1 Research activities on bioeconomy Luigi Pari Unità di Ricerca per l Ingegneria Agraria Via delle Pascolare, Monterotondo (Roma) Tel Fax

2 2 Bioeconomy concept Bioeconomy assist rural development and sustainability, to ensure the long term competiveness of the European agri-forestry, food and chemical sectors, and to mitigate climate changing greenhouse gas emissions. 26/11/2014

3 3 Our working model Research demand from stakeholders PRIVATE Funding bodies Transfer Research activities Knowledge and Prototypes development Dissemination experimental demo center on agroenergies Stakeholders Public and private bodies Scientific community

4 Communication complexity 4 Our Dissemination model (1) - Articles on ISI- JCR journals + Degree of usability Communications and poster at international conferences and workshops Communications and poster at national conferences and workshops Articles on national journals, dissemination on the Web + Demonstration and/or information days, training courses, seminars, guided tours, project reports - Research activity

5 5 Our Dissemination model(2) Visits to Agroenergy Centre Internet Scientific articles Dissemination Workshops - Seminars Demonstration days Fairs 26/11/2014

6 Experimental demo agroenergies center The results of the scientific research activities are transfered also trought the Experimental demo center on agroenergies. The objective is to transfer the technological innovation to the final users, working as linkage between the different stakeholders involved in the agroenergy chain (industries, mechanical enterprices, agricoltural investors, etc.) Downloadable from

7 Ongoing projects Eu Projects Name Topic Jatromed Jatropha curcas L. Optima Fibra Europruning Perennial herbaceous crops Flax, hemp, kenaf, Fruit, vineyard and olive pruning National Projects Name BTT Faesi Suscace Enerbiochem BTT Topic Certification of power plants Agro-energy chain in South Italy Reconversion of the beet-sugar production Sustainable production processes Biosea BIT3G Optimization of the bioenergy chains Biorefinery

8 RA-ING research activities within the bioeconomy concept /biomasse/ Stage of bioenergy chain Propagation mat in nursery Transplanting Harvesting Storage Logistic Agricultural by-products valorization Biomass characterization Transformation Studied species Poplar, arundo, miscanthus Poplar, Arundo, miscanthus Poplar, Eucalipto, Melia, Ash, Oilseed rape, Ethiopian mustard, Arundo, Cardoon, Fiber sorghum, Sweet sorghum Poplar, Arundo, Sweet sorghum Energy crops and residues Pruning, riparial biomasses,agricultual wastes Poplar, Arundo, Cardoon Woody and herbaceous crops

9 Prototypes developed for propagation tillage and planting

10 Prototypes developed for harvesting woody crops

11 Prototypes developed for harvesting herbaceous crops

12 12 Harvesting residues Prunings Stump residues Riparial Arundo Performance evaluation of commercial machines Development of a prototype Analysis of working times and fuel quality Assessment of the operating capacity and the potential yield

13 Storage (1) Several storage trials has been carried out during time in order to identify the best methodologies for preserving the qualitative traits of fuel. Natural drying Covered pile Compacted pile Ventilated heap Stem wood chips Branch wood chips Cuneo 2007 Monterotondo 2013 Ferrara Modena 2009

14 14 Storage (2) 26/11/2014

15 GIS and GPS tools for logistic GIS and GPS tools has been developed to schedule the daily harvesting operation in biomass plantations and to organize the logistic for feedstock handling and transport in function of the machine type and the pedoclimatic conditions.
