Details
Project`s acronym: BIOMAN
Project funding type: EU
Project funding source: FP7
Project coordinator: TEKNOLOGISK INSTITUT, Caroline Kragelund Rickers
Coordinator location: Denmark
Coordinator email / Contact form: cakr@teknologisk.dk
Project status: Finished
Total budget: 1849791.73
Additional info
Key research questions include: temperature control and management during pre-treatment, biological inactivation during pre-treatment, post-digestion enzyme treatment on the degassed fiber fraction and the re-injection into the fermentor.
The BIOMAN-project will develop a so-called ”re-injection loop” with combinations of different types of pre-treatment with i.e. enzymes and physical methods, e.g. division into fine particles and ultrasound. The objective of the treatment is to expand the particle surface in the biomass so the gas producing bacteria can start working. The biomass will come from degassed liquid manure from animals or from energy crops.

Assessment
This section contains a brief assessment of the FEFTS described.
There are 3 basic categories: General, Environmental and Socioeconomic assessment.
The purpose of this assessment is to give a quick overview to the potential FEFTS user of its application benefits.
For each question, the Likert scale is used with the following possible answers:
Strongly disagree, Disagree, Neither agree nor disagree (Neutral)/non applicable, Agree, Strongly agree
General
This FEFTS contributes to improve the energy profiles of farming systems:Environmental
The application of this FEFTS directly reduces fossil energy use, in terms of:- Tractors and vehicles fuel consumption
- Fertilizer reduction
- Manure reduction
Socioeconomic
The application of this FEFTS contributes to cost reductions of farming systems:Keep in mind that this assessment is subjective, based on publicly available information.
All registered users are asked to evaluate each FEFTS and when an adequate number of reviews is gathered the results depicted here are updated. Each review is screened in order to avoid malicious practices.
FEFTS providers who do not agree with the assessment results, can send their inquiry to info@agrofossilfree.eu and a direct action based on their petition will be taken.
