Sustainable fuel production by aqueous phase reforming – understanding catalysis and hydrothermal stability of carbon supported noble metals (SUSFUELCAT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Biomass conversion is of high priority for sustainable fuel production, to reduce the reliance of Europe on fossil fuel production and to provide environmentally friendly energy. Aqueous phase reforming (APR) is one of the most promising, competitive ways for the production of liquid and gaseous fuels from biomass, since it is low energy consuming. APR enables processing of wet biomass resources w ...

Optimizing Miscanthus Biomass Production - OPTIMISC (OPTIMISC)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Miscanthus is a C4 perennial rhizomatous grass that has become a leading candidate crop for production of lignocellulosic feedstocks due to its rapid biomass accumulation in temperate climates. There is currently a single commercial clone, M. x giganteus, which has a number of limitations. Research over the past 20 years has shown that a few key species and their interspecific hybrids have a high ...

NPlast - A neuroscience school that aims to preserve and restore neuroplasticity in brain disorders (NPLAST)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Brain disorders impose an increasing economical and social burden in the member states of the European Union (EU). For most neurodegenerative diseases and many neuropsychiatric disorders no efficient treatment is available and no cure exists. In the next coming years the number of particularly elderly people suffering from brain disorders will tremendously increase. Predictions from the turn of th ...

Multiscale reinforcement of semi-crystalline thermoplastic sheets and honeycombs (M-RECT)

Start date: Apr 15, 2010, End date: Apr 14, 2014,

The M-RECT project aims to create multiscale-reinforced semi-crystalline thermoplastics (PEEK and PPS), which will outperform all reinforced polymers in terms of strength, stiffness, creep and mainly damping by upscaling and further developing state of the art production methods, within cost-efficient manufacturing routes. The envisaged multiscale reinforcement will comprise of dispersed straighte ...

A specific support action to investigate the risk benefit analysis for foods (BRAFO)

Start date: Sep 1, 2007, End date: Dec 31, 2010,

The aim is to develop a framework that allows quantitative comparison of human health risks and benefits of foods and food compounds based on a common scale of measurement. This will be based on the evaluation of changes in the quality/duration of life using a system that allows weighting of data quality and severity of effect, with quantification by QALY or DALY-like methodology. The framework wi ...
