Developing small-scale biomethane upgrading technologies? Join this network…

We would like to make our AD Network members aware of the European Horizon2020 research project called „Record Biomap“ who are looking for companies and institutions who develop innovative technology and process solutions for an efficient and economically viable biomethane production at small to medium scale (<250 m³ raw gas/h). They are considering not only biogas upgrading to biomethane, but also innovative solutions in the field of substrate pre-treatment and digestion.
They are are particularly looking for those technologies which are still under development (TRL 3–7 technology readiness level). The project aims to build up a knowledge transfer platform to bridge the gap between science and market. The platform also aims to give developers the opportunity to promote their own technologies and to find other stakeholders for new project concepts and cooperation. Part of the project is to develop an interactive map of Europe, The Biomethane Map – see: https://biomethane-map.eu/Biomethane-Map.70.0.html).
 
Participation in the network is free, and as a member, partaking in the knowledge transfer workshops is also free. We believe that this it’s a good opportunity for companies and institutions to present their solutions to a very wide audience and at the same time learn about the latest solutions in the field of biogas and biomethane. 
At a glance – Participation in the network will give the following advantages to the relevant technologies developers:
  • The institution / company will be presented in the Biomethane Map
  • Information and invitation to workshops and further events for knowledge transfer
  • Information about relevant research funding programmes or calls
  • Development of new project concepts
  • New contacts and networking opportunities
  • Regular research newsletter
To become part of the network, technology developers need only to follow the link to download the forms to be filled (company profile + technology description): https://biomethane-map.eu/Biomethane-Map.70.0.html
If you have any questions about the project, please do not hesitate to contact them at info@biomethane-map.eu
 

EC Horizon 2020 call: greening the economy. Apply now, closes 7 Mar 17.

The European Commission invites proposals for its H2020-SC5-2017 Greening the economy – single stage call which closes 7 Mar 17.

Proposals may address the following topics:

  • climate services, including SC5-01-2017 exploiting the added value of climate services, SC5-02-2017 integrated European regional modelling and climate prediction system and SC5-04-2017 towards a robust and comprehensive greenhouse gas verification system
  • towards a low-carbon Europe, including SC5-06-2016 pathways towards the decarbonisation and resilience of the European economy in the timeframe 2030-2015 and beyond
  • raw materials, including SC5-13-2017 new solutions for sustainable production of raw materials
  • earth observation, including SC5-18-2017 novel in-sit observation systems
  • nature-based solutions for territorial resilience, including SC5-32-2017 biodiversity scenarios
  • water, including SC5-33-2017 closing the water gap

The indicative budget for this call is €124 million. See the H2020 Participant Portal: http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/opportunities/h2020/index.html, under the ‘Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials’ work programme (Societal Challenges Pillar).
