InnoPellet Self-supporting biofuel sludge pellet producing system for small and medium sized sewage plants

Coordinator: INNOWASTE KORLATOLT FELELOSSEGU TARSASAG (HU)

There is a huge number of small and medium sized sewage plants in and out of the European Union that cannot pass over urban sewage sludge for agricultural use in sufficient proportion (less than 50% in the EU), therefore the management of these sewage plants usually ask and receive permissions from environmental authorities for disposing the communal sludge in disused mines or dumps. Instead of disposal/landfilling – that regularly causes pollution of natural water resources – it would be more beneficial to produce sludge pellets. Such experiences drove us to create the InnoPellet technology,…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €1.5M toward a total project budget of €2.2M — a funding rate of 70%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 3 years from 2016-03-01 to 2019-02-28.
