The project “Best available techniques to recover or recycle fertilising products from secondary raw materials” is funded under the HORIZON 2024 “Zero pollution” programme. The project aims to analyse best available technologies for recycling fertilisers from secondary materials. It advises policymakers and stakeholders on alternative fertilising products, ensuring balanced nitrogen and phosphorus flows and promoting soil health and structure within ecological limits at regional and local levels.
The ECN is included in several work packages and will produce a policy brief on best available techniques to aid decisions on legislation impacting the production and use of fertilising products as well as recommendations to practitioners supporting the practical implementation of technologies and resulting products on their land. Furthermore, the ECN will engage in an international stakeholder network.
The project starts in January 2025 and will end in December 2027. It is coordinated by the Dutch Biomass Technology Group BV (BTG). Among the ECN, project partners are the Spanish Fundación CARTIF, the Greek Ethnicon Metsovion Polytechnion, the Italian Universita degli studi di Torino, the Polish Politechnika Wroclawska, the European Biogas Association and Greenovate! Europe.
The project held its kick-off meeting on 23 January in Enschede (The Netherlands). During the meeting, all project partners were gathered to introduce themselves and discuss the work to be carried out over the next 3 years. This enabled everyone to get a better overview of the project and to get the project off to a flying start.
