Project description
Waste not, want not: decentralised valorisation of biowaste
Organic waste is a sustainable natural source of chemicals that can be used to make other products. However, typically the breakdown products from the anaerobic digestion of biomass by bacteria that is used in centralised waste management are landfilled and their potential unexploited. The Finnish SME FimusKraft has developed the FimusKraft Biogas Plant (FKBP) that converts biowaste into highly energetic biogas, high-quality bio-fertilisers and valuable raw materials. The FKBP can be used on site in a decentralised way to valorise biomass from farming, fisheries, food and beverage industries, restaurants, households and more. The EIC-funded FKBP project will help the team scale up its innovation with important impact on the European Green Deal goals.
Objective
Anaerobic digestion (AD) for the treatment of organic wastes has been hailed as a green and sustainable technology. However, AD adoption is still hindered by various limitations. E.g. AD plants are applied for centralised waste management with production of pathogenic and low quality digestates, usually landfilled, leading to no waste valorisation. AD plants produce biogas of low yield and energetic potential. In addition, they are significant capital investments with a long payback. To solve these pains, FimusKraft have developed the FKBP, a system which elegantly combines (a) bio-gas fermentation with an (b) innovative biowaste enzymatic pre-handling process and (c) microturbine with gas analysis and control system. The FKBP is compact and modular and able to simultaneously treat various types of biowaste to produce electricity, heat and high quality ecological organic fertilizer. The FKBP is the first biogas plant able to produce higher energetic biogas (up to 97% CH4/H2 mix).

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
