THE MICRO ALGAE BIOREFINERY (D-FACTORY)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2013, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2017,
The D-Factory aims to set a world benchmark for a sustainable biorefinery based on biomass from halophilic microalgae. Representing the largest (100s ha) of current commercial cultivation technologies for any microalga, Dunaliella microalgal biomass production uses raceways and lakes, and will be expanded with biorefinery concepts by drawing in European innovations in key biomass processing techno ...

Optimization of Perennial Grasses for Biomass Production (OPTIMA)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015,
OPTIMA will integrate an ambitious biology system approach for perennial grasses such as switchgrass, miscanthus and giant reed in the Mediterranean environment. Moreover the perennial species cardoon, which has been proven to be particularly adapted to the Mediterranean climate, will be used as a control species.The main objective of the OPTIMA project is to identify high-yielding perennial grass ...

Sustainable products from economic processing of biomass in highly integrated biorefineries (SUPRA-BIO)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2010, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2014,
Economic and sustainable production of fuels, chemicals and materials from biomass requires capture of the maximum energy and monetary value from sustainable feedstock. SUPRA-BIO achieves this by focussing on innovative research and development of critical unit operations, by using process intensification to match economic production to the scale of available feedstock and by process integration t ...

Sweet Sorghum : an alternative energy crop (SWEETFUEL)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2009, Date de fin: 30 juin 2014,
Increasing world market prices for fossil fuels, driven by limited reserves, growing demand and instability in producing regions, now render renewable fuels economical. Such fuels are also a pathway to reducing GHG emissions and mitigating climate change. Bio-ethanol from crop plants is a promising, partial solution to sustainably satisfy the energy demand for road transport. The success of bio-et ...

Global Assessment of Biomass and Bioproduct Impacts on Socio-economics and Sustainability (Global-Bio-Pact)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2010, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2013,
The objective of the Global-Bio-Pact project is the development and harmonisation of global sustainability certification systems for biomass production, conversion systems and trade in order to prevent negative socio-economic impacts. A functioning and sustainable certification scheme requires reliable data and profound research in order to evaluate impacts of biomass production. Currently, the su ...

"Sustainable and integrated production of liquid biofuels, bioenergy and green chemicals from glycerol in biorefineries" (GLYFINERY)
Date du début: 1 mars 2008, Date de fin: 29 févr. 2012,
"The EU target to increase the use of renewable energy carriers in the transportation sector in the coming years has already started to boost the production of biodiesel from rapeseed and other vegetable oils. This is leading to an immense increase in the production of glycerol, which is an unavoidable by-product from the esterification process. Since the volume of the glycerol-byproduct has alrea ...

Biomass Energy Europe (BEE)
Date du début: 1 mars 2008, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2010,
"The objective of the project is to harmonise biomass resource assessments, focusing on the availability of biomass for energy in Europe and its neighbouring regions. This harmonisation will improve the consistency, accuracy and reliability of biomass assessments, which can serve the planning of a transition to renewable energy in the European Union. The project activities will include (i) the ana ...

"Future Crops for Food, Feed, Fiber and Fuel" (4F CROPS)
Date du début: 1 juin 2008, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2010,
"As different sectors – food, feed, fiber, and fuels – compete for land, the yielding potential of the future non-food crops has to be as efficient as possible in order to minimize the competition for land. The main objective of the proposed 4F CROPS is to survey and analyse all the parameters that will play an important role in successful non-food cropping systems in the agriculture of EU27 along ...
