Objectives
- Produce 2nd AND 3nd generation biomasses avoiding conflict with food production.
- Boost technological innovation for energy production to reduce costs, increase crop production for biomass conversion and raise economic return.
- Use waste from energy/biofuel production processes (treatment residues, i.e. CO2 from biomethane and nutrients from digestates) to produce 3rd generation biomass (microalgae).
- Use anaerobic digestion as pre-treatment for the isolation of lignin residues to produce bioplastics and high added value chemicals from 3rd generation biomass.
- Establish a recognized research team for the development of bio-refinery in the Lombardy region.
