Objectives

AGROinLOG aims to implement and demonstrate the technical, environmental and economic feasibility of Integrated Biomass Logistics Centers (IBLCs) for food and non-food products into existing agro-industries.

An IBLC takes advantage of the facilities of an agro-industry, its network of contacts and its waste or non-used local resources to create new activities and obtain new bio products such as biomass, biofuels or raw materials for other sectors

Objectives

AGROinLOG pretende implementar y demostrar la viabilidad técnica, medioambiental y econόmica de los Centros Logísticos de Biomasa Integrados (IBLCs) para la obtenciόn de productos alimenticios y no alimenticios en las agroindustrias. Un IBLC aprovecha las instalaciones de una agroindustria, su red de contactos y sus residuos o recursos no explotados para diversificar su actividad regular y obtener nuevos bio-productos tales como biomasa, bio-combustibles líquidos o materias primas para otros sectores.

Activities

An IBLC integrated into an agro-industry refers to the start of a new biomass activity, integrating a new non-food value chain into the existing food chain. The new activity involves field harvesting, collection and procurement of the biomass resources towards the agro-industry, the use of residues, and their transformation into bio-commodities and intermediate bio-products for new markets. AGROinLOG will test the IBLC concept in 3 agro-industries (Fodder, olive oil and cereal) sectors that are willing to deploy new business lines in their facilities to open new markets in bio-commodities (energy, transport and manufacturing) and intermediate bio-products (transport and biochemicals).

Activities

Un IBLC integrado en una agroindustria persigue la puesta en marcha de una nueva actividad en relaciόn a la biomasa, integrando una nueva cadena de valorizaciόn no alimentaria en la cadena alimenticia actual. La nueva actividad implica llevar los recursos biomásicos de la recolecciόn en campo a la agroindustria, el uso de los residuos, y su transformaciόn en bio-productos o bio-compuestos intermedios para nuevos mercados. AGROinLOG testará el concepto IBLC en 3 agroindustrias piloto (Industria forrajera, aceite de oliva, cerealista) que desea desarrollar nuevas líneas de negocio en sus instalaciones para abrir nuevos mercados de bio-productos y bio-compuestos intermedios.

Additional information

Τhese pilots will develop new logistics chains and will adapt the

existing equipment to the new production. AGROinLOG will evaluate the technical, financial and environmental feasibility of their new activity and the final quality of the new products. Afterwards, the replication potential of AGROinLOG business model will be studied in other 7 agro-industries of different sectors. The project will prepare and evaluate the business models for the new IBLCs deployment
