  1. Oulu Innovation Alliance City of Oulu University of Oulu VTT Technical Research Centre Oulu University of Applied Sciences Technopolis Implementing business and innovation policy, incl. start-up, growth, relocation, conferences and operating environment development services Promoting free international level research and education, developing and maintenance research infrastructures, and developing utilization baths of research results Producing new ideas, technology and innovations, developing new applications and knowledge for business, and developing infrastructure that supports research and business activities Applying, transferring and developing professional expert knowledge Operating environments and services for companies and organizations

  2. CIRU – Platform • Coordinating Industrial • ResidueUtilisation

  3. CIRU –Platform • To enhanceco-operation and innovationorientedresearch in area of materialefficiency and make us aimenoughhigh • Inside University • Between Oulu area R&D units • Betweencompanies • Especially SME companies • More researchcooperation inside Finland and European Union

  4. Coordinatingco-operation

  5. SMARTPro2 as an example

  6. CASE SYMPEL –projectSymbiosis Pellet Expands Ecology -Granulation and Utilisation of New Eco-innovative Industrial By-products NEED: • Bigger and mobile units are needed to get by-products in pellet form as needed to be able to achieve amounts Directive 2006/12/EC • More flexibility to production unit and security for investment done by SMEs on service business • More flexibility to product variety needs • More materials to be used in new utilisation model • Better fertilizers, nutrients from waste water • Light stone material needed for several purposes NEED: • Bigger and mobile units are needed to get by-products in pellet form as needed to be able to achieve amounts Directive 2006/12/EC • More flexibility to production unit and security for investment done by SMEs on service business • More flexibility to product variety needs • More materials to be used in new utilisation model • Better fertilizers, nutrients from waste water • Light stone material needed for several purposes APPROACH: • Mobile, flexible (more silos and dosing equipment) and bigger units, with more variation possibilities in products • Long time research for this area from research Institutes and universities making testing • Several laboratory and field testing • Marketing benefits from LCA analysis and results are from liable source, also articles. • Second generation products, more value BENEFITS: • Products are economically clearly cheaper than competing products • Unit size will be almost maximum after this project, no need in future to became bigger • Less logistic and costs • Bigger units means more R&D professionals inside SMEs, normally experts are outside SMEs, in future have to hire more own R&D people to handle several difficult details • Solves partly sustainable use of phosphorus COMPETITION: • There is no large and mobile granulation units currently available in the market. • Bigger size is needed to make it economical, and massive testing is needed to make enough demand for this change • Needs are the same in Europe and this will demonstrate benefits for even bigger units • This will make enough cap between prices of by-product based and from primary raw material based products – markets will bloom

  7. Participantsfrom Oulu University

  8. CO2, captured in trees Promoting Tree Biomass Based Energy Production by Introducing Forestry in Carbon Dioxide Trading System

  9. CASE:Flyash as fertilizer http://www.metla.fi/hanke/7464/pdf/Ash-as-a-forest-fertiliser-brochure.pdf

  10. Peatlandwater • To increasebenefits for granulatesfromsymbiosis of differentmaterialflows of by-products • Main componentflyash • Addedmaterialsslagorwaste lime and fromwatersaim is to collectnitrogen and phosporous

  11. Actions taken to increase forest growth Reforestation • Better site preparation • Increased stem number • Right type of tree Pre-commercial thinning • Early pre-commercial thinning • Increased stem number Nutrient • In younger forest stand • Repeated Promoting Tree Biomass Based Energy Production by Introducing Forestry in Carbon Dioxide Trading System
