| Abstract |
SUCELLOG project aims to widespread the participation of the agrarian sector in the sustainable supply of solid biofuels in Europe. The project focuses on the implementation of logistic centres in the agro-industries as a complement to their usual activity in France, Italy, Spain and Austria. Agro-industries are equipped with pelletisers, drying systems, silos, conveyors and work in most of the cases under seasonal regime. These facilities can be utilised in the idle periods to handle and pre-treat biomass feedstocks obtained from different agrarian residues existing in the area. They can produce quality solid biomass to be introduced in the market or consumed in their own facility. This paper will present the major outcomes of the project to stakeholders of the agrarian sector after one and a half year of the project start. The project offered technical support to 4 European agroindustries aiming to start new agro-industry logistic centres in their facilities by providing an evaluation of their boundary conditions, a feasibility study and a complete business model. Furthermore, capacity building for agrarian associations has been organised with training sessions, workshops and other engagement events. Two handbooks and technical guidelines has been elaborated in order to widespread the knowledge created. |
