This project involves the design, development and demonstration of new technology for the production of 2nd generation biofuels from waste cooking oil. The project began on January 1st, 2010 and will last 3 years. The participants in this project include the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH), the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), the Municipality of Thessaloniki and the Association of Restaurant Owners of Thessaloniki. The total budget of the project is 1.4 million € and it is funded from the LIFE+ Programme of the European Union by 50%.
Scope of this project is the demonstration of an innovative small scale mobile power production unit, for the energy utilization of agricultural residues generated in rural areas (especially Ptolemaida and Florina), where large amounts of biomass wastes are available. This versatile unit will enable the operation close to the place of feedstock origin, minimising transportation and logistic costs. The unit consists of a gasification reactor combined with an internal combustion engine adjusted to work on producer gas for electrical power and heat, achieving high energy and environmental performance. The project began in January, 2010 and is expected to end by the end of 2012. The coordinator of the project is the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh) which is represented by the LAT and LCPPD (Lab of Chemical Process and Plant Design). Participants of the project are the District Heating Company of Ptolemaida (DHCP) and the Union of Agricultural Cooperatives of Amyntaion (UACA). The total budget of the project is 900 k€ and its co-funded (50%) by the LIFE+ Instrument of the EU.
