Development of improved perennial non-food biomass and bioproduct crops for water stressed environments (WATBIO)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017,
"The goal of WATBIO is to use the power of next generation sequencing to develop an accelerated route for producing new germplasm with enhanced drought tolerance whilst maintaining biomass productivity and quality in water scarce, marginal environments unsuitable for food crops.This will be achieved for three non-food crops (Populus, Miscanthus and Arundo), suitable for growth on water scarce, mar ...

The development of very high performance bioderived composite materials of cellulose nanofibres and polysaccharides (NanoCelluComp)
Date du début: 1 mars 2011, Date de fin: 31 mars 2014,
The overall aim of the NanoCelluComp project is to develop a technology to utilise the high mechanical performance of cellulose nanofibres, obtained from food processing waste streams, combined with bioderived matrix materials, for the manufacture of high performance composite materials that will replace glass and carbon fibre reinforced plastics in many applications including transportation, wind ...

Enhancing Poplar Traits for Energy Applications (ENERGYPOPLAR)
Date du début: 1 mars 2008, Date de fin: 31 août 2012,
"Green plants application is being promoted through different European directives, which aim to achieve 5.75% of liquid fuel supply by 2010 and 20% by 2020. Liquid fuels derived from cellulosic biomass offer an important alternative to conventional energy sources to reduce Europe’s dependence on fossil fuels. Trees are attractive dedicated energy crops because they display a wide range of growth h ...

Improving Plant Cell Walls for Use as a Renewable Industrial Feedstock (RENEWALL)
Date du début: 1 août 2008, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2012,
"With oil reserves diminishing and the effects of industrial emissions on global climate, there is a need for renewable carbon-neutral industrial feedstocks. First generation biorefineries, producing biofuels and bioplastics by the fermentation of sugar or starch, are seeing a rapid expansion and are adding stress to food supplies. A more sustainable option is to use plant biomass from agricultura ...
