The European Research Infrastructure for Thermochemical Biomass Conversion (BRISK)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
Enhancing biomass utilization without risking its sustainability is a European energy priority, and can be linked to targets for curbing greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2020 and 50% by 2050: enhanced energy security and integration with other industrial sectors, such as agriculture, also play a role. Improved use of biofuels and products in advanced biomass conversion units and biorefineries ar ...

Engine and turbine combustion of bioliquids for combined heat and power production (Bioliquids-CHP)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,
The combustion of plant oils in diesel engines, whether or not after esterification to “biodiesel”, is possible but for the future less desirable because they are derived from food crops (first generation biofuels). Fast pyrolysis liquids derived from ligno-cellulosic materials (second generation biofuel type), are superior in terms of sustainability. Combustion in prime movers like turbines or en ...
