SLCA methodology applied to bio-based fertilizers from fisheries/aquaculture waste in the scope of the Sea2Land Project

The basis of the project is the regional production of Bio-Bases Fertilisers (BBFs) by developing demonstration pilots that can be replicated across Europe, boosting local growth. The project proposes the implementation of 9 technologies in 7 cases in 6 representative areas of the fisheries sector (North, Baltic, Atlantic, Cantabrian, Mediterranean, Adriatic Sea). The technologies will be applied to different by-products, and they will produce several BBFs either for local crops and conditions, and others for exporting. Besides, the effects on soil biodiversity, environmental sustainability and the impact on social parameters and local economy will be studied and business plans will be defined. Finally BBFs from by-products will serve to partially replace imported nutrients for agriculture in Europe, contributing to reduce the negative environmental effects of the misuse of byproducts.
