The aim of the project Biobased Fertilisers Achterhoek (‘Kunstmestvrije Achterhoek’ in Dutch) is to make fertilisation practices more sustainable through the use of locally available nutrients from renewable sources. The project is part of the Sixth Action Programme of the Netherlands which serves the Nitrates Directive. One of the objectives was t...
Lignocellulosic biomass is an underutilised renewable resource. Using this biomass for biobased applications is hampered by a lack of possibilities to efficiently link the biomass to markets which include both energy applications such as heat and electricity production, conversion to transport fuels and chemicals and materials. Siting conversion fa...

In de periode 2017-2021 is in opdracht van het ministerie van Landbouw, Natuur en Voedselkwaliteit de zevende Nederlandse Bosinventarisatie (NBI-7) uitgevoerd. Dit rapport beschrijft de onderliggende methoden en de basisresultaten. Bos beslaat 11% van het grondgebruik in Nederland, maar de oppervlakte daalde licht. Trends uit de voorgaande inventar...

This report describes and explains a Circular Evaluation Framework that supports the decision making process in the implementation of processes for the valorisation of agri-residues or by-products. Implementation of this framework leads to a quantitative comparison of circularity, socio-economic impact, environmental impact and implementability for...
In the context of the Sixth Action Program of the Netherlands for the Nitrates Directive, the Pilot Biobased Fertilisers Achterhoek was implemented. Wageningen Environmental Research supported this pilot with a Monitoring Program that was carried out from 2018 until 2021. The subjects of the Monitoring Program were to investigate the risks associat...
Energy transition and landscape are often considered as zero-sum game: progress for the former equals (perceived) losses for the latter. These perceived losses stem from the transformation of familiar and cherished landscapes. Wind turbines, solar fields and other energy technologies change landscapes, driven by (inter)national energy transition ta...
