Horizon Europa NENUPHAR “New governance models to enhance nutrient pollution handling and nutrients recycling” (No. 101082169, ). Source of funding Horizon Europa Project website https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101082169 Project leader Ainis Lagzdiņš Duration 2023-2027 Budget 6.172.653,63 Project description The wide-ranging impact of nitrogen and phosphorus from fertilisers emphasises the urgent need for sustainable practices to reclaim these nutrients from waste streams. This will minimise environmental damage and safeguard ecosystems. Furthermore, with fertiliser prices skyrocketing, solutions must prioritise cleaner soil, air and water, ensuring competitive prices for new fertilisers. The EU-funded NENUPHAR project will addresse these challenges, targeting three common waste streams: manure, sewage sludges and dairy wastewater. It will introduce four key innovations: methodology for estimating nitrogen and phosphorus emissions, new governance models, innovative economic incentives and enabling technologies for nutrient recovery. NENUPHAR's approach will be piloted in various river basins and replicated in insular systems, potentially reclaiming significant nitrogen and phosphorus amounts.
