Preparation of training materials for proper heating with wood stoves (Project)

As part of the project, a training concept for the correct heating with wood in single-room furnaces (stoves) is to be developed and implemented. Suitable teaching material for the low-emission operation of wood-burning stoves is to be developed for this purpose. This should include advice on the selection of the appropriate furnace and fuel, as well as on low-emission heating operation. Finally,...

DBU Pesticide Support Initiative: Weed suppression in field vegetable production based on a sprayable two-component mulch material made from renewable ressources (Project)

In vegetable cultivation on fields, herbicides are used for weed control. Herbicides can damage ecological systems and are harmful for human health. The research objective is to limit the use of herbicides. As an alternative to the use of chemicals, mechanical options are known, e.g. weed cultivators. Additionally, there are physical methods to prevent weed from growing, as applying mulch film....

Material use of biomass ashes as an element in bioeconomie - project stage 1 (Project)

Biomass ashes are produced as by-products during the combustion of renewable raw materials. The recycling of these ashes offers many opportunities for the Bavarian bioeconomy. In a first phase of the project, the Technologie- und Förderzentrum will raise the current status of ash use in Bavaria, build a network of actors from agriculture and forestry, industry, administration and research and...

Paraffinic diesel fuel from residual and waste materials for climate-friendly management of the Bavarian State Estates, State Forests, State Institutes, TFZ and farms of the correctional facilities for the implementation of the Bavarian climate protection offensive (Project)

Paraffinic diesel fuel made from residual and waste materials according to DIN EN 15940 is considered as sustainable and is approved for many new diesel tractors. Whether it is also suitable for older machines is unknown. The aim of "ParaDies2025" is to investigate whether HVO, which is a paraffinic diesel fuel, can be a sustainable alternative to fossil diesel for the existing vehicle fleets of...

Digestate fertilisation and environmentally friendly conversion methods for cup plant (Project)

Cup plant (Silphium perfoliatum L.) is used as an alternative substrate for biogas production, fertilising the permanent crop with fermentation residues makes sense. Current trials at the TFZ show that the nitrogen utilisation of digestate applications still needs to be improved and further optimisation approaches will be investigated. Initial experience has been gained in the conversion of cup...
