The aim of the Horizon 2020-funded 'Sustainable exploitation of biomass for bioenergy from marginal lands in Europe' (SEEMLA) project is the reliable and sustainable exploitation of biomass from marginal lands (MagL), which are used neither for food nor feed production and are not posing an environmental thread. The project will focus on three main objectives: (i) the promotion of re-conversion of MagLs for the production of bioenergy through the direct involvement of farmers and forester, (ii) the strengthening of local small scale supply chains, and (iii) the promotion of plantations of bioenergy plants on MagLs. The expected impacts are: Increasing the production of bioenergy, famers’ incomes, investments in new technologies and the design of new policy measures. FNR will coordinate the project with its eight partners from Ukraine, Greece, Italy and others from Germany.
