ADVANCEFUEL
The ADVANCEFUEL project aims to facilitate the commercialisation of advanced renewable transport fuels to contribute to the achievement of the EU’s renewable energy targets, and reduce carbon emissions in the transport sector to 2030 and beyond. ADVANCEFUEL will look into renewable fuels produced from lignocellulosic feedstocks, renewable hydrogen and CO2 streams, and provide market stakeholders with new knowledge, tools, standards and recommendations to help remove barriers to their uptake.

BIOPLAT-EU
The BIOPLAT-EU project will promote and support the uptake of sustainable bioenergy projects on marginal, underutilized and contaminated lands (MUC lands). These lands cannot be used for food production or for recreational and conservation purposes, but in some cases, they still retain the potential to produce biomass for non-food and non-feed purposes. Moreover such use of these lands is not known to stakeholders, therefore the project will promote and inform about such opportunities through a web-based platform which will include a public user friendly tool using global information system that will assess the environmental, social and techno-economic sustainability aspects of defined value chains for bioenergy production on MUC lands and through stakeholder engagement activities.

MAGIC
MAGIC project aims to promote the sustainable development of resource-efficient and economically profitable industrial crops grown on marginal lands. For this purpose, an up-to-date database of existing resource-efficient industrial crops will be developed with information on their agronomic characteristics, input requirements, yield performance and quality traits for end-user applications. In parallel, current and future marginal lands in Europe facing natural constraints will be mapped, characterized and analysed to provide a spatially explicit classification that will serve as a basis for developing sustainable best-practice options for industrial crops. A Decision Support System (DSS) based on MAGIC-CROPS and MAGIC-MAPS is being developed and validated with the active participation of farmers and end-users. The DSS gives them a quick and easy overview of the most productive industrial crops to meet the geological requirements of their soils. The beta release is now available.

Mischar
MisChar project aims to study a the use of the biochar from miscanthus as soil-enriching agent to (1) restore the urban and agricultural soils affected by past industrial activities and (2) reduce mobility and bioavailability of metal trace elements as organic pollutants (phytostabilisation and aided phyto/rhyzodegradation).

SEEMLA
The main objective of the H2020 funded EU project SEEMLA (acronym for “Sustainable exploitation of biomass for bioenergy from marginal lands”) is the establishment of suitable innovative land-use strategies for a sustainable production of plant-based energy on marginal lands while improving general ecosystem services. The use of marginal lands (MagL) could contribute to the mitigation of the fast growing competition between traditional food production and production of renewable bio-resources on arable lands.
