BeonNAT project

𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐍𝐀𝐓!🌱 We’re excited to share that our latest deliverable, D8.7, for the BeonNATproject was submitted this September, focusing on an Intermediate Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) of BeonNAT'sinnovative products. This assessment took a deep dive into the environmental, economic, and social impacts of pilot-scale products, with a special focus on critical issues like Land Use Change (LUC).🌍 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭?🔍 A total of 26 unique productswere evaluated, derived from six species including Betula pendulain Romania, Ulmuspumilaand Cistus ladaniferin Spain, Cytisusscopariusin Germany, Juniperus communis, and Rosmarinus officinalisin Spain. Among these, we analyzed diverse products such as vegetal extracts, essential oils, lactic acid, biochar, activated carbon, pet absorbents, particle boards, and tissue paper. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 📊 •Environmental Impact: Climate change, fossil resource use, and land use emerged as the most relevant impact categories across products. •Economic Drivers: Equipment and labor were primary cost contributors. •Social Impact: Health and safety stood out as a critical factor. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭?🚀 Looking forward, we’re gearing up for a comprehensive life cycle analysis of these BeonNATproducts to assess their impact across their entire lifecycle. Stay tuned for more insights on how BeonNATis driving sustainable innovation!📢

📢 New post on our website! 🟢On this occasion, we bring you the key highlights from the study 𝒀𝒊𝒆𝒍𝒅, 𝑪𝒉𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑩𝒊𝒐𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝑬𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑶𝒊𝒍𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒐𝒏 𝑱𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒑𝒆𝒓 (𝑱𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒖𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒔 𝑳.) 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑫𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑺𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝑶𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒔, published within the framework of #BeonNAT  🌱 This research in Northern Spain has identified Juniper oils with high limonene content and potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. This innovative approach could revolutionize Juniper farming and essential oil production, offering natural health benefits and supporting environmental sustainability.  Learn more 👇

Find all about 𝑪𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒔 𝒍𝒂𝒅𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒇𝒆𝒓! 🌿 As part of our 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐬, we tell you about the mediterranean rockrose🌸. Cistus ladanifer is a hardy, colonizing species that thrives in dry conditions and adapts to various soil types, particularly acidic ones. As a pioneer plant, it excels in colonizing degraded soils, especially after fires, and survives in low fertility and extreme environments. Read more 👇

Discover how the CBE JU-funded BeonNAT project uses marginal lands in #Europe to produce sustainable #biobased products. The project aims to develop high-value #sustainable products while protecting #biodiversity, improving soil fertility, and increasing organic carbon stocks. With its work, the initiative is having a positive impact both on the environment and on the local population by: 🌳 Boosting EU’s bio-based economy 👩🌾 Creating new jobs in rural areas 🧍 Reducing depopulation Watch the video to learn more 👉 https://lnkd.in/dw7rSseg

▶ Where is #BeonNAT at? In the second video of our "Inside BeonNAT" series, we tell you about te last phase we are in. With the knowledge we have acquired regarding the production of different bio-products, we are going to make an optimisation in order to be able to define biorefineries that with a sufficient cultivation area can provide us with this type of bio-products and generate an associated industry. 📶 Watch Luis Saúl Esteban, Marina Sanz Gallego and Siro Soria Franco from CIEMAT tell you about this 👇 https://lnkd.in/dHMEfEpB
