ADVanced communicAtions and iNformaTion processing in smArt Grid systEms (ADVANTAGE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
"Smart Grid systems represent a significant new technology to provide more energy efficient power delivery systems that reduce carbon emissions and can handle a mix of energy sources from small scale renewable energy to large power stations. The design and implementation of the smart grid will be very complex, involving a large number of systems, layers and relationships. In order to make the infr ...

Optimized oxidoreductases for medium and large scale industrial biotransformations (INDOX)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
The INDOX proposal on industrial oxidoreductases aims to provide relevant industrial case stories to demonstrate the efficacy of optimized biocatalysts on targeted reactions, and to establish the processes scalability, sustainability and cost-efficiency versus chemical conversion processes. The chemical industry (specialties excluded) is not yet embracing enzymatic oxidation reactions to a signifi ...

New Insulation Material from Recycled Plasterboard Waste (NIMA)
Start date: Jul 6, 2012, End date: Mar 5, 2015,
The goal of a 70% recycling rate of C&D waste by 2020 requires increased recycling of the 3 mil-lion tons of gypsum waste produced in the EU p.a.Where gypsum waste is recycled, available technology allows up to 90% to be returned to the C&D sector as secondary raw material, whereas the remaining fraction, composed of paper and con-taminants, is disposed of, at an economical cost to the recycling b ...

Optimized pre-treatment of fast growing woody and nonwoody Brazilian crops by detailed characterization of chemical changes produced in the lignin-carbohydrate matrix (LIGNODECO)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
Biomass production costs are low in Brazil compared to other parts of the world, due to proper climate and advanced forest and agricultural technologies. The productivities of elephant grass (Pennisetum spp; 30-45 t/ha/yr bone dry) and eucalypt crops (20-30 t/ha/yr bone dry) in Brazil are amongst the world largest, with good perspectives of growing even further. Thus, Brazil presents great potenti ...
