| Project goal/description | The aim of the project BioTech is the development of an improved international project proposal within the framework of the tender announced by Horizon or another international program in the field of climate change and environmental protection. The project application is planned to include activities to develop an innovative technology will be developed for the control of biomass gasification processes, the production of synthesized gas and the improvement of its quality, using MW pre-treatment of biomass pellets of various origins (IPUL). The project foresees involvement of partners from other EU member states with experience in development of alternative innovative technologies for control of biomass gasification, syngas production and its quality. It is expected that the improved project application, which will be created in a frame of the BioTech project, will be an ambitious, multidisciplinary project, the aim of which is to expand experimental research creating science-based and advanced technology for syngas production and its quality control, which will be supported by advanced numerical modelling of gasification dynamics, full life cycle analysis and environmental impact assessment. The total cost of this project is EUR 60000.00, of which EUR 51000 is co-financing from European Economic Area financial instrument and EUR 9000.00 is National co-finding. |
