About the project
FertiCovery tackles the challenge of limited awareness and adoption of sustainable bio-based fertiliser solutions by equipping stakeholders with the best available technologies and practices across Europe for recycling fertilisers from secondary raw materials.
About the
FertiCovery Project
By fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing among researchers, industry leaders, farmers, and policymakers, the project removes barriers and creates pathways for the widespread use of environmentally friendly fertilisers.
Objectives and activities
FertiCovery is supporting farmers, bio-based fertiliser producers and policymakers to remove barriers and promote nutrient recovery and the application of bio-based fertilisers, from secondary raw materials such as biowaste, manure, and wastewater.
FertiCovery is creating longlist of 75 case studies highlighting existing installations that transform secondary raw materials into alternative fertilising products across Europe and globally (at least TRL7).
The project will provide a comprehensive analysis of 25 nutrient recovery and bio-based fertiliser technologies, detailing their feedstocks, value chains, products, and applications. This will include an in-depth evaluation of technical performance and the environmental impacts of these technologies.
FertiCovery will develop a multicriteria decision analysis report and datasheets showcasing the 10-15 most effective technologies.
Active engagement with European and international stakeholders is implemented through 5 workshops and 6 open forum events, fostering collaboration across the entire supply chain.
