Valorgas Project: Valorisation of Food Waste to Biogas Project Number: Grant 241334 Call (part) identifier: FP7-ENERGY-2009-1 Funding scheme: Collaborative project Duration 1 March 2010 - 31 August 2013 Coordinator: Dr Sonia Heaven, University of Southampton Total budget: € 4.65 million EU contribution: € 3.49 million Partners: 12 European + 1 Indian Deliverables : 31 International Workshop on Promotion of Biogas Upgrading and Bottling in India and EU August 22 - 24, 2013, IIT Delhi

Partners of Valorgas project International Workshop on Promotion of Biogas Upgrading and Bottling in India and EU August 22 - 24, 2013, IIT Delhi

Scope of Valorgas project Food waste accounts for 20% of the domestic waste stream in the EU Total food waste available in EU : 200 million t/yr, If food wastes from agro- and food industries are included Valorisation of food waste through anaerobic digestion process - considered the best environmental sustainable technology High organic content (30%), high water content and. methane yields of 400-450 m3 kg-1 ODM. Food waste constitutes around 20% of the domestic waste stream in the EU, with approximately equal quantities arising from food manufacture and catering outlets: if food wastes from agro- and food industries are included an estimated total of 200 Mtonnes/year is available, at around 30% organic dry matter (ODM). Because of the high water content of this material, energy can only effectively be gained through biochemical conversion. The approach best suited to this is anaerobic digestion where yields of 400-450 m3 methane per kg ODM can be achieved. The research explores the ways in which this energy potential can be realised through effective collection, pre-processing and optimisation of the fuel conversion technology, and considers how integration of these aspects with improving conversion efficiencies can maximise the net energy gains. Mainuplation of reactor conditions in order to achieve stable operating conditions at high loading rates and volumetric efficiencies. It considers methods of upgrading the gaseous fuel product to extend the range of end user applications and the scales at which this technology can be exploited. It takes into account issues of biosecurity when using this material, and quantifies the environmental benefits associated with nutrient recycling which contribute significantly to indirect energy gains. The research combines techniques of waste audit, feasibility study, laboratory scientific investigation, technical-scale trials, plant monitoring, process modelling, life cycle assessment and energy footprinting in order to deliver recommendations for the valorisation with maximum benefit of this energy source as a second-generation biofuel.

To explore the energy potential in foodwaste through effective collection, pre-processing and optimisation of the fuel conversion technology How integration of these aspects with improvements to conversion efficiencies can maximise the net energy gains.

Objectives of Valorgas project To evaluate the efficiency and yield of source segregated food waste collection schemes from domestic properties, restaurant and catering facilities, food markets and food manufacture. To determine the energy and carbon footprint of the biowaste-to-energy process including collection, transport, treatment and final product use. To optimise pre-treatment of the source segregated waste stream for biogas production and biosecurity of the residual product To develop low-cost small-scale biogas upgrading technologies and storage systems for application in transportation and local low-pressure distribution systems. To estimate the potential for small-scale biogas upgrading in local transportation in the EU and in India. To evaluate the potential for food waste digestion as a second generation biofuel source across the EU in terms of energy yield, environmental benefit and end user requirements VALORGAS project explores the ways in which this energy potential can be realised through Effective collection, pre-processing and optimisation of the fuel conversion technology, How integration of these aspects with improvements to conversion efficiencies can maximise the net energy gains. To evaluate the efficiency and yield of source segregated food waste collection schemes from domestic properties, restaurant and catering facilities, food markets and food manufacture. To determine the energy and carbon footprint of the biowaste-to-energy process including collection, transport, treatment and final product use, considering both direct and indirect inputs. This provides the basis for a full life cycle assessment of the environmental impacts and benefits of this technology. To optimise pre-treatment of the source segregated waste stream for biogas production and biosecurity of the residual product by development and trialling of novel cell disruption and autoclaving techniques. To balance the digestion process using interventions to improve the carbon to nitrogen ratio for optimal volumetric biogas productivity and added value of the digestate product. To gain a deeper understanding of the interaction of fundamental chemical and microbiological factors affecting the potential for energy gain from the substrate, and to convert this into practical operational protocols for stable and effective digestion of high-nitrogen wastes at loading rates that allow maximum volumetric biogas production. To achieve a mass and energy balance around two full-scale digesters treating food waste, one at mesophilic and one at thermophilic temperature, which will act as a benchmark for industry in the drive for widespread implementation of the process at commercial scale. To further develop low-cost small-scale biogas upgrading technologies and storage systems for application in transportation and local low-pressure distribution systems. To estimate the potential for small-scale biogas upgrading in local transportation in the EU and in India. To evaluate the appropriateness of scale of digestion and end-use energy conversion technologies, with particular reference to matching public and private community needs. To evaluate the potential for food waste digestion as a second generation biofuel source across the EU in terms of energy yield, environmental benefit and end user requirements International Workshop on Promotion of Biogas Upgrading and Bottling in India and EU August 22 - 24, 2013, IIT Delhi

Work Packages WP5: Partners Biogas upgrading IIT Delhi Metener ltd (Finland) University of Jyväskylä Food waste makes up around 20% of the domestic waste stream in the EU, with approximately equal quantities arising from food manufacture and catering outlets: if food wastes from agro- and food industries are included an estimated total of 200 Mtonnes year-1 is available, with an organic dry matter (ODM) content of around 30%. Because of the high water content of this material, the only effective way to gain energy from it is through biochemical conversion. The approach best suited to this is anaerobic digestion which can achieve methane yields of 400-450 m3 kg-1 ODM.  The VALORGAS project explores the ways in which this energy potential can be realised through effective collection, pre-processing and optimisation of the fuel conversion technology, and considers how integration of these aspects with improvements to conversion efficiencies can maximise the net energy gains. The work expands our rapidly-developing fundamental knowledge of syntrophic anaerobic microbial interactions, and applies this to the manipulation of reactor conditions in order to achieve stable operating conditions at high loading rates and volumetric efficiencies. It considers methods of upgrading the gaseous fuel product to give an extended range of end user applications and of scales at which this technology can be exploited. The research takes into account issues of biosecurity when using this material, and quantifies the environmental benefits associated with nutrient recycling which can contribute significantly to indirect energy gains. The project combines techniques of waste audit, feasibility study, laboratory scientific investigation, technical-scale trials, plant monitoring, process modelling, life cycle assessment and energy footprinting in order to deliver recommendations for the valorisation with maximum benefit of this energy source as a second-generation biofuel.
