Multipurpose hemp for industrial bioproducts and biomass (MULTIHEMP)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2017,
Hemp is a sustainable high yielding crop well adapted to most European conditions, with advantageous environmental and agronomical characteristics. Traditionally cultivated for the fibres, seeds and psychoactive substances, it is now considered an ideal crop to produce innovative biomaterials. Once a key industrial crop for fibre, hemp production declined in the last century and was displaced by c ...

Development and implementation of a new, and non existent, logistics chain for biomass from pruning (EuroPruning)
Start date: Apr 15, 2013, End date: Jul 14, 2016,
Agricultural residues could represent a good source of biomass to convert into energy in particular wherever it is impractical to convert cropland to energy crop cultivation . According to FAO’s reportage (1997) , large quantities of ligneous biomass can be obtained from pruning operations carried out in Mediterranean fruit plantations. Agricultural residues therefore play an important role in any ...

Agriculture and Energy Efficiency (AGREE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2013,
"Until now energy efficiency in agriculture has received little attention, except for energy use in greenhouses. Nevertheless, it is considerable, especially when indirect energy use is taken into account. AGREE has the objective of showing the potential of short term energy efficiency gains and the promise of the long term potential. Environmental effects of savings on direct and indirect energy ...
