Description

Description (EN):

The BIOVAC project aims at combining renewable energy production with different biomass conversion pathways, such as efficient direct combustion,, micro CHP, syngas and hydrothermal carbonisation while utilizing by-products and wastes from agriculture, waste water treatment plant and forest industry. Waste water, sludges and sidestreams from agriculture and industry will be utilized for biomass production via short rotation coppicing to provide raw bioresources for conversion to innovative value-added products such as fuels, sugars, carbon and chemicals. The introduction of short rotation coppicing can help reduce nutrient leakage from animal and crop husbandry, from entering and accumulating in waterways while producing local biomass resources for different conversion pathways. Through this chain both economic, ecological and social benefits can be accumulated for local societies dependent on the prevalent agriculture and industries processing local wood resources. New business opportunities generate employment and help create a critical mass by joining biomass producers with industries dependent on biomass resources and consumers. These linkages will decrease GHG emissions, improve energy efficiency and increase energy self-sufficiency through creating a new local energy resource. As a result, the BIOVAC project will produce a calculation tool for evaluating the economics and use an existing tool for ecological footprints of the whole conversion chain from biomass production to final energy products adapted for the project area but transferable to other areas taking into account local conditions.
