New technology and strategy for a large and sustainable deployment of second generation biofuel in rural areas (BABET-REAL5)

Start date: Feb 1, 2016, End date: Jan 31, 2020,

The business model currently under development for second generation ethanol is a replication of the model used for first generation which is plants with massive annual production capacities. Such high production rates require high capital investment and huge amounts of biomasses (250-350,000 tons per year) concentrated in small radius catchment areas to afford transportation costs (50 km). Under ...

Quantification of ecological services for sustainable agriculture (QUESSA)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

"The project aims to identify the key semi-natural habitats (SNH), outside and within crops, providing essential ecological services (ES). Vegetation traits will be linked to potential ES provision, case studies will measure actual ES levels and inform models which will show unused opportunities and trade-offs among ES by SNH from habitat to landscape scale. This will be achieved for a range of re ...

Biocommodity refinery (BIOCORE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

"BIOCORE will create and demonstrate create a lignocellulosic biorefinery for sustainable processing of agricultural residues (wheat and rice straws), SRC wood (poplar) and hardwood forestry residues, into 2G biofuels, bulk chemicals, polymers, speciality molecules, heat and power. To reach this overall objective, BIOCORE will: 1) Describe how a mixed lignocellulosic feedstock-based biorefinery ca ...

Indicators for biodiversity in organic and low-input farming systems (BioBio)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

Organic and low-input farming systems have been shown to benefit farmland biodiversity although a generic indicator system to assess these benefits at the European level is lacking. The BIOBIO project will therefore pursue the following objectives: 1. Conceptualization of criteria for a scientifically-based selection of biodiversity indicators for organic/low-input farming systems; 2. Assessment ...

Economic and environmental development of the plantations of high stem in the SUDOE (ECOVERGER)

Start date: Mar 31, 2002, End date: Nov 29, 2005,

O objectivo do projecto ECOVERGER é o de partilhar os conhecimentos técnicos e as experiências de diferentes parceiros com o fim de se elaborar uma estratégia comum de acções à escala do Sudoeste Europeu (SUDOE), visando preservar de forma duradoura os pomares extensivos ao ar livre (porte elevado) e os sistemas agro-florestais tradicionais mistos (associação árvores-cultivos-animais). A valorizaç ...

Ecological Diversity in Agriculture

Natura 2000, European network of sites, by the flora and fauna exceptional which they shelter, is variously operated in the European countries. The appropriation of the stakes which it is not obvious with the agricultural populations, the implementation of the device is often lived as binding and technocratic what does not facilitate its understanding by the farmers, moreover little associated ...
