Biomacromolecules from municipal solid bio-waste fractions and fish waste for high added value applications. (DAFIA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

Municipal solids waste (MSW) are collected by municipalities and represents more than 500 kg/capita (EU-27 average), 300 million tonnes overall every year in the EU-32. Currently, approximately 50% of this volume is landfilled. More than 1.3 million tonnes of Marine rest raw material (MRRM) are generated in Europe each year. Some countries, such as Norway and Denmark, have traditionally for anima ...

Industrial Feather Waste Valorisation for Sustainable KeRatin based MAterials. (KARMA2020)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

According to European Commission, 13.1 million tons of poultry meat was produced only in the European Union (EU-28) in 2014 with an estimated generation of 3.1 million tons feather waste. At present the majority of poultry feathers are converted into low nutritional value animal food or disposed in landfills, causing environmental and health hazards. In this context, the overall objective of KaRMA ...

Smart light collecting system for the efficiency enhancement of solar cells (EPHOCELL)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2013,

The main objective of this project is the study of the various intra and intermolecular energy transfers with the aims to modify the solar spectrum by means of an adequate molecular system. This will permit to improve the similitude between the solar radiation and the absorbance of the photovoltaic materials. This change of spectrum must be realized without significant loss of energy by means of e ...

Integrating Nanomaterials in Formulations (InForm)

Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

A coordination action is proposed to reinforce the international dimension of EU research on nanomaterials in formulations in the Asia-Pasific region. Three mechanism will be implemented to reach the widest possible audience in the appropriate formats that are convenient to the different stakeholders: (1) yearly major events, that will introduce a new concept to scientific gatherings and a departu ...
