Hybrid INDustrial CONstruction through a 3D printing “all-in-one” machine for large-scale advanced manufacturing and building processes (HINDCON)
Start date: Sep 15, 2016, End date: Sep 14, 2019,
"Advanced Manufacturing has been highlighted by the EU as one of the key enablers to support and promotion of business research and innovation in key enabling technologies. Therefore, a number of objectives, aligned with pursuing the large scale targets, have been set for advanced manufacturing through four pillars: technology, economic, social and environment. Thus, HINDCON project aims to adapt ...

Demonstration of a Decision Support System for a Novel Integrated Solution aimed at Water Reuse in the Oil & Gas Industry (INTEGROIL)
Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2019,
The Oil&Gas (O&G) industry is one of the 8 most water-intensive industries; indeed, it could be conceived as a water industry which delivers oil as a by-product. Specifically, by 2020 it is expected that over 500 million barrels/day of produced water (PW) and about 15 million m³/day of refinery wastewater (RW) are generated. Despite the necessity and potential beneficial impacts of reusing the wat ...

NanoBioEngineering of BioInspired BioPolymers (Nano3Bio)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,
The Nano3Bio project convenes a consortium of world renowned experts from 8 EU universities, 1 large company, and 14 SME, to develop biotechnological production systems for nanoformulated chitosans. Chitosans, chitin-derived polysaccharides varying in their degree of polymerisation (DP), degree of acetylation (DA), and pattern of acetylation (PA), are among the most versatile and most promising bi ...

DEvelopment of a System of Indicators for a Resource efficient Europe (DESIRE) (DESIRE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,
"DESIRE will develop and apply an optimal set of indicators to monitor European progress towards resource-efficiency. We propose a combination of time series of environmentally extended input output data (EE IO) and the DPSIR framework to construct the indicator set. Only this approach will use a single data set that allows for consistent construction of resource efficiency indicators capturing th ...

BIOTREATMENT OF DRINKING WATER RESOURCES POLLUTED BY PESTICIDES, PHARMACEUTICALS AND OTHER MICROPOLLUTANTS (BIOTREAT)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
BIOTREAT brings together six research institutions and four SMEs to develop much-needed water treatment biotechnologies for removing pesticides, pharmaceuticals and other organic micropollutants from contaminated drinking water resources. These biotechnologies will be developed into prototype biofilter systems ready for subsequent commercialisation. The biofilters will contain non-pathogenic pollu ...

Compiling and Refining Environmental and Economic Accounts (CREEA) (CREEA)
Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,
The main idea behind this project is to refine and elaborate economic and environmental accounting principles as discussed in the London Group and consolidated in the future SEEA 2012, to test them in practical data gathering, to troubleshoot and refine approaches, and show added value of having such harmonized data available via case studies. This will be done in priority areas mentioned in the c ...

Recognising the challenges faced by SMEs in meeting EU legislative requirements to classify and appropriately manage and dispose of hazardous waste, the project will develop a tool to simplify the identification process for hazardous waste. As no easily accessible guidance on identifying and managing hazardous waste currently exists in Europe, the project will fill a discernible gap in the market. ...
