THREE C aims at the development and introduction of economically viable value chains based on charcoal raw materials from waste biomass in NWE.
The project is based on the predecessor project RE-DIRECT, which has shown that it is possible and sustainable to use charcoal as an alternative raw material for products in the agricultural, waste water, health and cosmetics industries.
The project will promote the development of high quality products and value chains based on charcoal raw materials in the participating regions in DE, BE, UK, IE, FR and NL in order to introduce a climate-friendly and sustainable Circular Carbon Economy in NWE.
The project is led by an interdisciplinary project team of universities, public institutions, business support and regional development agencies and experts in capacity building, investment and marketing.
During the project period:
A total of 250 stakeholders working in product and service development in the new sector will be supported over the duration of the project, including professionals from at least 14 start-ups and 70 SMEs. 21 product lines and value chains will be developed in all regions and sectors. Europe-wide marketing and supply will be promoted via the CC-Net and its European marketing platform for charcoal products.

Seven Circular Carbon Hubs (CC-Hubs) will be established all over North-West Europe, adapted to the regional conditions. The CC-Hubs will bring together all important stakeholders to develop local concepts for a regional Circular Carbon Economy: collectors, convergers, producers as well as B2B/B2C customers and investors.
At the Hubs, local SMEs and start-ups will get access to services like co-working, counselling, training, and networking. Additional business support will be introduced in the form of a voucher scheme. It will offer opportunities and resources to develop products and services for the regional and interregional CCE, among other incubators, quality assurance and improvement facilities.
Three Circular Carbon-Labs (CC-Labs) will develop quality control mechanisms for tailor-made products and raw materials.
The CC-Labs will be linked to the CC-Hubs to provide their valuable expertise to stakeholders in order to support the product and business development of the Circular Carbon Economy. Predestined product application examples will be examined in detail. A THREE C quality label will be introduced for products and producers, which will certify the proven quality.
A European umbrella organisation (CC-Net) will be established to assist all present and future participants in the creation and growth of the Circular Carbon Economy.
The CC-Net will be backed up by in-depth interregional market research and needs analyses. An online marketing platform, in combination with a supply chain management mechanism will be created to connect the regions with suitable investors.
The main stakeholders will be informed and trained on technical, environmental, and business aspects of the THREE C approach and enabled to inform, promote, and implement it in and beyond the project regions in NWE.
THREE C addresses you as a citizen, professional or entrepreneur to become active in the circular carbon economy.
