Objectives
Steinbeis Innovation gGmbH | Hartmut Welck | [email protected]
• 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
Steinbeis Innovation gGmbH | Hartmut Welck | [email protected]
• 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!

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

Preliminary results
18Steinbeis Innovation gGmbH | Hartmut Welck | [email protected]
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 !
