Novel Mobile Sonification Process for Local Valorisation of Lignocellulosic (Forest) Materials to produce Valuable Chemicals (BIOSONIC)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
The concept of the Lignocellulosic BioRefinery (LCBR) is gaining ground in the EU, as a way to increase the value obtained from wood waste such as sawdust and chippings, from €50/tonne to potentially as much as €500/tonne. To do this, the LCBR would cleanly fractionate the three components – cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin – without degrading them. (Paper and bioethanol “refineries” create good ...

Future-oriented integrated management of European forest landscapes (INTEGRAL)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2011, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2015,
"The vital environmental and socio-economic role of European forests is well documented and acknowledged in policy documents of both the European Union and its member states. However, there are critical incoherencies within and between trans-national, national and local forest-related land use policies, the central issue being mismatches between the policies and their implementation at the landsca ...

New Ways to Value and Market Forest Externalities (NEWFOREX)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2009, Date de fin: 31 mai 2014,
"Many forest goods and services are not marketed. Methods for assessing these values are incomplete, and so is an understanding of who benefits from them. Forest owners are not rewarded for the value of these externalities and may make decisions providing less externalities than optimal. We can increase welfare, if we develop ways to enhance their provision. The objectives of NEWFOREX are: 1: To p ...

Increasing Sustainability of European Forests: Modelling for Security Against Invasive Pests and Pathogens under Climate Change (ISEFOR)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2010, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2014,
"European forests are under unprecedented threat from the combined forces of climate change and large increases in the numbers of alien invasive pests and pathogens resulting from changes in patterns of global trade. Interactions between climate change, including likely changes in both mean temperatures and precipitation, will have serious impacts on the susceptibility of forest ecosystems to dama ...

Mobile Microwave Pyrolysis Plant turns Biomass into Fuel Locally (MicroFuel)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2009, Date de fin: 31 mai 2012,
Around 15 million private forest owners own about 60% of the forest land in the EU. Privately-owned forests have an average size of 13 ha, but the majority of them are less that 3 ha in size. This group supplies the raw material for the forest based industries with the help of 492,000 people employed in forestry. Forestry and forest-based and related industries employ about 3.4 million people. Eur ...

FIRE-SMART. FOREST AND LAND MANAGEMENT OPTIONS TO PREVENT UNWANTED FOREST FIRES (FIRESMART)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2010, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2012,
"Forest fire prevention involves a complex implementation. Because of the broad spectrum of activities included, prevention can be designed and performed at different scales, involving a great variety of institutions. Still, hardly ever legislation regulates the inclusion of fire prevention activities as part of forest management plans. Nevertheless, prevention is actually performed, although the ...
