Best agricultural practices for Climate Change: Integrating strategies for mitigation and adaptation (Life+ ClimAgri)
Date du début: 1 juin 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,
Background
According to the European Environment Agency, agriculture is the fourth highest greenhouse gas emitting sector in the EU, accounting for 9.9% of GHG emissions in 2011.
The agricultural sector, moreover, is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Consequently, the sector faces the challenge of mitigating climate change and a ...

Innovative, environmentally friendly nanophosphor down converter materials for enhanced solar cell efficiency that will reduce energy production costs and increase cell lifetime (NanoPhoSolar)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
The NanoPhoSolar project aims to overcome the limitations relating to the efficiency and performance of a range of photovoltaic (PV) systems by developing a transparent NanoPhosphor down converting material capable of absorbing Ultra Violet (UV) and short wavelength visible light and re-emitting in the more useful longer wavelength visible spectrum(range 525-850nm).This will enable the efficiency ...

Sustainable agriculture in Carbon arithmetics (LIFE+AGRICARBON)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2014,
Background
Emissions of atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations from agriculture account for 10% of the GHGs at a global level. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in farming come mainly from ploughing, which causes soil carbon loss. Conservation Agriculture (CA) can play a significant role here, as a provider of carbon sinks to counteract emissions. Precisi ...

Development of extraction process for removal of pigments and additives for recycling of polymers (ClearPlast)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2008, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2010,
Production of PE in Western Europe alone is 13.5 million tonnes p.a. The scrap PE from this production is 15% scrap of which 35% is coloured; creating 709 000 tons of off-spec material. The price on off-spec PE is €1050/ton, indicating a European industrial waste PE recycling market €744M p.a. only in Western Europe. The annual production world wide of 60 mill. tons PE indicates a world wide marke ...
