S2Biom Database of biomass conversion technologies

Posted on by LIFT-Team

The S2Biom project supported the sustainable delivery of non-food biomass feedstock at local, regional and pan European level through developing harmonised data sets, strategies, and roadmaps at local, regional, national and pan European level for EU28, Western Balkans, Ukraine, Moldova and Turkey. The project improved scientific evidence on the availability, cost supply, technologies and framework conditions (policy, financing, sustainability) for lignocellulosic non-food biomass by 2030.

This report describes the S2Biom database on biomass conversion technologies, describing technologies in the following main categories:

  • Direct combustion
  • Gasification (and the syngas platform)
  • Fast Pyrolysis
  • Torrefaction
  • Techniques from the pulp and paper industry
  • Biochemical conversion technologies

The S2Biom project supported the sustainable delivery of non-food biomass feedstock at local, regional and pan European level through developing harmonised data sets, strategies, and roadmaps at local, regional, national and pan European level for EU28, Western Balkans, Ukraine, Moldova and Turkey. The project improved scientific evidence on the availability, cost supply, technologies and framework conditions (policy, financing, sustainability) for lignocellulosic non-food biomass by 2030.

This S2Biom report contains regional cost supply biomass potentials for EU 28, Western Balkan Countries, Moldavia, Turkey and Ukraine (D1.8)

S2Biom Database on lignocellulosic biomass characteristics

Posted on by LIFT-Team

The S2Biom project supported the sustainable delivery of non-food biomass feedstock at local, regional and pan European level through developing harmonised data sets, strategies, and roadmaps at local, regional, national and pan European level for EU28, Western Balkans, Ukraine, Moldova and Turkey. The project improved scientific evidence on the availability, cost supply, technologies and framework conditions (policy, financing, sustainability) for lignocellulosic non-food biomass by 2030.

A database for standardized biomass characterization was developed and populated for all lignocellulosic biomass types covered in the S2Biom project. This database was intended to be used to determine, if certain biomass types can be used as feedstocks for specific conversion technologies.

The biomass characteristics and the conversion technology requirement characteristics were combined to develop the biomass matching tool Bio2Match.

 

 

 

S2Biom Integrated tool set on lignocellulosic non-food biomass

Posted on by LIFT-Team

The S2Biom project supported the sustainable delivery of non-food biomass feedstock at local, regional and pan European level through developing harmonised data sets, strategies, and roadmaps at local, regional, national and pan European level for EU28, Western Balkans, Ukraine, Moldova and Turkey. The project improved scientific evidence on the availability, cost supply, technologies and framework conditions (policy, financing, sustainability) for lignocellulosic non-food biomass by 2030.

The S2BIOM toolset serves as repository for all data, tools, documents and reports generated in the project. The S2BIOM tools can be used in various ways:

  • to make sub-selections for data you are interested in; 
  • to design biomass delivery chains and evaluate the performance;
  • to obtain to-the-point information on specific issues of relevance for developing a biomass delivery chains (like key characteristics on logistical components, biomass conversion technologies, matching of biomass types with technologies, biomass potentials, cost and characteristics, biomass markets, sustainability issues, policies and regulations, and national biomass strategies).

Technical characteristics of all toolset components are described here: https://s2biom.wenr.wur.nl/doc/S2Biom_D4_10_technical%20description%20toolset_Ver%202_FINAL.pdf

Detailed guidelines to users of the S2BIOM toolset are presented here: https://s2biom.wenr.wur.nl/doc/S2Biom_D4_11_User%20guide%20toolset_Ver%201_FINAL.pdf

Assessment study report of indirect declaration techniques to determine total bio-based content

Posted on by LIFT Team

This report covers approaches for the indirect calculation of total bio-based content. Indirect methods are useful when the bio-based product is not manufactured in a dedicated facility, causing potential fluctuations in the amount of biomass incorporated into the final article. The choice of potential methods is large, and how they are put into practice can vary the output dramatically.

Assessment of the current ICT, IoT, and Industry 4.0 solutions in European biomass utilization

Posted on by ICT-BIOCHAIN project

This report introduces a collection of ICT, IoT and Industry 4.0 technologies utilized in Biomass Supply Chains that constitute current state-of-the-art along with their brief descriptions. The technologies are divided by the location of their applications into two categories:
a) regional state-of-the-art describes solutions utilized in the involved demonstrator regions of Andalusia, Spain, and South-Eastern Ireland;
b) Pan-European state-of-the-art describes solutions utilized in other regions of Europe.

Best Practice Sheet in the EIP-AGRI format

Posted on by LIFT-Team

The deliverable D3.8 “Best practice sheet in the EIP-AGRI format”, is aimed to present the results achieved in the collection of the first 20 practices for the ENABLING project.
While being a relevant outcome for the upcoming project activities, the Document aims to be a useful and inspirational source of information for practitioners and potential stakeholders of the bioeconomy sector

Information matrix for the provision of data on availability of resources and identification of industrial processes

Posted on by LIFT-Team

This Deliverable is a matrix, with its associated instructions for compilation, provided to partners involved in T2.1 (Characterisation of biomass resources) and T2.2 (Identification of industrial processes) for the collection of information and data on biomass resources availability in the participating territories and on industrial processes and demand.

The Biomass Matrix Tool for BBPs has been developed as an Excel workbook file with a Cover Page, Maps Tool, Biomass Calculation Sheet and Industrial Processes Identification Sheet. It has been developed in conjunction with all ENABLING Project Partners involved in WP2. It is intended to be a “Living Document” that can be updated during the life of the ENABLING Project as new technologies and additional information on biomass resources become available.
