FOrest RESource Estimation for Energy – FORESEE
Most of the literature and research on Lidar remote sensing in forest was produced in countries with homogeneous forests, simple topography (such as flat land) and small areas. The scientific challenge of this project was thus threefold: to estimate the management variables (height, basal area, volu
Characterization of DIgestate and evaluation of their agronomic VAlorisation – DIVA
To be used as fertilizer or soil improver, digestate must have specific criteria and composition of dry and organic matter, minerals, nutrients etc ... and be free of unwanted compounds (pathogenic microorganisms, phytotoxic compounds, inert, etc.). They must also be stable over time. The great var
Mechanization and optimization of techniques for the production and harvest forest biomass coming from specific cultures – MECABIOFOR
The harvest of biomass, with rotations generally less than 10 years old, is a strategic stake to face an increasing demand for lignocellulosic biomass to be used as energy (bioenergy) or for bio-industrial production (such as green chemistry). These specific forest crops (SRC, VSRC, and SD) will
Production of hydrogen from plant biomass using a combination of light and dark fermentation processes – HYCOFOL_BV
The aim of this project is to propose a bioprocess for the production of hydrogen from wheat straw, an agricultural by-product. The treatment of this biomass releases an effluent rich in pentose and hexose sugars that can be converted biologically into H2 by fermentation. The first stage of the biop
Genetic, metabolic and process optimizations of hydrogen photobioproductino by the green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii – Algo-H2
; ; ; ; The aim of the project is to study the hydrogen bioproduction by using photosynthesis. The model species is the green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, known for its ability to produce hydrogen thanks to a high activity Fe-Fe hydrogenase. This project has for objective to develop scientif
Biomolecules as hydrogen oxidation catalyst in fuel cells – BIOPAC
Most of the hydrogenases are deactivated in the presence of O2. BIOPAC is based on the use of hydrogenases from extremophilic bacteria. These peculiar hydrogenases are able to oxidize H2 in the presence of O2, and are moreover insensitive to CO. Hence they appear as very attractive biocatalysts for
Recycling and valorisation of CO2 in fluidized bed process for steam gasification of biomass – RECO2
ReCO2 project aimed at studying the CO2 recycling into a process of thermochemical conversion of biomass in fluidized bed for BtL (Biomass to Liquid) and SNG (Synthetic Natural Gas) chains. - Detailed objectives : The project aimed at studying the partial or total CO2 recycling in a ligno-cellulos
Improved Gasification for Heat and Power Applications – GAMECO
The multiannual investment program for power generation in France involves the installation of 2300 MWe biomass power plants from 2009 to 2020. In this context, gasification appears to be a promising thermochemical upgrading of lignocellulosic biomass (ie, wood, forest and agricultural by-products,
