Systemic approach to Reduce Energy demand and CO2 emissions of processesthat transform agroforestry waste into High Added value Products. (REHAP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2020,

Europe's position in the production of biochemicals from biomass and by-products is limited to a few compounds, while their demand is among the largest in the world. However, Europe has a lot of world leader chemical companies. On the other hand, lignocellulosic waste constitutes one of the most abundant resources without competing with food chain.REHAP’s 16 partners aim at revalorizing agricultur ...

3to4: Converting C3 to C4 photosynthesis for sustainable agriculture (3TO4)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Most plants use the C3 pathway of photosynthesis that is compromised by gross inefficiencies in CO2 fixation. However, some plants use a super-charged photosynthetic mechanism called C4 photosynthesis. The C4 pathway is used by the most productive vegetation and crops on Earth. In addition to faster photosynthesis, C4 plants demand less water and less nitrogen. Overall, our aim is to introduce the ...

RE-NERGY 2014 – Building the sustainable economy

Start date: Nov 1, 2014, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

The RE-NERGY Project, with the proposal of 5 weeks transnational mobility, renews its commitment in the field of vocational training by focusing on new themes, but always starting from the needs of the cluster, as a response to the training needs of the productive sectors of the eastern provinces Piedmont (especially Alessandria Province). The focus then becomes polarized toward the handicraft s ...

Eco-friendly biorefinery fine chemicals from CO2 photo-catalytic reduction (ECO2CO2)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2016,

The Eco2CO2 project aims at exploiting a photo-electro-chemical (PEC) CO2 conversion route for the synthesis of methanol as a key intermediate for the production of fine chemicals (fragrances, flavourings, adhesives, monomers,…) in a lignocellulosic biorefinery. A distinct improvement in the ecological footprint of the envisaged chemical industries will thus be achieved by: i) boosting the potenti ...

Direct biological conversion of solar energy to volatile hydrocarbon fuels by engineered cyanobacteria (DIRECTFUEL)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

"The objective of the DirectFuel project is to develop photosynthetic microorganisms that catalyze direct conversion of solar energy and carbon dioxide to engine-ready fuels. A key process target of the proposal is 'direct' in the sense that fuel production should not require destructive extraction and further chemical conversion to generate directly useable transport fuels. To further increase ou ...
