BIALEMA

 Production of Biofuels and its impact on food, energy and the environment.

Description

BIALEMA: RED for the production of Biofuels and its impact on food, energy and the environment. Conducted by Dr. Antonio Francisco Valdes Delgado (CUBAENERGIA).

The NETWORK works to determine, understand and disseminate the impacts of biofuel production on food production, on its net energy effect and the impact on the environment including the aspect of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Objectives

To promote knowledge and disseminate:

  • The food impact of producing fuel instead of food.
  • The impact on Biodiversity form the production of Biofuels.
  • The results of Biofuel production from agro-industrial waste.
  • Effects of the fuel/energy consumed in the production of Biofuels.
  • The impacts on the environment.

Actions

  • Meetings.
  • Expert workshops.
  • Courses/Seminars.
  • Internships.
  • Publications.
  • Dissemination.

BATERURGIA

BATERURGIA

BATERURGIA “research into advanced recycling technologies for obtaining strategic metals from EV batteries”, aims to respond to the challenges posed by the recycling of LIBs and provide knowledge to solve the problems arising from the recovery and selective separation of critical metals to facilitate their use in the manufacture of new batteries or to replace conventional raw materials and introduce them into other production sectors as alternative raw materials.
