Alternative models and robust decision-making for future forest management (ALTERFOR)

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

European forests are expected to provide a broad range of ecosystem services (ES). This capacity is however threatened by the uncertainties of climate change, the complex dynamics of evolving global markets and the pressures for increased use of bioenergy. Such challenges cannot be effectively addressed with an uncritical regional or national commitment to traditional forest management models (FMM ...

FRESH - Fully bio based and bio degradable ready meal packaging (FRESH)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2020,

Ready meal trays made from fossil-based (CPET) plastics are an eminent present and increasing environmental issue. When used, CPET trays have to be incinerated or used as landfill. A fully bio-based and biodegradable alterative with equal to better properties would be a game-changer. A full value chain will demonstrate the techno-economical viability (including customer satisfaction) of a 100% bio ...

Efficient forestry by precision planning and management for sustainable environment and cost-competitive bio-based industry (EFFORTE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2019,

EFFORTE draws a red line through critical, cost/benefit driving processes, and environmentally concerns of today´s forestry. Starting with efficient fulfilment of various customer demands the red line goes along efficient utilization of Big Data sources, present knowledge and critical new knowledge foreseen as outcomes from this project.Technical development and mechanization has been a winning co ...

Cost effective lignin-based carbon fibres for innovative light-weight applications (GreenLight)

Start date: Jul 1, 2015, End date: Jun 30, 2019,

The overall objectives are to demonstrate a new biobased, renewable and economically viable carbon fibre (CF) precursor – lignin – produced in Europe with European raw material and to develop conditions for its processing into CF and structural CF composites. The target is a cost-effective biobased CF for use in reinforced composites delivering sufficient enough strength properties for large-volum ...

Demonstrating a new innovative production process of a unique and green substitute for plastic materials (DURAPULP for LIFE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

Background In Europe there are roughly 60 million tonnes of plastics consumed today. Global plastic production increased from 1.5 million tonnes per year from 1950 to 245 million tonnes in 2008, of which 60 million tonnes were produced in the EU. An estimated 66.5 million tonnes of plastic will be placed on the EU market in 2020 (if no action is taken) an ...

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 ...
