Integration of Biology and Engineering into an Economical and Energy-Efficient 2G Bioethanol Biorefinery (PROETHANOL2G)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2014,
The European Union has set a 10 % mandatory target for the share of renewables (including biofuels) in transportation sector by 2020 in Europe.To achieve this goal sustainable biofuels from lignocellulosic biomass must deploy in Europe very soon since the competition between food vs. energy prevents further (significant) increase on the current first-generation biofuels already in the market. This ...

Lignocellulosic Ethanol Demonstration (LED)
Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
The global object of the Lignocellulosic Ethanol Demonstration (LED) project is to design, construct and operate the first biofuel commercial facility in Europe using second generation technology, consisting on a lignocellulosic biomass to ethanol plant. The total lignocellulosic biomass input to the process is 522 dry tonne/day, resulting in an ethanol production of 50 MML/yr. In addition it will ...

Sustainable products from economic processing of biomass in highly integrated biorefineries (SUPRA-BIO)
Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jul 31, 2014,
Economic and sustainable production of fuels, chemicals and materials from biomass requires capture of the maximum energy and monetary value from sustainable feedstock. SUPRA-BIO achieves this by focussing on innovative research and development of critical unit operations, by using process intensification to match economic production to the scale of available feedstock and by process integration t ...

Forest biorefineries: Added-value from chemicals and polymers by new integrated separation, fractionation and upgrading technologies (AFORE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2013,
The approach of AFORE project is to develop novel, industrially adaptable and techno-economically viable bio-based solutions for the separation, fractionation, and primary upgrading of green chemicals from forest residues, wood chips, and chemical pulping liquors to be used as starting materials for current and novel value-added applications. It is targeted that by this means European forest and p ...
