Problems and solutions underlying the birth of the Gas Loop Operational Group
The Po Valley basin represents one of the areas with the highest ammonia and particulate matter concentrations of (PM2.5 and PM10) in Europe. Ammonia causes health problems in livestock farms, odours and it is an important precursor of fine dust. The stagnation of pollutants (ammonia NH3, nitrogen oxides NOx and sulphur oxides SOx) on the basin makes particularly important the reactions between them and produces a large amount of fine particulate matter. The activities and challenges of the GAS LOOP innovation are: • To develop a pilot able to clean the air and to recover ammonia from pig livestock • To implement the system up to a Technological Maturity Level equal to TRL 9 (ready for market); • To monitor and evaluate the air washing treatment efficiency, the avoided ammonia emissions and the enhanced indoor air quality for human operator and animal; • To produce, quantify and characterize the recovered fertilizer (ammonium sulphate solution) in a view of Nutrient Recovery and Circular Economy; • To evaluate GHG (t CO2eq) reduction due to replacement of N industrial fertilizers; • To increase the animal welfare and productivity due to better air quality inside the pig housing, • Dissemination of the activities and the results, Training courses on the topic of the emissions reduction and training-demo visits.

A Bio-inspired Multilayer Drainage System
Agricultural run-off and subsurface drainage tiles transport a significant amount of nitrogen and phosphorus leached after fertilization. alchemia-nova GmbH in collaboration with University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna developed two multi-layer vertical filter systems to address the agricultural run-off issue, which has been installed on the slope of an agricultural field in Mistelbach, Austria. While another multi-layer addressing subsurface drainage water is implemented in Gleisdorf, Austria. The goal is to develop a drainage filter system to retain water and nutrients. Both multi-layer filter systems contain biochar and other substrates with adsorption properties of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus). The filter system can be of practical use if an excess of nutrients being washed out is of concern in the fields of the practitioner by keeping the surrounding waters clean. This approach may result in economic value by re-using the saturated biochar as fertilizer and improving the soil structure, thus increasing long-term soil fertility.

NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No 858735This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No 858735. FACTSHEET NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY Key information Functionalized nanocellulose membranes can take up nitrate and phosphate. These membranes can be put in a water treatment unit. As the membranes are biobased, degradable materials, they can after use be added to the soil, thus returning the leached nutrients back for their original purpose providing fertilizers (nutrient recycling).
