WASTE STREAMS TREATMENT FOR OBTAINING SAFE RECLAIMED WATER AND BIOMETHANE FOR TRANSPORT SECTOR TO MITIGATE GHG EMISSIONS (LIFE METHAmorphosis)
Start date: Jul 16, 2015, End date: Jun 30, 2019,
Background
Transport is one of the main causes of diffuse greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, established by the Kyoto Protocol, with about one third of anthropogenic emissions. The study of new technologies to mitigate emissions from the transport sector is of high strategic value to achieving the objectives of the European Union, within the framework of int ...

Membrane for ENERGY and WATER RECOVERY (LIFE MEMORY)
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2018,
Background
More than 500 million people in Europe generate around 27 billion m³ of municipal wastewater each year. Municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) consume large amounts of energy. For example, WWTPs in Germany use around 4400 GWh/year, the equivalent to roughly 1% of the countryâs total net electricity consumption per year.
Currently, mo ...

Industrial scale demonstration of sustainable algae cultures for biofuel production (ALL-GAS)
Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2016,
This project will demonstrate on large scale the sustainable production of bio-fuels based on low-cost microalgae cultures. The full chain of processes from algal ponds to biomass separation, processing for oil and other chemicals extraction, and downstream biofuel production, as well as the use in vehicles, will be implemented on a 10 ha site.Depending on the methodology chosen during the researc ...

High algal recovery using a Salsnes Water to Algae Treatment (SWAT) filter technology (Operation SWAT)
Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2013,
Microalgae has been researched and cultivated commercially for human and animal nutrition, for cosmetics and pharmaceutical applications, for biofuels and biomass production, for wastewater treatment and to some extent for greenhouse gas abatement. The production for the microalgal biomass market today alone generates a turnover of 1.25 billion US$ per year (0.94 billion €/yr) while the total alga ...
