DESCRIPTION

L2B.05: Nutrient Recovery and Recycling

Taught by: Pytrik Reidsma

Circular economy solutions for greater nutrient recovery and recycling. Crop-livestock integration, less food waste, by-products use and increased nutrient recovery and recycling are key measures to optimize nutrient use efficiency across the whole food supply chain.

L2A.15: From Secondary Sources to Recycled Fertilizers

Taught by: Mickey Vinocour

This class explores the transition from traditional to sustainable fertilizer production using secondary sources. Students will examine macro trends analysis on land and water pollution, ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions, geopolitical resource scarcity, and the inventory of secondary sources like agricultural waste and industrial by-products.

L2A.11: Sustainable Water Management

Taught by: Hicham Benyoucef

This class is an introductory presentation focusing on: Sustainable Water Management: Fertilizer production as a case study. The fertilizer industry can be assimilated to conventional chemical industry, and is based on phosphorus (phosphate rock), nitrogen (Ammonia) and potassium (potassium containing ores) in various combinations.

L2A.08: Sustainable Mining

Taught by: Abdelhadi Khaldoun

This course is developed with the aim to provide participants with the main basics and challenges related to sustainable mining.

L2A.07: Sustainable Phosphate Production – Part 2

Taught by: Julian Hilton, Malika Moussaid

This new, more advanced learning unit looks at the major changes now going on in valorisation and use of phosphogypsum (PG) all around the world. In the process the module introduces the third IFA PG Report “From Waste to Inventory” – the PG business case. The report is in three sections: A - covering the financial and investment case; B - case studies on a wide range of technical and scientific activities associated largely with road building, cement and construction materials and of course soil amendments for saline, sodic soils and sulphur-deficient soils; and C - some of the remarkable break-out uses of PG now already in or close to entering global markets.

L2A.06: Sustainable Phosphate Production – Part 1

Taught by: Hicham Benyoucef

This class is an introductory presentation focusing on Sustainable Phosphate Production. The class will provide an overview of the big challenges of the phosphate industry and the P efficient use, generated waste and losses occurring within the whole value chain, starting from the mining and beneficiation passing by the chemicals and fertilizers production.

L2A.01: Green and Circular Economy

Taught by: Antoine Hoxha, Theo Paquet

This module explores the ongoing transition of the European Fertilizer Industry towards carbon neutrality. It assesses the significant work that has already been achieved and identifies the technological pathways moving forward alongside the regulatory drivers.

L1.03: Sustainability for Fertilizers

Taught by: Volker Andresen

We are living in unprecedented times with a list of seemingly unsolvable problems like climate change and food security growing, and the pressure on the fertilizer industry to become a significant part of the global solution is rising. Is our license to operate at risk or is this the right time to revise all? In this class, students will discover how the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) relate to fertilizers, what the present sustainability advancements in our fertilizer business are, and how fertilizer production and use may evolve the next 30 years.
