THE TOOLS

Two complementary work steps

To reach its objectives, DECISIVE will develop two complementary work steps:

• A concept and tools consolidation step to validate the methods and processes allowing the implementation of a network of decentralised anaerobic digestion plants. New technologies, methods and indicators will be developed and integrated in a decision-support tool to allow their implementation in urban contexts.
• An innovative demonstration step to prove the efficiency of the methods and processes. It will focus on the implementation of two demonstration sites, the assessment of the integrated social, ecological, and economic impacts, and the identification of business outlooks.

Along four years and through seven work packages, the project will consolidate the development of the tools for implementing the new urban biowaste decentralised management system, demonstrate the feasibility of its implementation and plan how to reach the market potential for the new urban biowaste decentralised valorization system and associated processes.
