Abstract:
“uP_running” is an EU H2020 project, currently in progress (2016-2019). The project goal is to set out the path in developing bioenergy value chains based on fruit tree residues from pruning and uprooting operations. The partnering countries are Spain, Greece, Italy, France, Portugal and Croatia (from EU), together with Ukraine. Despite significant technological progresses greatly improved the feasibility of this kind of business, still a discouraging immobility is observed and, apart few virtuous exceptions, a “wait-and-see” behavior is generally detected. A “stakeholders’ network” (created in each project “Demo Region”) is the participating approach considered the most fruitful to overcome barriers, seize the opportunities, and promote the building up of a productive sector able to valorize residual feedstock such as pruning/uprooting. Results about the first year of project on this issue are reported, focusing on activities supporting the local bioenergy value chains through a “Sector Analysis” and a consequent “Action Plan” at regional scale.
