Sustainable production of next generation biofuels from waste streams (WASTE2FUELS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

WASTE2FUELS aims to develop next generation biofuel technologies capable of converting agrofood waste (AFW) streams into high quality biobutanol.Butanol is one of the most promising biofuels due to its superior fuel properties compared to current main biofuels, bioethanol and biodiesel. In addition to its ability to reduce carbon emissions, its higher energy content (almost 30% more than ethanol), ...

On-line industrial water quality analysis system for rapid and accurate detection of pathogens (AQUALITY)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

"Currently the identification and quantification of pollutants in water are mostly carried out manually through sampling and subsequent laboratory analysis (off-line analysis), with methodologies of work that involve some significant costs in terms of displacement to sampling points, reagents and specialized personnel dedicated to the operation, leading to time consuming and economically challengi ...

Biotechnological conversion of carbon containing wastes for eco-efficient production of high added value products (ANIMPOL)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"The applicants propose the development of a sound industrial process that unites the urgently needed solution of industrial waste problems with the creation of essential alternative strategies for polymer industry. This will be done by the biotechnological conversion of waste streams from slaughterhouses, rendering and biodiesel industry towards biodegradable polymeric materials. Slaughterhouse w ...

BIOETHANOL PRODUCTION VIA LIGNOCELLULOSIC FERMENTATION OF OLIVE OIL RESIDUES (ETOILE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2011,

"Bioethanol has been increasingly becoming the renewable energy source that could reduce the oil dependence of the developed countries. Biorefineries can use the locally grown agriculture to produce ethanol. However, food chain supply is beginning to suffer the effects of the ethanol massive production raising major ethical concerns. Cellulosic ethanol can overcome the environmental risks that acc ...
