PROGRASS: Securing the Conservation of NATURA Grassland Habitats With a Distributed Bioenergy Production
NATURA rohumaade koosluste säilimise tagamine läbi bioenergia hajustootmise
Objectives
The University of Kassel developed a technological and process orientated approach (PROGRASS) to produce bio-energy (electricity and solid fuel) also from mature grasslands.
PROGRASS will combine state of the art technology in a sustainable approach to gain bioenergy from a substrate which could not be used with conventional technology. As demonstration project PROGRASS will be introduced in 3 model regions in protected NATURA habitats to prepare the ground for a large scale European wide transfer.
Objectives
Kasseli Ülikool töötas välja tehnoloogilise ja protsessile orienteeritud kontseptsiooni (PROGRASS) tootmaks bioenergiat (elektrienergiat ja tahket kütust) looduslike rohumaade biomassist.
PROGRASS kombineerib olemasoleva tehnoloogilise teadmise säästlikumaks võimaluseks toota bioenergiat materjalist, mille puhul tavapärast tehnoloogiat kasutada ei saa. PROGRASSi näidisprojekti tutvustatakse kolme piirkonna NATURA elupaikades valmistades ette selle tehnoloogia üle-Euroopalist kasutamist.

The PROGRASS approach will be applied in an interdisciplinary approach in a transnational partnership of 4 Research Institutes, a regional Government, the Environmental Ministry of the German State of Hesse, an Industrial Partner and an Education Agency.

PROGRASSi valdkondadeülest ideed rakendatakse rahvusvahelises koostöös, kuhu on kaasatud 4 uurimisinstituuti, kohalik omavalitsus, Hesse Liidumaa Keskkonnaministeerium, tööstuspartner ja koolituskeskus.
