Abstract

The goals are new products from renewable sources related to the Circular Economy employed environmentally friendly technologies addressing individual elements of EGD concerning current social and environmental issues. The effective utilization of waste originated in agriculture, animal production or forestry, various discarded constructions, electrical facilities and plastic materials to obtain biostimulants from green hydrolyzate from animal wastes, agriculture reclamation of dumps by mixed biochar with biostimulants for fast-growing trees, new biopesticides for chemical pesticides replacement; catalysts for synthesis of petrochemicals from ethanol based on lignocellulosic materials, oil products from the complete recycling of plastics, green energy by reuse of discarded solar panels.

Abstract

The project “New solutions for reducing energy consumption and emissions in biorefining processes and agriculture” focuses on the efficient use of waste, with some of the waste coming from agriculture, animal production, and forestry. In addition to “bio” waste, waste from various discarded buildings, electrical equipment, and plastics will also be processed in accordance with the principles of a circular economy using environmentally friendly technologies, with a focus on reducing energy consumption and emissions. The goal is to create new products from renewable sources related to the Circular Economy strategy that address current social and environmental issues (landscape revitalization, replacement of petroleum products with completely recycled plastics, chemical pesticides, biopesticides, green energy, etc.).
