@FbwUGent @VITObelgium @ugent @Erik_Meers @KrisAudenaert The PhD student doing the research is Lukas Audenaert not Kris Audenaert 😅 At least they are related 😁

We’re at @DTUtweet in Denmark for our 4th General Assembly! 17 partners are here to review progress on biomethane research, discuss case studies, align strategies, and plan next steps. 📸 Check out some snapshots of our work! #Biomethane #Innovation #Sustainability

Don’t miss out the upcoming @SEMPRE_BIO webinar during which our postdocs @cellafsouza and Çağrı Akyol will give presentations 👀

@airliquidegroup presenting the sustainability charter ♻️ and criteria on biogas they developed together with 🐼 @WWFEU @WWFFrance, in which we gave our humble contribution in the scientific 👨‍🔬backgrounds at the @European_Biogas biogas conference in Brussels. @RESourceLab_UG

Is one #duckweed species more suited than the other to grow on pig #manure? 🤔 That is what we are assessing in a series of tolerance tests! Spoiler alert: yes, it seems some species are better for this application 🤩 We hope to publish these results soon, so follow us for more

🌍🍽️On #WorldFoodDay , FOLOU emphasizes the urgent need to reduce #foodloss at the primary production stage to protect the environment and enhance food security. The FOLOU partners are dedicated to building more sustainable food systems. Learn more 👉 folou.eu

Happy #WorldAlgaeDay! To celebrate these amazing organisms, we would like to share our new addition dedicated to our algae research: a laminar flow hood 🤩 It is already being used for our experiments on recycled nutrients to increase the sustainability of algae cultivation💪

🥁 Big announcement! Join our Nov 6 webinar at 4 PM on the progress of SEMPRE-BIO. Discover case studies on wastewater, green waste, and manure transformation into energy and CO2 valorization. 🌱Stay tuned for details. #SEMPREBIO #RenewableEnergy #GreenEnergy

Hosted by @BETA_TechCenter, @NutriBudget_ had its annual project meeting last week to discuss progress and closer collaboration, as part of their ambition to develop an integrated #nutrientmanagement platform 💪 More information: nutribudget.eu

Our PhD student, Marie Lambert, gave an oral presentation at the #RETASTE conference on introducing #duckweed as a novel crop in Flandres! One of our current challenges is the preservation of duckweed, as it contains a lot of moisture. One promising solution? Ensiling💡

We are evaluating novel bio-based #fertilizers in the #Renu2cycle project The performance of mineral concentrate + ammonium sulfate, pig urine, and the liquid fraction of pig slurry is being compared to conventional mineral fertilizers in pot trials🤩 renu2cycle.nweurope.eu

Last week #WalNUT_eu held a parallel session called 'Turning Waste water into Resources: Cutting-Edge Technologies for Sustainable Nutrient Recovery“' at ESNI 2024 in Brussels The focus was on #nutrientrecovery technologies that are being developed within the project.

Last week our partners from @ResearchUGent presented a poster at the #ESNIConference2024, organized by @Bioref_Cluster in Brussels. 📜"Nutrient availability and greenhouse gas emissions from #biobasedfertilizers under controlled conditions". 👇More info👇 sea2landproject.eu/sea2land-prese…

🌟Day 2 of #ESNI2024 kicked off with Dr. Evi Michels (@ugent ) setting the stage. Mauro Cordella (DG ENV) spoke on "Environmental Footprint Methods," sparking engaging Q&A. @LudwigHermann followed with insights on reconciling the Green Deal & economic systems. Stay tuned!🚀

The 5th edition of #ESNI has been opened by our own Prof @Erik_Meers 🤩 For the next 1.5 days, we will be discussing the future of #nutrient recycling with policymakers and European projects 💪 biorefine.eu/nutrient-recyc… @Bioref_Cluster @BETA_TechCenter

Can our phosphorous-rich bio-based #fertilizers from the #digestates of tomato waste and cow #manure substitute commercial P fertilizers?🤔 We are testing this in a pot trial with beans! Curious about the results? Stay tuned for updates @Erik_Meers @FbwUGent @Bioref_Cluster

Our hosts for the #ESNI2024 Conference on 18 & 19 Sept in Brussels are @Laia_Llenas and @Erik_Meers. They will guide the 100+ participants through 4 key notes, 9 parallel sessions, 4 pitches, a poster session and networking. You can still join us via biorefine.eu/esni-2024/

📢Don't miss the second plenary session at #ESNI2024 on Sept 18! 🎯Topic: "#Biogas as Key Technology in #NutrientRecuperation" 🗣️Keynote speaker: Laure Baillargeon, Policy Officer at the @EU_Commission ➡️Register: biorefine.eu/esni-2024/

📢#ESNI2024 3rd Plenary Session on Sept 19: 🌍"#EnvironmentalFootprint methods: overview, applications & outlook" 🎙️Keynote speaker: Mauro Cordella, Policy Officer at DG ENV, @EU_Commission Gain insights into #sustainability initiatives across Europe 👉biorefine.eu/esni-2024/

📢New paper out! This research investigated the hydrothermal carbonization of digestates derived from the anaerobic mono- and co-digestion of pig manure and ensiled maize. The treatment reduced potential environmental impacts of these products 🤩 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
