The Project
CERESiS - ContaminatEd land Remediation through Energy crops for Soil improvement to liquid biofuel Strategies is a Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme started in November 2020 with a duration of 42 months
In an effort to evaluate the CERESiS concept, we have created an online survey focusing on Key Performance Indicators, such as energetic, environmental, social, and economic. We really believe that your input would make a change and would help us in better evaluating the concept of the project. To take the survey please follow the link.
CERESiS partners organized another physical meeting, this time in Glasgow, hosted by the University of Strathclyde, on 17th and 18th of May. CERESiS being in its last year of research has seen great progress and accomplished significant results. Therefore, the main scope of this meeting was to present the work that has been achieved so far.
CERESiS joint forces with two other Horizon 2020 projects, GOLD and Phy2Climate and co-organized a webinar in phytoremediation. The aim was to bridge the gap between remediation of contaminated land and the production of clean energy by discussing how to determine best energy crops to grow on contaminated land through the presentation of real research data generated from the three projects.
This workshop was part of the activities of the BIKE project and CERESiS, in collaboration with other similar projects, participated to share key findings and outputs and to discuss the production of biomass feedstock with low ILUC risks. The overall aim of the workshop was to gather views and results from a series of ongoing and recent Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe projects, developing solutions to sustainably produce low ILUC risk biomass feedstock for industrial uses.
This Newsletter provides an introduction to project’s pillars with a special focus on the Field Trials (UK, IT, UKR, BR).
The CERESiS consortium partners have met both virtually and physically on November 10th and 11th 2022 at Viterbo, Italy. This meeting was organized and hosted by the University of Tuscia to discuss and communicate the work that has been done so far within the project. The main objective of this meeting was to perform a follow up of the project’s activities and actions up to Month 24 of the project and define the next steps in order to ensure its success.
In the context of the 30th EUBCE Conference, on May 12 (2022), CERESiS organized a policy workshop entitled “Squaring the circle between phytoremediation and biofuel production”.
This newsletter aims to present the progress made in the first 18 months of CERESiS project.
The focus of this first issue is on Regulatory & Legal issues.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement No. 101006717.
