New Sales Markets for Fermentation Products Through Agglomeration With Secondary Materials; Sub-Project 2: An Economic Analysis
The overall objective of the joint project is to create alternative marketing channels for the regional marketing of upgraded fermentation products from agricultural biogas plants in the non-agricultural sector. The project is based on three fields of activity:
(1) Technology: Use of the built-up agglomeration as a process technology for the novel processing of fermentation products to fertilizer agglomerates for use in hobby and commercial horticulture as well as in horticulture and landscaping
(2) Product: Functionalisation of the fertiliser agglomerates through aggregates, functional core and layer formation to increase added value and adaptation to customer and product requirements
(3) Market: Assessment of the economic viability of a regional biogas plant network as a model
The aim of the economic analysis is to evaluate the economic viability of the production of fertilizer agglomerates from fermentation products under different framework conditions. Based on a market potential analysis, the resulting product requirements and a business, investment and financing plan, an action strategy will be developed. It provides the framework for the implementation of the project.
