EUのFarm-to-Fork戦略とHELCOMバルト海栄養塩リサイクル戦略に対応し、CiNURGiプロジェクトは11のバイオベース肥料（BBF）バリューチェーンを評価。単一操作ユニットプロセス（SOUP）概念に基づく簡易評価法を開発し、栄養塩リサイクル効果、直接排出影響、社会的費用を指標化。結果は、BBFの持続可能性がベースラインの非効率性に強く依存することを示した。
English
Responding to the EU Farm-to-Fork strategy and HELCOM Baltic Sea nutrient recycling strategy, the CiNURGi project evaluated 11 bio-based fertilizer (BBF) value chains. A streamlined assessment method based on the Single Operation Unit Process (SOUP) concept was developed, using indicators for nutrient recycling impact, direct emission impact, and social cost. Results show that BBF sustainability strongly depends on baseline inefficiencies.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では、肥料価格高騰や輸入依存の課題から国産バイオベース肥料への関心が高まっている。本論文の評価手法は、日本の農業廃棄物や下水汚泥の肥料利用を検討する際の枠組みとして参考になる。ただし、日本のGX政策（グリーン成長戦略、みどりの食料システム戦略）との直接的な接続は弱い。
In the global GX context
This paper provides a practical assessment framework for bio-based fertilizers, relevant to circular economy and nutrient recycling policies globally. The SOUP-based method can be adapted for other regions, but the specific case studies are Baltic-focused. It contributes to the broader GX context of decarbonizing agriculture and reducing fertilizer-related emissions.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Researchers in agricultural sustainability and nutrient recycling can adopt the SOUP-based assessment method for evaluating bio-based fertilizer chains.

🏛政策担当者:Policymakers in nutrient recycling and fertilizer regulation can leverage the social cost metric to design incentives for bio-based fertilizers.
📄 Abstract（原文）
The European Union's Farm-to-Fork strategy and the HELCOM Baltic Sea Regional Nutrient Recycling Strategy emphasize the need to increase nutrient recycling and reduce the environmental and economic burdens associated with mineral fertilizers. To support this transition, the Interreg Baltic Sea-funded CiNURGi project evaluated 11 bio-based fertilizer (BBF) value chains selected from 24 identified cases across agricultural, municipal, and industrial waste streams. A streamlined assessment method based on the Single Operation Unit Process (SOUP) concept was developed to compare BBF production with relevant baseline waste management practices using three indicators: nutrient recycling impact (NRI), direct emission impact (DEI), and guiding social cost (GSC), including the capitalized social costs of nutrient losses and greenhouse gas emissions. Performance varied widely across cases, with NRI ranging from −9% (digestate-based BBF) to 100% (municipal wastewater sludge), DEI from −13.2 (manure processing) to +28.4 t CO 2 -eq per functional unit (food industry side-streams), and GSC from €−3,550 (manure processing) to €1,487 (digestate-based BBF). Municipal and industrial waste streams generally achieved the highest nutrient recycling benefits due to nutrient inefficient baselines such as incineration or conventional wastewater treatment, whereas farming-based chains showed limited or negative net benefits because they typically replace already nutrient-efficient baseline practices. Overall, the results demonstrate that the sustainability of BBF production depends strongly on baseline inefficiencies, nutrient-retention performance, and processing energy demand. BBF systems offer the greatest societal value where current waste management results in substantial nutrient losses, and targeted policy measures that internalize environmental and climate externalities may be required to improve the market competitiveness of these technologies.
