Advanced Carbon Materials from Biowaste: Sustainable Pathways to Drive Innovative Green Technologies (GreenCarbon)

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

The energy crisis, environmental pollution and global warming are serious problems that are of great concern throughout the world. Around 40% of the world’s energy consumption is dedicated to the production of materials and chemicals. Thus, there is a need to develop high-performance materials based on renewable resources, simpler to synthesise and cost effective. Carbon materials derived from ren ...

An integrated approach to diversify the genetic base, improve stress resistance, agronomic management and nutritional/processing quality of minor cereal crops for human nutrition in Europe (HealthyMinorCereals)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2018,

Consumers have increasing demands for healthy, nutritious, and innovative food produced sustainably. Minor cereals can address these points, as well as contributing to feed and non-food markets. However, they have been hardly developed as commercial varieties, with no major investment to exploit genetic diversity in breeding programmes, and have low yields. There has been little research to optimi ...

Ensuring quality of waste-derived products to achieve resource efficiency (EQual)

Start date: Sep 12, 2011, End date: Oct 24, 2014,

Background A Quality Protocol (QP) sets out how to recover waste and turn it into a useable product. It defines the point at which waste ceases to be waste and when it can be used again as a regular product (without the need for waste management controls). The UK Environment Agency’s Waste Protocols Project (WPP) established nine end-of-waste QPs, with ...
