The objective of the project was to assess the feasibility of
establishing year round production of energy crops for production of
bio-fuels. Four annually harvested perennial crops - arundo, cynara,
switchgrass and miscanthus - were being grown in four southern European
countries and their performance in combustion, gasification and
pyrolysis processes was being examined. There were supporting studies
on technical feasibility, economic viability through modelling and life
cycle and environmental impact studies. This project was completed
at the end of November 2005.
