New technology and strategy for a large and sustainable deployment of second generation biofuel in rural areas (BABET-REAL5)

Start date: Feb 1, 2016, End date: Jan 31, 2020,

The business model currently under development for second generation ethanol is a replication of the model used for first generation which is plants with massive annual production capacities. Such high production rates require high capital investment and huge amounts of biomasses (250-350,000 tons per year) concentrated in small radius catchment areas to afford transportation costs (50 km). Under ...

Development of a new diagnostic tool using DNA barcoding to identify quarantine organisms in support of plant health (QBOL)

Start date: Mar 21, 2009, End date: Sep 20, 2012,

Development of accurate identification tools for plant pathogens and pests is vital to support European Plant Health Policies. For this project Council Directive 2000/29/EC is important, listing some 275 organisms for which protective measures against introduction into and their spread within the Community needs to be taken. Those threats are now greater than ever because of the increases in the v ...
