Bio-waste is a key waste stream in Europe with a high potential for contributing to a more circular economy.

The Tech4Biowaste project will pave the way for deployment of bio-waste technologies and technology configurations by setting-up a database providing a comprehensive technology overview (TRL4-9) for the valorisation of bio-waste (food waste, garden waste, municipal waste) into value added applications including organic soil improvers, fertilisers, organic chemicals, fuels and energy. | ||
The database content will be determined jointly with actors across the bio-waste value chain. Technology providers can showcase new and emerging technologies, even at lower TRL. Technology searchers can analyse and compare bio-waste valorisation technologies. Both categories of users can assess their commercialisation potential through the associated decision support tool. | The database content will be determined jointly with actors across the bio-waste value chain.

The | == Objectives == | ||
Main objectives of the Tech4Biowaste project are: | |||
*To offer stakeholders along the bio-based value-chain with different backgrounds and expertise a '''one-stop and comprehensive bio-waste technology overview''' that allows to analyse and compare bio-waste valorisation technologies. | |||
* To reach the stakeholders through offering high visibility and unique features based on the '''latest IT technologies''' as well as '''co-creation''' and '''training''' opportunities, generating significant database usage for those interested in bio-waste utilisation and valorisation technologies. | |||
* To pave the way for the '''deployment of bio-waste technologies''' and technology configurations by assessing the '''commercialisation potential''' with respect to continuity planning for technology suppliers, technology searchers and users reflecting regional differences in bio-waste availability and composition. | |||
* To generate and engage an increasing number of database users for future '''database expansion''' by embedding and integrating the bio-waste technology database into the Renewable Carbon Community platform. Thus actively targeting stakeholders within the broader areas of biomass utilisation and linked technologies. | |||
* To ensure the '''long-term operation''' of the database by setting up a business model and governance structure for the platform. | |||
== History and timeline == | |||
[[File:Tech4Biowaste Timeline.png|thumb|Timeline of the Tech4Biowaste project]] | |||
The Tech4Biowaste project officially startet in April 2021. In general, the project is divided in 4 phases which are: | |||
* Feasibility | |||
* Validation | |||
* Roll-out | |||
* Expansion | |||
After the official end of the project in April 2023 the Tech4Biowaste database continues its operation and will be available for users and contributors. | |||
