THE MICRO ALGAE BIOREFINERY (D-FACTORY)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2017,

The D-Factory aims to set a world benchmark for a sustainable biorefinery based on biomass from halophilic microalgae. Representing the largest (100s ha) of current commercial cultivation technologies for any microalga, Dunaliella microalgal biomass production uses raceways and lakes, and will be expanded with biorefinery concepts by drawing in European innovations in key biomass processing techno ...

Development of a process to generate a novel plant protection product enriched with micronutrients to replace copper in organic viticulture (ProEcoWine)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

We are a Trans-European partnership of 6 SMEs from 5 EU Member States planning to develop a novel bio-fungicide to treat common grapevine fungal diseases. Across Europe, the fungal diseases downy mildew and botrytis cause problems in all vineyards, reduce yield and impair wine quality. Current methods of treating these diseases in traditional farming and particularly organic farming require the u ...
