This report summarises results and experiences gathered from field trials with recycling of pre-treated wastewater, diverted human urine mixed with water, and municipal sludge, within plantations of willow species specifically selected for biomass production. Experimental sites were established in Sweden (Roma), France (Orchies), Northern Ireland (Culmore) and Greece (Larissa). The project “Biomass Short-Rotation Willow Coppice Irrigated and Fertilised with Municipal Wastewater” was carried out during a four-year period with financial support from the EU FAIR Programme.
