Characterization of the genetic and enzymatic potential of biogas microbiomes by meta-analysis of metagenome datasets, subproject 2 - Phylogenetic and functional microbiome meta-analyses (Project)

In anaerobic digestion of biomass, a huge number of microbial species is involved possessing a wide variety of metabolic properties. However, a major part of the species that can be detected in biogas reactors has not been adequately characterized either in terms of its specific substance conversion properties or in terms of its respective ecological role within the microbiological system....

BIMwood – development of Building Information Modelling solutions for project collaboration in the value chain of prefabricated timber architecture (Project)

BIMwood advances the value chain DESIGN AND BUILD WITH WOOD against the background of digital transformation based on Building Information Modelling (BIM) as the key technology in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) with radical impacts on common working methods. The focus is on the progress of methods, tools and acting in prefabricated timber construction improving frictionless...

Preventive container screening of volatile organic substances monitoring invasive pests towards forest protection (Project)

The aim of the project is to develop a prevention strategy in order to control and minimise the spread of invasive plant pests that can be introduced by container loads throughout Germany and the EU. The Asian Longhorn Beetle (ALB) is a major representative of such invasive quarantine pests. The ALB usually finds its way via imported pallet wood. At present, the control is taking place in the...

The suitability of agricultural residues for flexible biogas production (Project)

The aim of the project "Restflex” is to evaluate the suitability of agricultural residues for flexible biogas production. In particular, kinetic data on the degradation behaviour of selected residues that provide information about the specific application potential of agricultural residues will be determined. Furthermore, we will conduct simulation studies to identify optimal application...

Development of a lignin modified binders based on epoxy resins (Project)

The project objective is the development of epoxy resins modified with the renewable raw material lignin. These should have a large lignin content and be comparable to commercial epoxy resins. While the research partner Fraunhofer IAP plays the decisive role in polymer development, Fraunhofer IKTS essentially focuses on the exploration of the potential applications of these modified resins....

ForestValue: Innovative forestry strategies towards a resilient bioecononomy (Project)

The main aim of our project is to improve the scientific basis for developing management strategies that increase resilience of the bioeconomy to future natural disturbances and climate change, while also maintaining a high level of wood production, carbon storage, and habitat quality for biodiversity (Fig. 1). To reach this aim, the project will deliver on the following objectives: - review...

Collective project: Reduction of environmental and climate impacts of agricultural crop production through the use of an optimized topsoil deepening technique (Project)

The adaptation of production means for agricultural production is a key factor in reducing the climate impact of agriculture. The use of arable land is prone to the degradation of humus and carbon stocks in the soil. There is a particular need for action in reducing negative environmental effects, particularly of greenhouse gases, that result from the application of fermentation residues from...

Regional measures for a cost effective reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the cultivation of raw material plants – subproject 2: data analysis and ecological assessment for the amendment of the calculation methodology to derive suitable mitigation measures (Project)

The Federal Government's Climate Action Plan 2050 stipulates that by 2030 greenhouse gas emissions should be reduced between 31 and 34 percent. At the same time, the EU- directive 2016/2284 on national emission ceilings requires a 29% reduction of ammonia emissions by 2030 compared to 2005. To achieve these targets, the development of measures to reduce emissions in the agricultural production of...

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in energy crop production by cultivating winter cover crops and permanent crops (Project)

Cultivation of winter cover crops and of permanent crops offers the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in energy crop production. Eventually, soil carbon sequestration by building up soil organic carbon may even be possible, thereby making an additional contribution to mitigate climate change. The proposed research project TAWIRA will investigate the potential to reduce greenhouse gases...
