Deliverables

Documents, reports (5)

Soil fertility situation and fertilization needs at the demo sites

D14 will define the soil fertility situation and fertilization needs at the demo sites as described in Task 14 and will comprise a survey to define the situation at the demo sites with regards to fertility water retention capacity agricultural methods employed crops etc

Report on identification of energy, water and soil needs

D12 The report on identification of energy water and soil needs will comprise following the description of task 12 electricity and heating also cooling needs in the three scenarios proposed water supply at the demo sites and actual requirements assessing if there is deficit correct supply or superavit and the needs for fertilizer in the surrounding areas with focus on local farmers

Identification of the water necessities and regulatory issues

D13 Identification of the water necessities and regulatory issues comparing existing regulations regulatory water frameworks from WHO and the EU and a best practice guide for the testing methods required precision and quality parameters Linked to Task 13

Matrix database of necessary biomass pre-treatments
