A new paper released in March 2021 by a group of experts, and led by the BIKE partner Imperial College London, points out challenges and opportunities associated with advanced biofuels. From the abstract: Advanced biofuels are among the available
Agriculture and traffic are among the largest sources of GHG emission with 12% and 14% respectively of global emission. Any process to reduce emission from the two sources is actually an urgent need. Biofuels and agriculture are naturally
BIKE is a new Horizon 2020 project to support the market uptake of safe and reliable biomass value chains, based on improved farming practices, as well as on the cultivation of crops on abandoned and degraded land, that can deliver food, feed, fuels and materials with low risk of generating indirect land use changes.
On the 19th of November, the Wageningen University and Research (partner of the BIKE project) organised an online webinar named “Land for biomass, energy and other non-food services in the EU” together with the Institute of European Environmental Policy (IEEP) and the company Navigant.
Climate positive fuels is a concept developed by the BIKE partner UPM which addresses the issues of carbon sequestration, soil health and biomass production by using specific agricultural practices.
