2021
Our aim is to promote innovation and business development in the circular economy based on alternative carbon products, technologies and services, using local carbon feedstocks.
THREE C
Creating and sustaining Charcoal value chains to promote a Circular Carbon economy in NW Europe
THREE-C is a €5.6 million cooperation project funded by the European Union Interreg North West Europe Programme. The partnership encompasses organisations from Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, and the UK.
Our forerunner project, RE-DIRECT, has clearly shown that waste biomass (e.g. from semi-natural grasslands, roadside verges, grass, leaves and shrubs) can produce high quality feedstock for various types of carbon (biochar and activated carbon) products. We have identified numerous applications for products made from biochar, for instance in the waste and water sectors, for environmental and filtration technologies; in horticulture, agriculture and animal husbandry; as well as for carbon sequestration.
What Severn Wye do
Within this project, Severn Wye will utilise their extensive experience of innovation, biogas, biomass and biochar projects to evaluate the potential for pyrolysis and biochar adoption as a viable, environmental and economical process within the UK.
THREE C offers 3 support facilities:
- CC-Hubs: Knowledge sharing and business support
- CC-Labs: Quality testing and applications
- CC-Net: European network for shared learning and training
These facilities can be accessed via our THREE C professionalisation programme, for professionals from private or public sector, to develop products and services based on biochar and carbon products, and to collaborate with our European network.
