Small Wind Turbine for Urban Environments (WINDUR)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2016,
As SMEs in the supply chain of small Wind Turbines (WTs), we have identified an excellent opportunity in the urban submarket. The Small Wind market mainly corresponds to turbines installed in rural and isolated areas. Nevertheless, Urban is by far the largest potential market, as 80% of European population lives in cities and the EU Directive 2010/31/EU on Energy Performance of Buildings requires ...

Production of Solid Sustainable Energy Carriers from Biomass by Means of Torrefaction (SECTOR)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2015,
Torrefaction is considered worldwide as a promising key technology for boosting large-scale implementation of bioenergy. It involves heating biomass in the absence of oxygen to a temperature of 200 to 320 °C. As a result, the biomass looses all its moisture and becomes easy to grind and water resistant, which reduces the risk of spontaneous ignition and biological degradation and permits outdoor s ...
