Objectives


• Bringing added value to agriculture and forest sectors by closing the research and innovation divide related to biomass sidestreams -> promoting a Bioeconomy 2.0

6

Objectives


• AGRIFORVALOR will close the research and innovation divide by connecting multi-actors in innovation partnership networks in order to valorise and exploit sidestreambiomass resources from agriculture and forestry in a sustainable way!

=> Turning waste, by-products and residues from agriculture and forestry which are non-food competitive into a valorised sidestream!

7

Vision

Connecting a range of stakeholders in order to:• Achieve new value chains

• Stimulate biomass sidestream market uptakes into value-added products

Project LifeCycle: 01.03.2016 -31.08.2018

Main Target Groups• Farmers/Foresters:

– Becoming active partner in the biomass sidestream value chain.– Gaining knowledge and receiving support in exploiting R&D&I results and exploring

business development.

• (Bio)Industry: – Raising awareness of the potential and opportunities of sidestream biomass applications

along the chain of 5 Fs: (food, feed, fuel, fine-chemicals, fertiliser).– Profiting from new business models based on forestry and agriculture biomass

sidestreams.

• Research and Academia:– Closing the research and innovation divide through better-directed research and

development based on demands identified by practitioners.


Methodology• Setting-up innovation partnership

networks managed by− 3 Biomass Innovation Design Hubs:

• Spain (Andalucia)• Hungary• Ireland

− Hub managers coordinateinter- and intra- hub activities

− Hub steering committeesoffer tailored innovation support


Services - 1

Identification and matching existing research results and good practices on valorization of biomass sidestreams from agriculture and forest with the specific needs of practitioners and with hub potentials


Services - 2Setting up innovation partnership groups along new value

chains


Services - 3 (Further) exploitation of promising research results and Good

practices according to the needs and regional potential and opportunities

- Reaching higher TRL overcoming the valley of death

- Learning from good practice cases


Services - 4 Identifying new grass-roots ideas and developing business

models looking for new business opportunities


Services - 5


Offering a tailored mix of innovation support measures mainly on hub level but as well on inter-hub levels:

⇒ Workshops & Trainings & Missions⇒ Mentorings & Coachings⇒ Online tools (webinars, sidestream value tool)

Services - 6AGRIFORVALOR acts as:

- mediator and facilitator for new (commercial and technological) opportunities for the agriculture and forest sectors in Europe


Preliminary results


RTD results

• >50 identified


RTD results - Conclusion

• Research is focusing actually on multi-exploitation potentialsin view of a cascading usage of sidestreams– Less on energy but more on bioactive and biochemical

substances to replace fossil-based/produced substances• Added value by valorization of co-products

=> By-product management becomes more important!

Good practices preliminary results

• 29 Good practices* identified in the three hubs andon a wider EU level– 2 have feed applications, – 4 have applications for fertilizers, – 6 have food applications,– 9 have applications for functional materials/fine chemicals, – 17 have fuel applications

* multi-applications

24

Good practices preliminary results forIreland

• 3 million tonnes per annum straw is produced from the cereal sector mainly used in animal bedding and composting

• Animal by-products amounting to 550,000 tonnes per annum (150,000 Meat and bone meal) is exported, disposed of or used in pet food and leather production.

• Manure and poultry litters, mainly land spread• Large amounts of residues are also produced from the dairy industry. • Over 1 million tonnes of sawmill residues are produced in Ireland annually.

=> Sidestreams are mainly used for energy production in IE today !
