1 Funding Opportunities for Nutrient Recycling Mikko Rahtola agronomist, project coordinator Government Key Project Making Use of Nutrients Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke) 1

2 Making use of agricultural nutrients The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has financed a 3 year project Making Use of Agricultural Nutrients to be carried out by Natural Resource Institute Finland (Luke). One of the government key projects The aim of the project is to secure that 50 % of the nutrients in manure and sewage sludge are in effective use in sensitive areas by 2025.

4 GOVERNMENT KEY PROJECT Employment and competence 170 milj. Knowledge and Education 300 milj. Wellfare and Health 130 milj. Bioeconomy and Clean Solutions 300 milj. Digitalisation, Experiments and deregulation 100 milj. Carbon free, clean and renewable energy Get wood moving, new products from the forests Breakthrough of circular economy and clean solutions Finnish food production to be profitable, trade balance and blue economy up Nature conservation policy with trust and fair means

5 GOVERNMENT KEY PROJECT Bioeconomy and clean solutions Key project 3. Breakthrough of circular economy, getting waters into good condition, tot 34 milj 2016: tot 12 milj, 2017: tot 11 milj,2018: tot 11 milj Experimental programme tot 12,4 milj Making use of Agricultural nutrients Nutrient recycling programme Sewage pilots Horse manure programme Programme for the management of Water Resources and the Marine Environment

6 OTHER FINANCING INSTRUMENTS Rural Development Funds Environmental programm about 1,6 bilj. /7 v Controlling nutrient leakage, protection zones, winter-cover, catch-crops, better use of manure, circulation of nutrients and organic matter Water System Protection Special Financing Tekes Blue Bioeconomy Private Investors, i.e. Finnish Business Angels Network Horizon2020 largest research funding instrument in EU EIP, European Innnovation Programm Foundations Katso myös: Sivu 6

7 Statistics + Map service: Biomass atlas

8 TECHNOLOGIES WE ARE LOOKING FOR Separation techniques Sorting and combining of sideproduct flows Process improvements Minimizing harmfull substances Affecting to the biodegradabality of materials Optimizing processes by the help of chemistry and microbiology Agronomical solutions Utilisation of digital possibilities New type of Co-operations Symbiotic systems Contract models Sivu 8

9 WHAT CAN WE ACHIEVE? Less environmental problems and leakage of nutrients (N,P,S) More commercial organic fertilizers NB, swedish list of organic fertilizers From waste to added value Waste-> sideproducts-> energy-> feed-> food-> medicin-> etc Service models, innovations, knowledge Networks, local ecosystems Export possibilities Base for nature turism development Sivu 9

10 BIG ISSUES: ENERGY, FOOD SECURITY, JOBS AND SOIL CARBON In Finland energy self sufficiency is now only 30 %!! With the help of renewables it can be rised up to % + recycled nutrients Yearly only 4 increase to soil carbon will be enough to prohibit climate change Wood pulp, biochar etc new jobs prospected by 2025 with bioeconomy Sivu 10

11 Bioenergy and nutrients are linked Map of bioenergy production plants in Finland Every unit produce also sideproducts = nutrients

12 TWO DIFFERENT LEVELS Agroecological symbiosis- Agrohubs Industrial symbiosis
