This document details the planned pilot trials in Uganda, Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, and Senegal. The document describes the trial timelines and parameters to be examined and preliminary results of trials initiated during the initial trial reporting period (M18-23), where available.

Three main categories of product are being piloted through a total of 22 different pilot trials: animal feed and whey from green biorefinery technology, biochar products from slow pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonisation (HTC), and pellets and briquettes from densification technologies.

These products have been adapted to local needs and contexts to develop specific use cases, e.g. with specific livestock, which are also examined in the pilot trials. 

This deliverable builds on the knowledge generated through WP1 and WP2 of the BIO4AFRICA project, namely the identification and adaptation of small-scale, bio-based technologies that can add value to agri-food residues and other low-value bio-based materials.
