New research platform paves way for future bio-based society
Date:12/21/2011

ive to fuel oil, and we look forward to involving ourselves in the collaboration to develop biofuels tailored to the shipping industry," says Jacob Sterling, Head of Climate and Environment at Maersk Line.

Crops must provide both food and biomass for fuel and chemicals:

However, the increased use of biomass must not lead to intensified competition and a fight for agricultural land. According to the research platform, this will be avoided by turning existing crops into so-called dual-purpose crops, whereby the same crops can be used to produce biomass from stems and leaves, while at the same time yielding the same number of grains.

As part of the research project, the solutions will be tested on a large scale on engines and ships owned by MAN Diesel & Turbo and Maersk.

"The project is not only very technologically promising and holds considerable growth potential; it also represents a chance to establish Danish production and create jobs within the agricultural, industrial and transport sectors. In other words, the platform will take Denmark to the forefront of the development of a bio-based and sustainable economy," continues Professor Claus Felby.

The platform will work closely with the future Copenhagen Plant Science Center.
