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 ...

Control of Light Use Efficiency in Plants and Algae - From Light to Harvest (HARVEST)
Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
"Photoprotection against excess absorbed light energy is an essential and universal attribute of oxygenic photosynthetic organisms. This requirement has been a strong force in the evolution of plants and micro-organisms, and a diverse range of solutions have arisen. It has determined survival, productivity and habitat preference, and it determines the ceiling on the efficiency of energy conversion ...

"LOW-COST, HAND-HELD, AND NON-INVASIVE OPTICAL SENSOR FOR MULTIPARAMETRIC FIELD ANALYSIS OF GRAPES AND LEAVES IN VINEYARDS" (PREMIVM)
Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
"In August 2009 was fully implemented the reform of the Common Market Organization for wine (CR Nº479/2008, 29-04-2008). It aims at reducing the 24 million hl/year surplus of basic low quality wine, phasing out the €500 million/year spent on wine disposal subsidies and making EU wine more competitive. This reform, together with other market constraints will endanger all EU winegrowing SMEs. To sur ...

"Development of an innovative, completely automated antifouling test system for professional examinations of marine coatings" (IATS)
Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2013,
"Scientists try to develop coatings that prevent of fouling. Development of new coating formulation takes 5 years, beginning from R&D study to the date of launching. Taking into account the marine market development and the change of low requirements connected to the environmental issues this time is too long. Formulation time distances depend mainly on testing. In Europe the only method is testin ...

PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS: Automated Tools to Measure Primary Productivity in European Seas. A New Autonomous Monitoring Tool to Measure the Primary Production of Major European Seas (PROTOOL)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
"PROTOOL stands for PROductivity TOOLs: Automated Tools to Measure Primary Productivity in European Seas. The project will develop and adapt sensor technologies to measure primary production of phytoplankton with automated optical techniques, so that they can be placed on ships of opportunity (SOOP, ferries, container ships). The complete PROTOOL Measuring Device will consist of (1) a fluorometer ...

Development of an Innovative Industrial Bioreacting and Fermentation Process producing an Organic Insect Repellent-Fertilizer for Ecological farming (EcoBug)
Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2012,
Our idea is to develop an “all-in-one” organic smell-free fertilizer and insecticide to increase yield of eco-crops, reduce costs, and reduce emissions to air & water that are common while using inorganic pesticides and fertilizers or fresh manure. The production of smell free fertilizer will be based on anaerobic fermenting of manure in a bioreactor. The insecticide production will be based on gr ...
