The second activity is data integration: Public databases are selected and linked to the IT-system; and data provided by partners in WP2, 3 and 4 are integrated into the system.
- Investigation into processes / Key processes (Ax.2) to make material / energy products from residue-based bioresources are investigated in lab, demo and practice scale building on previous projects (C3.6). Outcomes from literature are considered as well and connected. Pre- and post-treatments as well as the main process conditions and requirements are defined for TBN applications. Data are compiled, key performance indicators developed, one report is prepared, information provided to WP1, and extracted for the action guide.
- Defining and preparing showcases / Each pilot region has a demonstration topic and hosts one or more showcase locations (Ax. 1b). The showcases are defined regarding currently used bioresources and processes as well as products generated and their whereabouts. The potentials for new bioresources, processes and products are evaluated with the support of WP1/2. The showcase host's green transition goals and barriers, contacts and specificities are assessed through interviews to find out to what extent it can be a TBN initiator.
- Describing environmental and socio-economic benefits / Environmental benefits of biorefinery products are shown based on results from WP2/3 and Ac. 4.1 considering climate change, biodiversity, nitrogen issues, as well as legal, socio-economic barriers to their use. Products are assessed for their economic value and their indirect carbon storage benefits. Local stakeholders get involved (e.g. on-site workshops) to identify their and specific territorial interests with definition of verification indicators. Results are jointly reported.
- Extension of the webtool BRIT / BRIT, the bioresources information webtool (initiated in FLEXIBI/SOILCOM, C3.6), is enhanced to provide key information on regional bioresources for TBN design. The upgrades include an improved user interface, an interface for automatic data retrieval, a refinement of the existing modules (bibliography, maps, materials, sources, inventories), and a new sink-source compatibility module for bioresources. The digital architecture will be adapted to prepare the tool for user's needs.
- Investigation into pollutants / The pollutant potential of residue-based products is investigated as a function of residues and process chains. Pollutants are analysed and studied in synergy with other projects (C3.6). Measures to minimise their occurrence are developed. Reduction measures include technical, organisational and awareness-raising measures. They consider the product use in soil-plant and other systems. Results are compiled in one report, linked to WP1 and applied in WP3/4. Key infos are prepared for the guide.
- Linking of showcases / Each showcase is specific and considers therefore specific chains linking bioresources, processes and products. To come from one or more chains to a territorial network, different chains need to be combined. To initiate such a process, partners from different showcases learn from each other through visits, exchanges and practical on-site experiences. Regular communication between the regional teams strengthens cooperation and helps to select key stakeholders in the showcase areas for outreach.
- Extracting and condensing solutions to producers of consumer products / In the communication initiative, the extensive knowledge on processes, products and their uses (WP2, Ac. 4.1/2) is extracted and condensed for an applied context to support product manufacturers and users, consultants and authorities in implementing TBNs or parts thereof. The information from the reports is translated into a practical guide with manuals and fact sheets, also in form of presentations to inform stakeholders. Showcase experiences (WP3) are used to explain practical examples.
- Extension of the software LOG / The logistics software LOG (initiated in DECISIVE, C3.6), which can find optimal process locations and transport routes, is extended to support TBN design. A new algorithm takes into account a wider range of optimisation criteria and parameters. A link to the database is established and the software tested to make it ready for use in the pilot regions (WP3). Options to make the LOG software more user-friendly and interactive are explored.
- Characterization of products to support plant-soil systems / Residue-based products (Ax.2) are characterized for their value-adding properties on plants and soils in rural and urban environments. The products for soil improvement, plant protection, stimulation, and nutrition result from processes of ac. 2.2 and are optionally topped with selected additions. The work is based on results from earlier projects (C3.6) and complemented. Results are compiled in one report, linked to WP1 and applied in WP3/4. Key infos are prepared for the action guide.
- Preparing showcases transfer / Workshops are organized in each showcase region to bring together a range of stakeholders (authorities, suppliers, processors, consumers) to discuss the scalability and feasibility of the showcase elements and to find ways to transfer them into wider practice. The results of WP4 are used to inform on the benefits and barriers of implementing these ideas. Selected transfer ideas are further developed using WP1/2 elements. The workshops will also include discussions on expectations for full TBNs.
- Strategising the introduction of Territorial Biorefinery Networks / Based on the knowledge and experiences from all former activities (WP1-4), the most promising elements to realise a TBN are selected and generalized for replication. This selection and generalisation process takes place in a series of internal events, bringing together the transnational expertise of the different project participants. The strategy is written down as a condensed digital document and tuned within the events (6) with the purpose of transregional application (Ac. 4.5.).
- Advancement of visualisation approaches / Results from BRIT and LOG are visualised through graphs and maps, tailored to target user's needs. This customisation process involves discussing requirements with partners to create visualisations that meet their audiences and communication goals. Guidelines with templates are provided for representing territorial information. A map creation tool automates the process using the chosen templates. This visualisation approach supports partners in various activities throughout the project.
- Characterization of products to support other applications / Residue based products, which are useful for other than soil-plant applications are characterised regarding their value-adding properties. The considered material and energy products (Ax.2) result from the process chains in ac. 2.2. The characterisation work is based on results from earlier projects (C3.6) and complemented by selected additions, based on outcomes from brainstorm events. One report is compiled, linked to WP1 and applied in WP3/4. Key infos are prepared for the action guide.
- Linking stakeholders to foster territorial biorefinery networks / Stakeholders which are important for TBN development are linked with two approaches: Bilateral communications and smaller meeting with a few participants are used to connect stakeholders with different backgrounds to initiate new process chains. Stakeholders with similar thematic backgrounds are informed and connected via workshops to establish a wide outreach of similar approaches. The regional linkages potential is documented and model linkages are proposed for replication.
- Spreading the vision of Territorial Biorefinery Networks / To spread the vision of TBNs, a series of external events (6) is carried out, focusing on different key stakeholder types. The target audiences are determined as a conclusion of the strategy discussions in Ac. 4.4. The presentations from Ac. 4.4 are used. The digital document containing the strategy with the general direction towards TBNs and references to results from WP1-4 is promoted. Connections with authorities, associations and organizations are established to promote the vision of TBNs.
- Communication of the digital package / The digital package is actively promoted to potential users. A digital leaflet with guidelines and templates is produced, placed on the website and send with the digital newsletter. A short animation video is made to explain the possibilities of the package. In each country, an online event is held to enhance awareness and understanding of the package. 6 live events are carried out using CLOSECYCLE subjects as training examples. Trainings are carried out partly supported by a touch table.
- Communication on processes and products / The action guide is prepared. The guide and other outcomes of ac. 2.1-5 are shared through live and online events, stakeholder websites and newsletters, articles in professional magazines (2 per country) targeting industry, municipality, agri- and horticulture stakeholders and product consumers. The secondary target groups refer to teaching, training, and science and is reached through lecture materials, scientific publications, and presentations at events.
- Designing territorial biorefinery networks / A TBN approach is developed for each pilot region. It makes use of the showcase experiences and the different types of established regional and transregional stakeholder linkages. An appropriate combination of stakeholders is identified, together with a facilitator with a strong potential to link residue owners, processors and product consumers. The digital package from WP1, the process guide from WP2 and information on product uses from WP3 are used to support the network design.
- Communication on Territorial Biorefinery Network strategy / Additional communication activities promote TBNs at regional/ transnational levels. Specific results from Ac. 4.1/2 are promoted at academic and industry conferences and are published. Moreover, communication on trials and product use benefits are disseminated via professional articles and websites. A promotion video explaining TBNs and selected circular models is prepared and promoted via the project-website, newsletters and press releases together with the digital strategy handbook (Ac. 4.5).
- Communication on showcases / The conclusions of the stakeholder events (Ac. 3.3-5) and the reports (Ac. 3.2, 3.6) are condensed and the information is shared online in the target audience networks. This applies in particular to showcases, TBN concepts and best practice initiations. The results of the activities and the lessons learned are communicated through articles on websites, in magazines and in journals. A short video is made from each showcase with interviews of the stakeholders. Testimonials are also provided.
Contribution to wider strategies and policies:
- CLOSECYCLE contributes to the following Green Deal objectives: improved air, water, soil, biodiversity and healthier food. The project is working towards Territorial Biorefinery Networks (TBN). These help to keep residue-based bioresources within the local economy of NSR regions, improving nutrient cycles and land use. The project contributes through low emission processes resulting in products to support sustainable food production and healthy soils involving multiple stakeholders.
- CLOSECYCLE contributes to this action plan for a cleaner and more competitive Europe by spreading options for creating local uses for otherwise discarded or under-utilised bioresources. It considers the whole life-cycle of residual bioresources from communities, industry, nature conservation and forestry. The projects and their showcases engage stakeholders and local government representatives to rethink the uses and flows of bioresources in the NSR, promoting circular economy principles.
- The Bioeconomy Strategy aims to accelerate a sustainable European bioeconomy. CLOSECYCLE supports all objectives of the strategy: The processes and showcases using rural and urban residues and producing multiple bio-based material and energy products, support food security, sustainability of natural resources, avoidance of unsustainable resources and climate protection. Local bioeconomies are also strengthened by mobilising local stakeholders, linked to green jobs and increased competitiveness.
- CLOSECYCLE contributes to territorial cohesion for a just and green Europe by sharing knowledge and a strategy for implementingon of TBNs in the NSR and beyond. It promotes the regional application of solutions that turn waste from the region into products for the region. This promotes regional development and cohesion by linking urban and rural economies, creating jobs, reducing dependence on fossil resources and promoting the circular economy through efficient waste valorisation.
- The Waste Framework Directive sets out the basic principles of waste management. CLOSECYCLE contributes to its implementation by proposing efficient processes for different waste bioresource streams. Attention is paid to the quality of municipal bioresources to achieve high quality end products, while separate collection of biowaste is important. CLOSECYCLE provides regional biowaste inventories with specific information. Overall, it helps to increase the quality and quantity of end products.
- The European Soil Strategy is a framework that proposes concrete measures to protect and restore soils. One of the objectives is that by 2050 it is a common standard to manage soils sustainable to restore degraded soils. CLOSECYCLE supports this goal by proposing the regular use of a variety of bio-based products on soils and crops. The multiple benefits in terms of improving soil structure, soil life and preventing from soil erosion are demonstrated.
- The Zero Pollution Vision for 2050 is to reduce air, water and soil pollution to levels no longer considered harmful to health and ecosystems. CLOSECYCLE supports its targets by optimising agricultural and industrial composting systems to mitigate leaching and air emission of nitrogen compounds, and by producing composts and organic fertilisers to enhance soil quality and nutrient retention. Moreover, promoting circular economy approaches will help recycle bioresources and reduce waste streams.
- The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) with Farm to Fork Strategy aims to ensure a fair, healthy, and environmentally friendly food systems, safeguard farmers' incomes, protect the environment and keep rural areas vibrant. CLOSECYCLE promotes such farming practices, a rural development, and resilience of the food system. By enhancing nutrient reuse from local bioresources, it reduces mineral fertilizers, lowers environmental impact, supports biodiversity, and TBNs create economic opportunities.
- CLOSECYCLE supports communication for Europe's digital transformation. It contributes to the strategy for a fair and competitive digital economy by providing digital tools and an open framework for data sharing. The project outputs will make bioresource, process and product data and information easily digitally accessible, enabling new, improved and optimised processes and sustainability assessments, all of which will support the digital transformation of the bioeconomy.
- CLOSECYCLE contributes to this long-term plan to protect nature and reverse ecosystems degradation through its showcases (nature protection area, municipality and farms) and its product suggestions for healthy soils and plants. Sustainable options for managing residues from nature reserves and natural grasslands are provided. Farmers, urban stakeholders and local governments are involved to create products that support soil-plant systems and thus a more complex soil and plant life.
- CLOSECYCLE contributes to the EU Industrial Strategy for a globally competitive, green and digital Europe by fostering collaboration between different stakeholders, including SMEs. The project supports the digital design and formation of TBNs that will create clean energy and products, jobs and skills for industrial transformation. Sustainable industrial practices will be exemplified through the demonstration of bioresource valorisation innovations and through collaboration in TBNs.
- CLOSECYCLE contributes to the Maritime Policy by providing solutions to reduce eutrophication in NSR seas. The project capitalises on processes that lead to reduced reactive nitrogen emissions and on produces such as composts, organic fertilisers, and soil improvers. These products enhance nutrient retention in soils, reducing nutrient leaching from agriculture to surface waters. This mitigates eutrophication and supports the sustainable development of sea-based activities and coastal regions.
