Reliable Bio-based Refinery Intermediates (BioMates)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2016, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2020,

The EU targets at replacing 10% of all transport fossil fuels with biofuels by 2020 to reduce the dependence on petroleum through the use of nationally, regionally or locally produced biofuels, while simultaneously reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, the EU is concerned with the questionable sustainability of the conventional biofuels and the unattractive production costs of second and thi ...

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 ...
