LIFE at the EU Clean Air Forum 2023

The fourth Clean Air Forum brought together clean air stakeholders and interested parties from across the European Union, including competent authorities of the Member States at all relevant levels, the Commission, industry, civil society, and the scientific community, in a one-and-a-half-day conference. The event served as a platform to reflect on developing and implementing effective European, national and local air policies, projects and programmes. Attention was also paid to the ongoing revision of EU rules on ambient air quality. 

LIFE participation: 

The following LIFE projects were present at the event:  

LIFE CLINSH is dedicated to enhancing urban air quality by implementing emission-reducing technologies and alternative fuels within the Inland Waterway transport sector. Through practical testing, this project has provided valuable insights into the effectiveness and operational costs of these innovations, contributing significantly to the pursuit of cleaner urban environments.  

LIFE-CMCD has a long-term goal to advance sustainability within the dairy farming industry. The project focuses on reducing ammonia emissions and establishing circular farming practices. Key to its success is the innovative Lely Sphere system, which combines various technologies, including a modified barn floor, a manure robot and an air extraction unit that converts ammonia from manure into circular fertiliser.  

LIFE Green Ammonia‘s main objective is to develop, scale-up and market commercial models that allow the management of livestock waste through the absorption of ammonia, considerably reducing its environmental impact. 

The LIFE Programme was also participating with a stand on the Promenade Deck in the Catering & Exhibition area.
