Projektbeschreibung
Eine Doppelnutzung für die Energie- und Nahrungsmittelerzeugung
Die Photovoltaik (PV) hat sich zur bevorzugten erneuerbaren Energiequelle entwickelt. Photovoltaikparks werden jedoch auf Bodenflächen installiert, weshalb weniger Land für den Pflanzenanbau zur Verfügung steht. Das EU-finanzierte Projekt HyPErFarm schlägt die Nutzung kombinierter agrar-voltaischer Systeme vor, durch die Flächen, die durch Photovoltaikparks genutzt werden, auch weiterhin für die Nahrungsmittelerzeugung zur Verfügung stehen. Durch die Beteilung verschiedener Interessengruppen möchte das Projektteam tragfähige agrar-voltaische Geschäftsmodelle optimieren und die Marktfähigkeit des Systems untersuchen. Es wird an neuen innovativen Technologien und Methoden zur pflanzlichen Erzeugung arbeiten, Innovationsseminare mit Interessengruppen organisieren und die Akzeptanz durch die Bevölkerung sowie die Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher fördern. Darüber hinaus wird HyPErFarm neue Systeme für die Nutzung und Verteilung der Energie entwickeln und demonstrieren, die auf der landwirtschaftlichen Fläche durch elektronische Roboter, Wärmepumpen, die Wasserstofferzeugung und die elektronisch gesteuerte Pyrolyse von Biomasse-Abfallprodukten produziert wird.
Ziel
The sustainable development goals of the UN and climate targets of the EU require that all economic sectors sharply reduce fossil-based use. However, the agricultural sector has the potential to not only greatly defossilize, but even produce energy – and that not to the detriment of, but alongside with food production. Photovoltaic (PV) has become dramatically more competitive relative to other renewable energy sources, and is now as competitive as wind power. Currently, PV-parks are installed on large land areas, leading to loss of land for cultivating crops. The ideal solution is provided by combined agro-voltaic systems with dual land use for crop production and simultaneous power production. HyPErFarm joins multiple types of actors with the objective to optimize viable agrivoltaic business models as well as test the marketability of the products, via inclusion of new innovative PV technologies (PV H2-production, bifacial PV-panels), radically new crop production systems, stakeholder innovation workshops, and citizen-consumer acceptance, public perception analysis and farmer adoption studies. HyPErFarm also develops and demonstrates new ways of utilizing and distributing the energy produced on-farm via heat pumps, e-robots, hydrogen production, storage and use, and e-driven pyrolysis of biomass side-streams that captures carbon while also improving soil quality. The project’s impact is that agrivoltaic systems are moved upwards to TRL7-8, and attractive new business models are accessible for farmers. HyPErFarm thus supports a game-changing radical innovation and contributes to the building of a low fossil-carbon, climate-resilient future EU farming that can also supply local communities with power and hydrogen. HyPErFarm partners have the ability to adopt and further develop the new farming practices, to provide the new technologies required, and to adopt new APV-business models that will allow continued food production on land used for power production.
