REFERTIL in Brief

 

Project Title: Reducing mineral fertilisers and chemicals use in agriculture by recycling treated organic waste as compost and bio-char products.  (REFERTIL). Contract number: 289785


Coordinator: Terra Humana Ltd./ Edward Someus

Project partners >>

Programme: European Union Seventh Framework Programme (2007-2013),  FP7-KBBE-2011.1.2-02


Objective:  EU legislation support by definition of improved compost and biochar standards in the EU27. Improvement of common compost quality standards and development of new biochar quality standards for the EU 27 by 2013 for European Union Commission regulation law harmonization support. The aim of the REFERTIL project is about improved compost standardization and new standard development for biochar in the EU27, for safer, better, less costly and more environmental friendly utilization of the EU27 generated 150 M t/y plant/animal biomass waste streams.

Project Duration: 48 months, Starting date: October 1, 2011.


Call for compost technology survey

EU wide evaluating contest of the available composting technologies and compost products.

To the owners/operators of the composting plants.

On behalf of the European Commission contracted FP7 REFERTIL Consortium we, the Compost Group of REFERTIL, would like to invite you and your composting plant into a very detailed evaluating challenge where the selected composting technologies/plants will be analyzed from the considerations of the environment, technology, legislation and cost-effectiveness.

Biochar technologies searched for European Union contest

International call for biochar technology and product quality contest
Submission date of Letter of Intent: open in 2012

On behalf of the European Commission contracted FP7 REFERTIL Consortium we are searching for available commercial, industrial or pilot scale tested recycling technologies suitable for  biochar production and use in open ecological soil environment. In this context, we would like to clearly identify market available biochar vendor(s) and the biochar technology owner(s). Laboratory  scale, research units or home made biochar solutions will not be selected for evaluation.

In this advanced biochar technology contest, the first two best biochar production technologies will be selected for detailed environmental and efficiency assessment and evaluation in the EUFP7 REFERTIL project framework.

 

Stakeholder invitation

Invitation to join to the Stakeholder’s Group for the EU FP7 Project titled:

“Improvement of comprehensive bio-waste transformation and nutrient recovery treatment processes for production of combined natural products (REFERTIL)”
(KBBE-2011-5 289785)

On behalf of the EU FP7 REFERTIL Consortium I would like to invite you for active participation to the Stakeholder platform voluntary works, that directly interconnection you to an European Commission initiated compost/biochar standardization programme.
