The utilisation and development of environmentally friendly technologies are key factors for the achievement of the ambitious aims of the EU to increase the share of renewable energies. The energetic utilisation of biomass has an important role, as in…
The Blue Chain - De Blauwe Keten
Greenhouse horticulture is under pressure from rising costs and increasing global competition. Flanders and the Netherlands have therefore adopted a policy of supporting greenhouse horticulture in order to achieve the necessary…
ARBOR
Objectives
Foster transregional knowledge sharing to exploit the biomass potential of both the rural and the industrialised North West European (NWE) regions through promotion of best practice examples.
Reduce territorial disparities in regulations and…
Graskracht
Verge and natural clippings are not produced on agricultural land. They are therefore not cultivated energy crops that compete with food production for the agricultural area. This makes the fermentation of natural and roadside cuttings socially and…
Biogas Action
The project’s purpose is to serve as a vehicle for a rapid development of the European biogas/biomethane sector. This undertaking will contribute to the EU 2020 targets, by focusing on the removal of non-technical barriers to the widespread…
AgroCycle
AgroCycle is a ca. €8 million (ca. €7 million from the European Commission, ca. €1 million from the Government of The People’s Republic of China) Horizon 2020 research and innovation project addressing the recycling and valorisation of waste from the…
Pilots4U
A key challenge for the bio-economy is to bring newly developed molecules and techniques from the lab to the market. The main bottleneck in the innovation chain is the step from technology development to deployment. This step has to be performed first in…
TransBio
Despite its high added value, anaerobic digestion in Flanders as a base technology still has a high investment and operating cost and is dependent on financial support for renewable energy technologies. TransBio wants to optimize the baseline business…
BIO4PRODUCTS
The innovative approach of Bio4Products is to apply a short thermal treatment (fast pyrolysis) at elevated temperature enabling the fractionation of the bio-resource, but keeping the key chemical functionalities in separate, depolymerised fractions.…
Circular Agronomics
Along 7 work packages and 6 case-studies, representing locations with different biogeographic conditions and environmental challenges typical for the European agricultural sector, the objective of CA is to contribute to a development towards…
