Scotland Can Deliver

4. Feedstock Mapping Model A Starting Point
Project Aims
Identify key data sources on arisings of materials streams valuable to the bio-refining industry
Assess the quality of these data sources and review
Map quantified material arisings regionally
Use known fate to generate figures of available bio-resources

5. Material Arisings
Four material streams / groupings created and analysed
Using existing data sets
Waste
(SEPA statistics)
Municipal solid waste, commercial & industrial waste
Food & Drink by-products
- Municipal solid waste, commercial & industrial Waste
Agricultural residues
(Whisky, beer & fish sector study, Scottish Agricultural College, 5th quarter blood report,)
Whisky by-products (draff, pot ale, lees & washings), brewing
Dairy whey, fish and shellfish, slaughterhouses
Waste water sludges
(Scottish Water)

6. Total Materials Arising - 27Mt

7. By-Products Arising by LA and Source

8. Shortlist Chemicals of Interest Bio-Resource Content (%w/w)
Protein
Fat
Carbohydrate
Carbon
Nitrogen
Hydrogen
Sulfur
Iron
Dietary Fibre
Magnesium
Calcium
Zinc
Phosphorus
Potassium
Sodium
Copper
Manganese
Selenium

9. Bio-Resource Arising? Potential Arising of any given Bio-resource by:
Local Authority location
Year
Material
Sub-fraction
Fate

10. Protein Arising - Heat Map But what about bio-resource availability?

11. Bio-Resource Availability?
Accessibility constraints - Current fate of feedstock
- Economics related with disposal to this fate
- Haulage costs to identified location
Bio-resource only available
Bio-refinery presents more economically viable route for feedstock

12. Next Steps Assess information available and act on recommendations
Agree model hosting and management of enquiries
Further model development
Collation and addition of further waste/by-product data sets
(bakery waste, forestry, algae and CO2)
Addition of further bio-resource types
- Development of a more user friendly tool
- Development of forecasting capabilities
