- Evaluation of the potential of biomass to energy in Portugal : conclusions from the CONVERTE projectPublication . Abreu, Mariana; Reis, Alberto; Moura, Patrícia; Fernando, Ana Luisa; Luís, Gabriel; Quental, Lídia; Patinha, Pedro; Gírio, FranciscoABSTRACT: The main objective of the Portuguese project "CONVERTE-Biomass Potential for Energy" is to support the transition to a low-carbon economy, identifying biomass typologies in mainland Portugal, namely agri-forest waste, energy crops and microalgae. Therefore, the aim was to design and construct a georeferenced (mapping) database for mainland Portugal, to identify land availability for the implementation of energy crops and microalgae cultures, and to locate agricultural and forestry production areas (including their residues) with potential for sustainable exploitation for energy. The ArcGIS software was used as a Geographic Information System (GIS) tool, introducing the data corresponding to the type of soil, water needs and edaphoclimatic conditions in shapefile and raster data type, to assess the areas for the implantation of the biomass of interest. After analysing the data of interest in each map in ArcGIS, the intersection of all maps is presented, suggesting adequate areas and predicting biomass productions for the implementation of each culture in mainland Portugal. Under the conditions of the study, cardoon (72 kha, 1085 kt), paulownia (81 kha, 26 kt) and microalgae (29 kha, 1616 kt) presented the greater viability to be exploited as biomass to energy in degraded and marginal soils.

FRONTSH1P systemic approach will be enabled by a circular governance model that connects environmental policies with social justice through just transition ensuring environmental sustainability, jobs and social inclusion. The flexibility and modularity of the four CSSs guarantee a high replicability and scalability to other territories across Europe and beyond and this will be demonstrated with the involvement of four additional Regions across EU. This report – Deliverable 2.2 (D2.2) is the result of the work carried out under the Work Package 2 - Regional Systemic Circular Economic Approach, Task 2.2. - Regional Circularity Booster Toolkit. D2.2 meets the FRONTSH1P key enabler and requirement, presents the initial approach of the digital platform creation and methodology for data collection and sharing scheme elaboration. The EU General Data Protection Regulation and open data compliant frameworks have been addressed in D2.2 too.

- Mapping municipal solid waste to boost circular valorization practices in ŁódzkiePublication . Moura, Patrícia; Eusebio, Ana; Patinha, Pedro; Quental, Lídia; Lukasik, Rafal M.ABSTRACT: Geographic Information System (GIS) is a powerful instrument that can be used for the spatial representation of waste and by-product flows at various levels, allowing to improve municipal solid waste (MSW) management. The mapping obtained can be advantageously targeted to build a regional network of technological, economic, social and environmental linkages and to boost circular economy practices. In this work, the data on MSW produced in the Łódzkie region, Poland, during 2021 were used to generate a geolocalized database and an interactive web map, using ArcGIS software. The geodatabase and the map visualization were organized in three layers of information with increasing detail to foster a map-driven symbiosis between waste suppliers and waste recipients, paving the way for a more circular regional economy.

- GIS-Based Model to Identify Marginal Soils for Bioenergy ProductionPublication . Abreu, Mariana; Reis, Alberto; Fernando, Ana Luisa; Quental, Lídia; Patinha, Pedro; Gírio, FranciscoABSTRACT: Energy crops are industrial species (woody, perennial, and annual species, among others) that can generate biofuels, energy, and bioproducts. Due to their tolerance, there is an interest to grow energy crops in marginal/contaminated/degraded soils, avoiding Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC) burdens. Therefore, this study aims at the development and use of Geographic Information System (GIS) tools to spatially relate land-use selection and optimal species allocation, as an useful decision support systems (DSS), modelled to determine adequate marginal areas, inadequate for food and feed crops. ArcGIS software was used as a GIS tool, and parameters associated with areas considered to be marginal in mainland Portugal were identified. To identify marginal soils, it is necessary to know what type of criteria applies. It was considered the Regulation EU(1305)2013-Annex III, which details all the criteria and the respective parameters, that marginal soil should present being these, the base of this work. Considering all these criteria, a search in several databases was realized to collect the data that exist and how all these could be utilized to determine marginal soils in mainland Portugal. The maps obtained show that marginal soils in Portugal represent less than 10% of the territory.
