moreProject Ecological assessment of novel logistics concepts for biofuels
Runtime 01/2006 – 12/2008
Biogenic fuels are increasingly relevant in recent times. However, there are considerable potentials available for exploration in addition to the established biofuels derived from oil, sugar and starc
moreProject Optimisation for the sustainable expansion of biogas production and use in Germany
Runtime 11/2005 – 08/2008
Supported by measures like the Renewable Energies Act, the use of biogas has become increasingly relevant in recent years. However, despite the fact that both production and use of biogas are associat
moreProject LCA for Biomass-to-Liquid Fuels: An Environmental In-Depth Assessment
Runtime 01/2004 – 12/2006
At present, BtL (Biomass-to-Liquid) fuels are the subject of various R&D projects on 2nd generation biofuels. However, the state of knowledge on the environmental impacts of BtL fuels is very limited.
