POWER4BIO pretende capacitar a las regiones de la UE (Unión Europea), especialmente en los países de Europa central y oriental, para apoyar a los responsables políticos y a otras partes locales interesadas en la toma de las decisiones más adecuadas para su transición hacia la bioeconomía. Se ha desarrollado un amplio catálogo de modelos de negocio adaptados a las necesidades reales de la región, teniendo en cuenta la cadena de valor completa (desde los proveedores de biomasa hasta los mercados finales), conseguir desarrollar plenamente el potencial de su bioeconomía. El compromiso de las partes interesadas se ha conseguido gracias a la participación y alineamiento de diez regiones de la UE y una red regional con el apoyo de numerosas partes interesadas dentro y fuera del consorcio. Este enfoque ha servido para apoyar a la bioeconomía de todas las regiones participantes y la sostenibilidad de sus resultados, independientemente del estado de madurez de su bioeconomía.

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.

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).
Because variables such as temperature and humidity have a profound effect on the activity of crop pests, diseases and natural enemies, the ability to monitor environmental conditions within a crop has always been important for crop protection.
