Feasibility Study on Value Chain Interconnection.

This deliverable provides a comprehensive feasibility study on the interconnection of bio-based value chains, witha particular focus on how digital technologies can enable cross-sectoral integration. It expands upon previousBBTWINS outputs by assessing how innovations such as Digital Twins, AI, IoT, and blockchain can not only optimize individual agrifood processes but also foster synergies across agriculture, energy, waste valorization, andbioprocessing sectors.Drawing from the project’s two real-world use cases—PORTESA (meat value chain) and DIMITRA (fruit valuechain)—the report illustrates how bio-based by-products like manure, pruning waste, and animal residues can betransformed into high-value outputs such as biogas, hydroxyapatite, polyphenols, keratin, and collagen. It evaluatesthe technical and economic viability of these transformations, identifying which processes are market-ready andwhich require further development or policy support.
