Deliverables

Data Management Plan (1)

Data Management Plan

This plan will contain all rules with regard to the management of data and will comply with the FAIR principles.

Documents, reports (8)

Protocol of good practices for handling already existing residual crop streams and usage of digestate

Protocol for processing abundant residual biomass and good practices for nutrient recovery.

Report on demonstrations’ specifications

Information on land and soil of the demonstration sites, technical requirements and specifications for the renewable energy technologies set-up, for smooth demonstrations.

Crop protocol for the Mediterranean region

Selected appropriate crops for the Italian demonstration, and good practices for the anaerobic digestion.

Plan for dissemination and exploitation including communication activities

This plan defines the dissemination, exploitation, and communication goals and tools, the target audience, the main messages to be conveyed and the strategy to overcome the barriers that could negatively affect them.

Report on regulation framework analysis

Literature review to obtain an overview of the policy framework in the EU and policy instrument types.

Crop protocol for the Atlantic region

Selected appropriate crops for the Danish demonstration.

Modelling study to optimise the design and management of agrivoltaic systems

The study will investigate for farms in Italy and Denmark: 1) how to produce the electricity needed to off-grid the production of biomethane; 2) how to expand agrivoltaism to medium-large scale (20 ha and up) for enlarging the renewable energy potential at farm level and feed electricity into the grid.

Report on farmers’ needs and decision support tool framework

Mapping of farmers’ needs in terms of crop, energy demand etc., and general guidelines for the development of the decision-support tool.
