🌱 Las normativas europeas de gestión de nutrientes, aunque efectivas en la protección de los recursos hídricos, a menudo no reflejan plenamente las necesidades de cada región. Esto pone de relieve un desafío importante: mejorar la comunicación entre los actores del sector y los responsables políticos. 💡 La tecnología ya está disponible y la innovación avanza a buen ritmo, pero es necesario un marco regulatorio más flexible. Estos fueron los principales mensaje que lanzaron diferentes expertos del sector en el evento organizado por el proyecto NenuPhar_EU, coordinado por CIRCE, en el #ESNI2024. ⏩ ¡Los próximos pasos para enfrentar estos retos ya están en marcha! Llevaremos a cabo talleres donde profesionales y responsables políticos trabajarán juntos en la búsqueda de nuevas formas de aprovechar estos recursos. 📍Los talleres se realizarán en las cuencas del Ebro, el Danubio y el Lielupe, así como en los replicadores en Chipre y Bornholm (Dinamarca). Si estás interesado en participar en estos talleres o quieres conocer más sobre los resultados y los próximos pasos, ¡no dudes en ponerte en contacto! 👉 https://lnkd.in/dhMkEZq #innovación #sostenibilidad

This week the NenuPhar_EU project was already back on the road! 🚄 This time, we were in Lleida, Spain, to attend the ESPP European Sustainable Phosphorus Platform's 5th Annual Conference! 🗣️ Represented by Nenuphar project members BETA Technological Center and European Environmental Bureau, it was great to see such a diversity of stakeholders coming together around the common objective of reducing #NutrientPollution, specifically from excessive Phosphorus flows into our ecosystems 💡 Keen to learn more about the technical and government solutions - as well as financial incentives for public and private entities - our project is busy developing, for the benefit of farmers, nature and people's health?

Exciting news! The NENUPHAR project will be present at both the 𝗥𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝘀 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗺 and the 𝟭𝟳𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀, taking place today and tomorrow in Valladolid, Spain 🤝 Our colleague Alejandro Fresneda will present during the session "Uses of Digestate," showcasing how CIRCE - Technology Centre, through projects like NenuPhar_EU, is advancing developments and demonstrations for nutrient recovery in digestates and other organic waste. These efforts aim to deliver innovative and sustainable solutions in nitrate-polluted vulnerable zones, such as the Ebro Basin, where one of our project demo cases is currently in progress! 🗣️ 👉 https://lnkd.in/dbREnRE4 #Sustainability #Bioenergy #RenewableGas #CircularEconomy #Innovation

NenuPhar_EU reunion! 🤝   Last week, we all travelled from across Europe to meet together in Brussels, hosted by our project partner, the European Environmental Bureau! 🍃   We discussed the status of our project, learned more about the progress of demo cases in the #Ebro, #Danube and #Lielupe river basins, explored ways of enhancing and reinforcing our collaboration to maximise the effectiveness and scalable reach of our technical and governance solutions to #NutrientPollution across Europe! 💪     It was great to hear from all project partners, and to meet face to face once again. Until the next time! Bonus: there was sun in Brussels 🌞 (never a guarantee😉)

And that's a wrap! 🎉 Thanks to everyone who attended this year's European Sustainable Nutrients Initiative Conference #ESNI2024! ♻ It was promising to see such a diversity of stakeholders engaging with one another around the common goal of tackling #NutrientPollution! 𝗧𝗢-𝗗𝗢𝘀 So what have we learned? We must: 💧properly implement and enforce existing regulations to protect water! 💧integrate relevant voices, stakeholders and expertise systematically 💧strengthen capacity building (trainings, etc.) and knowledge exchange platforms 💧apply methodologies consistently across models 💧ensure that data and information is easily accessible 💧establish integrated platforms, comparative studies and guidelines 💧be consistent with our messaging and reinforce collective communications!

#ESNI2024 Day 2 is well underway! 🗣⚠🔄 Great to see so many others joining us in Brussels to discuss the solutions to Europe's growing #NutrientPollution crisis. Some takeaways so far today: 𝗖𝗢𝗦𝗧 💶 It's often said that mineral fertilisers are cheaper than bio-based fertilisers (BBFs) but costs can vary depending on the BBF... For instance, ammonia stripping recovered from manure is currently less expensive to produce - and does not include externalities such as: 🔺environmental costs to clean up diffuse pollution 🔺direct and indirect health costs 🔺water shortage due to pollution 🔺biodiversity loss It also shows that the #PolluterPaysPrinciple is not properly implemented, otherwise using mineral fertilisers would cost much more... 𝗚𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗡𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 📄 Legislation and policies for nutrient recovery are lacking. So what are some of the barriers to wider integration and replication of common governance models? We currently have inadequate: ➡ transversal cooperation and the lack of a common language hinders scientific-based policy making ➡ capacity building (trainings, etc.) and knowledge exchange platforms ➡ methodologies applied consistently across models ➡ data and information that is easily accessible ➡ integrated platforms, comparative studies and guidelines Want to be part of the NenuPhar_EU project's growing #CommunityOfInterest?

What a first day it's been at #ESNI2024! Great to meet so many stakeholders sharing the common vision and diverse expertise for meaningfully addressing #NutrientPollution at scale in Europe 🔄💧 With specialist workshops focusing on various waste streams - from sewage sludge to dairy wastewaters - we've shared insights and learnt lots from actors up and down the supply chain. Some key takeaways: ✅ Loads of stakeholders want to #RecycleNutrients! ✅ We have the joint capacity and expertise ✅ Addressing nutrient pollution needs to happen quickly, for nature, health and livelihoods BUT we need: 💶 improved governance & economic tools 🤝 cooperation & integration of all stakeholders ⬆ 🤔better data collection & monitoring 🐄 reduced #IntensiveLivestock numbers See you all tomorrow for day 2! NenuPhar_EU is busy working on a number of the technical and governance solutions to the problem of nutrient pollution. But together, we are more than the sum of our parts.

Only one day left until #ESNI2024!! 📅⏰ The European Sustainable Nutrient Initiative Conference 2024 is a vital and timely event to bring together stakeholders across a number of sectors - policymaking, farming, wastewater management, local government, academic and scientific communities, environmental organisations, and everyone in between - to address a growing environmental, economic and health crisis we face across Europe: #NutrientPollution ⚠ Come pay us a visit and learn some of the advanced technical solutions already being developed to make this problem a thing of the past. We'd love to meet you, hear from you and connect! 🤝 NenuPhar_EU will be leading an engaging workshop exploring "𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴-𝘰𝘯 𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵: 𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘌𝘜 & 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘤 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘦𝘴" to address the governance models that can be scaled at EU level, ensuring maximum reach and impact of nutrient management and recycling solutions!
