Recourse efficient value chains though ash recycling to fast-growing broadleaved tree plantations for increased biomass production
Ash recycling to fast growing broadleaf tree plantations might generate 45 TWh/y by 2045 were 30 TWhis made possible through application of as
Ash recycling increases not only the production per unit area but also the possible planting areas by creating an integrated value chain combining urban and rural residues with biomass production systems such as poplar and birch.
The project develops sustainable value chains for ash recycling and biomass production of fast growing deciduous tree species (poplar and birch).
The project will develop the value chain by solving problems with key processes, i.e. identifying properties of the ash required to improve biomass production. In addition, laws/regulations, technical-economic and environmental aspects are evaluated to realize the value chain.
