Models of region and framework specific solutions for processing, transport and use of BBFs

The indirect economic and environmental impact (Task 7.1) and the demand drivers and barriers of BBFs (Task 7.2) will be built in to an existing partial equilibrium model of BBFs and manure. Different processing (separation, composting, drying, struvite precipitation, digestion, denitrification and their combination) and transport options are covered in the model and are based on results from the FP7 ManureEcomine project. The model can simulate the spatially explicit market of BBFs, manure, transport, fertiliser application and processing under different scenarios. Based on the info from Tasks 7.1 and 7.2, the broader economic impact (GDP, employment and ecosystem services) will also be assessed
