Adaptive Management of Barriers in European Rivers (AMBER)
Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2020,
Rivers rank among some of the most threatened ecosystems in the world, and are the focus of costly restoration programmes that cost billions to taxpayers. Much of Europe depends on water from rivers for drinking, food production, and the generation of hydropower, which is essential for meeting the EU renewable energy target. Yet only half the EU surface waters have met the WFD’s 2015 target of goo ...

A Toolbox for Offshore Wind Farm Cluster Design (CLUSTERDESIGN)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2016,
Today, an offshore wind farm is merely a collection of wind turbines where the components of an offshore wind farm cluster are optimized but not the overall cluster. In the future, the best-performing wind farms will be designed with an integrated approach. For this purpose, design tools for offshore wind farm clusters must then yield for the overall optimum. This means they must integrate the clu ...

Production of Solid Sustainable Energy Carriers from Biomass by Means of Torrefaction (SECTOR)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2015,
Torrefaction is considered worldwide as a promising key technology for boosting large-scale implementation of bioenergy. It involves heating biomass in the absence of oxygen to a temperature of 200 to 320 °C. As a result, the biomass looses all its moisture and becomes easy to grind and water resistant, which reduces the risk of spontaneous ignition and biological degradation and permits outdoor s ...
