and urban organic waste biorefinery
Aim and thematic areas
The valorisation of agrifood and urban organic
wastes and by-products is evolving towards a fully and sustainable use through
biorefinery models. This live training is aimed to share the current overview
of technologies that allow to develop those biorefinery models with the
attendants.
To this end, an ambitious programme has been
prepared with studies cases and reference projects of the biorefining field.
These are the main thematic areas (check the web site of the seminar to know the whole programme):
- Biorefineries in the bioeconomy strategical
framework of the EU.
- Urban biomass.
- Lignocellulosic agrifood biomass.
- Livestock biorefinery (livestock excrements).
- Vegetable and fruit, wine and oil biomass.
- Aquatic biomass.
Small-scale
biorefinery focus
Altough the biorefinery denomination could evoke only
large facilities similar to oil refineries, the fact is that it is also
possible to develop multi-feedstock small-scale models
in rural areas. Nor it is necessary for the biorefineries to be new
facilities but also they can be existent plants (biogas plants, wastewater
stations…) that evolve towards more complex biorefinery models. The new
circular bioeconomy will stimulate the creation of multisectorial value chains
that ensure the commercialisation of the bioproducts generated in the
small-scale biorefineries. During the seminar, the professionals will have networking
opportunities to boost the development of those value chains.
