All Partner regions from the REMOWE main stage project will be continuing&deepening co-operation in the Extension Stage project ABOWE. In REMOWE it has been concluded that efficient instruments are necessary in partner regions to increase the rate of utilizing waste into energy. ABOWE project covers two technologies that rise from the REMOWE project: biorefinery and dry digestion. The novel biorefinery concept was evaluated in REMOWE to have the highest innovativeness and sustainability in Finland and Estonia. REMOWE results also point out the potential to use dry digestion in biogas production. These two technologies will be tested in semi-industrial mobile pilot plants. The pilot plants will be designed, manufactured and tested with selected waste materials from selected potential implementers/investors. The tests will provide with Proof of technology for both technologies. ABOWE directly contributes to the Climate Change, Renewable Energy & Waste Management objectives of EU. The objective of ABOWE is through pilot plant tests and related activities to produce investment decision support information in form of Investment Memo for each testing region. Potential implementers&investors, such as sewage treatment plants, farms, food factories & waste management companies form the key group of ABOWE associated organisations. After start-up and training of testing partners and other stakeholders, the pilot plants will be transported to testing regions to be thoroughly tested there from the regions’ point of view. Testing of biorefinery will take place in Finland, Poland & Sweden whereas testing of dry digestion will take place in Lithuania, Estonia & Sweden. The Investment Memo for each region will include Proof of technology as well as economical calculations, business plan and management plan. It will be a manual for potential implementers & investors of implementing full scale applications of the two technologies and of respective investment opportunities. The regional model, a key outcome from REMOWE, will be used to evaluate the both technologies' economical and climatic impacts from each testing region's point of view, which facilitates compiling Investment Memos. Investment Memos will be presented in specific Investor Events in each testing region to potential implementers and investors. The objective is also to enhance willingness to invest by answering (with the information produced) to the questions that implementers&investors are asking. These questions are listed in Letters of support, signed by potential implementers/investors (associated organizations). Via Investment Memos and Investor Events ABOWE project integrates potential implementers and investors to investments of full scale plants. The desired outcome from ABOWE are implementer/investor driven continuation projects targeting full scale plant investments of the two technologies. Achievements: Pilot A mobile biorefinery plant has been overall planned by Adj. Prof. Elias Hakalehto from Finnoflag Oy and engineered and realized to major part by Engineering team of Savonia University of Applied Sciences and Finnoflag Oy. SME’s have participated in delivering components and performing heating, ventilation, air condition (HVAC) engineering and installations. Savo Vocational College has participated in the installations by many students. Process of engineering and realizing Pilot A has involved directly around 50 persons to work towards common goal. Pilot A was completed and transferred to its 1st testing site Savon Sellu cartonboard factory's waste water treatment plant in Kuopio. International seven days' training of Pilot A operation for Polish and Swedish testing personnel has been realised. The Finnish tests included six test runs in tight co-operation between Finnoflag Oy and Savonia University of Applied Sciences. Also students from Savo Vocational School participated. The goal of test runs is to provide "proof of concept" on the ways, how biomass based waste materials could be used for producing, with the help of micro-organisms, biofuels, organic chemicals, fertilizers and nutrients in an economically feasible way. During the Finnish testing time 2-3/2014 the following products/benefits were obtained from the feed-in materials: Ethanol, Butanol, 2,3-butanediol, Organic acids, Hydrogen, Fertilizer biomass/ biogas, Purified water, Decreased waste treatment expenses, Lesser environmental and climate load. After the Finnish tests Pilot A was transferred to Vantaa and was nationally presented there in the Finnish Science Centre Heureka. Then Pilot A was transferred to Poland & started up for the 2nd testing period in the Polish testing site ZGO Gac Ltd, a regional waste management centre in Lower Silesia. As the primary feed-in has been potato waste from a nearby chip factory. Also separately collected biowaste were to be gradually added later on. Lithuanian startup of Pilot B gave feedback on future training strategies & showed challenges of implementation of bioenergy into new regions. All activities led to a real case scenario development. Operation in Estonia has not been challenging from technical point of view as scenario focused on utilisation of manure as waste due to political waste management background in Estonia. Although Pilot B design is for dry digestion, handling of liquid manure succeeded well. Based on Estonian period sanitation and digestate utilization have been taken into account for future strategy development. Startup in Sweden took place with municipal solid waste. Even under tough conditions Pilot B has been giving full proof of concept. On behalf of stakeholders' and investors' interest, parallel experiments in a garage fermentation system have been taking place. Pilot B could give strong impacts on flow of information into potential future regions for waste-to-energy strategies in the BSR.
