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 ...

Sustainable products from economic processing of biomass in highly integrated biorefineries (SUPRA-BIO)
Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jul 31, 2014,
Economic and sustainable production of fuels, chemicals and materials from biomass requires capture of the maximum energy and monetary value from sustainable feedstock. SUPRA-BIO achieves this by focussing on innovative research and development of critical unit operations, by using process intensification to match economic production to the scale of available feedstock and by process integration t ...
