EU Projects

 

4biomass project (finished)

fosters usage of bioenergy throughout Central Europe (CE) via turning know-how to show-how.

 

Biogasheat

Development of sustainable heat markets for biogas plants in Europe

 

BioWALK4Biofuels

aims to develop a cost-efficient solution that uses biowaste as a feedstock for the production of 2nd generation biofuels, using macroalgae as a catalyst.

 

SEBE

aims at coordinated further development of decentralized biogas utilization and technology and transnational competence knowledge centre.

 

GERONIMO II - biogas

aims to unlock the potential that biogas can offer as an effective and environmentally friendly means of managing manure.

 

BiogasHEAT

How to efficiently use the heat from biogas plants and development of sustainable heat markets.

 

Bio-methane Regions

facilitation of new AD plants and bio-methane production through the provision of independent advice to potential developers, regulators and politicians

 

BIOGASMAX

support of biogas as vehicle fuel

 

BiogasIN (finished)

targeting high administrative barriers both in permitting and financing phases

 

Urban Biogas

promotion of using organic urban waste for biogas production in 5 European cities in order to inject biomethane into the natural gas grid and to use it in transport.

 

BIOMASTER

creation of local and national networks for biomethane in transport

 

Agri for Energy II (finished)

connecting supply & demand side stakeholders and fostering new bioenergy businesses in three specific sectors: biomass heating, pure vegetable oil and biogas/biomethane.

 

BioEnergy Farm

encouraging farmers, foresters and land-owners to take into consideration bioenergy use and production.

 

BioGrace II

harmonisation of calculations of biofuel greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

 

RES4Less (finished)

development of a Roadmap to a cost effective deployment of RES in the period up to 2020 and 2030 by making use of cross-border cooperation mechanisms

 

RES legal

a professionally edited collection of important legal sources on support schemes and grid issues in the EU's 27 Member States

 

CA-RES

Concerted Action on the Renewable Energy Sources Directive (CA-RES) to support the implementation of the RES Directive (2009/28/EC)
