Optimised storage integration for the electric car (OSTLER)
Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,
Present-day electric vehicles are typically designed by starting from an existing vehicle platform and designing a storage device (battery pack) to fit the constraints of the existing vehicle. OSTLER is based on the concept of modular storage devices around which an electric vehicle (EV) can be designed. The vehicle designer can select storage capacity to give range in EV mode (e.g. 20 km, 50 km, ...

Development and application of environmental Life Cycle Impact assessment Methods for imProved sustAinability Characterisation of Technologies (LC-IMPACT)
Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2013,
"LC-IMPACT is a 3.5-year project and its main objective is the development and application of life cycle impact assessment methods, characterisation and normalisation factors. Impact from land use, water use, marine, mineral and fossil resource use, ecotoxicity and human toxicity, and a number of non-toxic emission-related impact categories will be considered in LC-IMPACT. First, new impact assess ...

Mediterranean Intermittent River Management (MIRAGE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,
"The implementation of the WFD in catchments with temporary rivers presents a significant challenge for watershed managers. The MIRAGE project will, for the first time, comprehensively investigate the applicability of specific management options under the characteristic flush and drought conditions of temporary streams. Through investigations in seven basins, MIRAGE will provide a framework for ma ...

Biomass, remediation, re-generation: Re-using brownfields sites for renewable energy crops. (BioReGen)
Start date: Dec 1, 2005, End date: Apr 30, 2010,
Background
Across Europe, increasing quantities of former industrial land are left abandoned, creating so-called âbrownfieldâ sites. Estimates suggest a vast supply of this brownfield land exists across Europe, perhaps as much as 2-4 million ha.
These are typically available for potential re-development, however they are often contaminated by metals, ...
