Strategic manage and planning use of domestic energy (SMAPUDE_LIFE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,
Background
The use of biomass and solar energy in Slovakia remains low, and thus the combustion of solid fossil fuels is keeping emission levels high. These fuels mostly originate outside of the country, limiting employment opportunities in the energy sector. Additionally, cheap and low-quality fossil fuels are usually burned in inefficient devices (stov ...

Improving eco-efficiency of bio-energy production and supply in riparian areas of the Danube river basin and other floodplains in Central Europe - DANUBENERGY. (DANUBENERGY)
Start date: Jul 31, 2012, End date: Dec 30, 2014,
Conventional production of biomass for biogas plants is often eco-inefficient due to the dominant use of maize and the increased risk of soil erosion and nutrient losses, as well as the low use of thermal energy during the generation of electricity in the combined heat and power plant. Furthermore, competition with food production on fertile land and the resulting increase of prices for land and a ...

Creative high efficient and effective use of biomass (CHEFUB)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
Background
Central Slovakia is responsible for a large amount of emissions, mostly the result of the combustion of coal, coke and sludge. There are more than 2 000 sawmills, forestry companies and wood processing firms in the region, producing over 200 000 tonnes/yr of biomass residuals. In north-west Slovakia, there are many sawdust suppliers but few del ...
