Leistungen

Documents, reports (7)

Intermediate report on the exploitation and IPR plan

This deliverable will be an updated version of D7.4 and will contain a preliminary Result Ownership List. This deliverable is linked to T7.2.

Exploitation and IPR plan

This deliverable will report the list of Key Exploitable Results (KERs) through the project. For each KER, potential exploitation routes, associated risks and IP strategy will be defined, along with the responsible partners and their resources to achieve the exploitation objectives. This deliverable is linked to T7.2.

Intermediate report on the dissemination and communication strategy

This deliverable will review the strategy established at the beginning of the project and go through the KPIs established, to check on their degree of compliance and see if there is any need to adapt the strategy. It will include a summary of the activities performed during the period. This deliverable is linked to T7.1.

Description of scientific methods

Open source method for generating dynamic background systems for prospective LCA. The method includes both routines, datasets, and code available open access in the project repository and algorithms documented in guideline documents. Linked to T1.1. Open-source method for identification of market constraints: geographical, production capacity, co-production, and policy. The method includes both routines, datasets, and code available open access in project repository and algorithms documented in guideline documents. Linked to T1.2. Open-source method for time and space-dependent carbon accounting in bio-based carbon uptake and release activities (forest plantation, crops, composting, biogas, etc.), able to return mass balanced carbon inventories. Model code and documentation available open access on project repository. Linked to T1.2. Characterization factors for climate change and biodiversity impacts, formatted for import in major LCA software, and available open access on project repository. Linked to T1.3. Guidelines, tutorials and code for uncertainty and sensitivity analysis in bio-based sectors, available open access on project repository. Lnked to T1.4. Open-source method for socio-economic assessment in bio-based sectors. Model code, calculators, and documentation available open access on project repository. Linked to T1.5.

Summary on case study data and collection of sector data

This deliverable is placed under T1.6 and will document the outcome of activities from T2.1, T3.1, T4.1, T5.1, T6.1 about the preparation of case studies as well as the outcome of activities from T2.2, T3.2, T4.2, T5.2, T6.2 Collect sector data.

Dissemination and Communication strategy

This deliverable will describe a primary Communication and Dissemination plan that will contain the main strategy for the project lifetime, as well as the expected activities to be carried out throughout the project. It will be updated on M18 and 36 to include the actions developed during those periods. This deliverable is linked to T7.1.

Intermediate version of the Policy Brief

This deliverable will follow the EC policy brief template summarizing insights and learnings on modelling framework to assess and optimise the environmental and socio-economic performance of five bio-based sectors: construction, woodworking, textile, pulp and paper, and bio-chemicals for policy-makers. This is an intermediate version and It is linked to T1.6.

Data Management Plan (2)

Data management plan version 1

The Data Management Plan will detail what data the project will generate, whether and how it will be exploited or made accessible for verification and re-use and how the data will be curated and preserved. This deliverable is linked to T8.5.

Data management plan version 2

The DMP will be updated by the end of the first reporting period. This deliverable is linked to T8.5.
