Sustainable renewable energy VALUE chains for answering FARMers’ needs (VALUE4FARM)

为了使农业部门符合欧盟绿色协议的要求，在当地采用符合当地农民在电力、供热、机动性、废物和土地管理方面需求的可再生能源技术是关键。在这方面，VALUE4FARM项目将召集14个合作伙伴(包括7个面向研究的合作伙伴、3个中小企业和3个协会)参加为期42个月的项目，在TRL6-7会议上展示以沼气为基础的三条可再生地方价值链的有效性、可持续性和可复制性，并将可持续粮食生产与可再生能源生产相结合。在丹麦，将引入传统生物甲烷途径的附加组件，以满足大型农场的当地特殊性。在比利时，将展示一条更好地利用现有余流的途径，以有效地生产电力/热量和燃料，从而满足小规模农场的流动需求。在意大利，将对杂交兼容性进行调查，以创建高效的离网生物甲烷工厂。将根据至少200名农民的规格制定可持续的农业作物协议，以应对农业部门的挑战，同时匹配可再生能源的生产。所有价值链都将通过养分回收促进循环。农民从项目一开始就大力参与，将促进对已证明的价值链的吸收。该项目已经选择了冰岛、意大利和波兰的三个复制地点。对VALUE4FARM价值链的经济、环境和社会效益的评估将广泛分享并传播给相关利益攸关方。特别是，为了鼓励欧洲更广泛的农业社区从他们的土地上生产粮食和能源并展示在示范点学到的经验教训中受益，将以开放获取的方式提供一个在线决策支持工具

In order to defossilise the agricultural sector in line with the EU Green Deal, the local incorporation of renewable energy technologies matching local farmers’ needs in terms of electricity, heat, mobility, waste and land management is key. In this context, the VALUE4FARM project will gather 14 partners (including 7 research-oriented partners, 3 SMEs and 3 associations) in a 42-month project to demonstrate at TRL6-7 the effectiveness, sustainability and replicability of three renewable-based local value chains based on biogas, and coupling sustainable food and renewable-energy production. In Denmark, add-ons to the traditional biomethane pathway will be brought for answering the local specificities of large-scale farms. In Belgium, a pathway towards better use of already-existing residual streams will be demonstrated for efficient production of electricity/heat and fuel, thus answering mobility needs for small-scale farms. In Italy, hybridisation compatibilities will be investigated towards the creation of an efficient off-grid biomethane plant. Sustainable agricultural crop protocols will be developed, based on at least 200 farmers’ specifications, meeting the challenges of the agricultural sector, while matching renewable energy production. All value chains will promote circularity through nutrient recovery. The uptake of the demonstrated value chains will be facilitated by a strong involvement of farmers from the very beginning of the project. Three replication sites in Iceland, Italy and Poland have already been selected in the project. The assessment of the economic, environmental and social benefits of the VALUE4FARM value chains will be widely shared and disseminated to relevant stakeholders. In particular, to encourage the wider farming community across Europe to benefit from producing both food and energy from their land and showcasing the lessons learnt in the demonstration sites, an online decision support tool will be made available in open-access
