FREVUE VALIDATING FREIGHT ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN URBAN EUROPE (FREVUE)
Start date: Mar 15, 2013, End date: Sep 14, 2017,
Eight of Europe’s largest cities, will demonstrate that electric vehicles operating “last mile” freight movements in urban centres can offer significant and achievable decarbonisation of the European transport system. Demonstrators will be deployed in Amsterdam, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Milan, Oslo, Rotterdam and Stockholm. The demonstrators have been designed to ensure FREVUE covers the breadth of ...

New tailor-made biopolymers produced from lignocellulosic sugars waste for highly demanding fire-resistant applications (BRIGIT)
Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2016,
BRIGIT aims to develop a cost-competitive and environmentally friendly continuous process to produce biopolymers (polyhydroxybutyrate, PHB, and succinate-based biopolyesters, PBS-Poly-Butylene-Succinate) from waste-derived lignocelullosic sugar feedstock liquor of wood sulphite pulping process based on “in-situ” fermentation process and new fermentation culture technology without alteration of the ...

High Performance, Economical and Sustainable Biocomposite Building Materials (BioBuild)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2015,
The aim of BioBuild is to use biocomposites to reduce the embodied energy in building facade, supporting structure and internal partition systems by at least 50% over current materials with no increase in cost. This will lead to a step change in the use of sustainable, low carbon construction materials, by replacing aluminium, steel, FRP, brick and concrete in buildings.Facades are widely used in ...

Crosstalk Between Nitric and Carbon Monoxide in Suppressing the Pathogenesis of Cerebral Malaria (GASMALARIA)
Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2010,
"Malaria, can lead to the development of cerebral malaria (CM), a lethal syndrome that claims more then one million deaths per year. There is currently no effective treatment against CM. We have shown that the gas carbon monoxide (CO), generated via heme catabolism by heme oxygenase-1, inhibits the onset of CM in mice (1). While not affecting parasitemia per se, CO inhibits all the major pathologi ...
