Bio and Circular Economy infrastructure (BIC-FIRI)

In this infrastructure project, the goal is to develop and establish a new BIC-FIRI Hub, which enables a holistic approach for the valorisation of different waste streams that could replace fossil fuels and other virgin resources.

The infrastructure will act as a test bed for new technologies and concepts before their up-scaling, industrialisation and implementation and provide various ways to network with industrial actors and other stakeholders.

In addition, the BIC-FIRI hub will ensure the flow of the information throughout the value chain by comprehensive analytical set-ups and advanced digital solutions for long-term information sharing, storing, and serving. 

The upgraded infrastructure will allow to provide new services and establish strong connection with local stakeholders by filling analytical gaps in value chains, integrating leading-edge research with applications, and educate new experts for local needs.
