Profile of Unit of Bioconversion of Crops and Wastes, Estonian University of Life Sciences
- Unit of Bioconversion of Crops and Wastes, Estonian University of Life Sciences
The Unit of Bioconversion of Crops and Wastes is located in the Estonian University of Life Sciences (Eesti Maaülikool) in Tartu, Estonia.
Established in October 2007, the Unit is part of the Institute of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (Põllumajandus- ja keskkonnainstituut). We are an interdisciplinary R&D team associating scientists and personnel from the Institute of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, the Institute of Technology and the Institute of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Sciences.
The research unit participates to the Centre of Renewable Energy of Estonian University of Life Sciences, which was founded in March 2006.Website: http://www.emu-bioconversion.eu
Anaerobic digestion is a proven technology for biogas production and may be used as a tool for energy saving and production. The EMÜ project is part of the general strategy of the “Eesti Maaülikooli Taastuvenergia Keskus” (Center for Renewable Energy). Based on the competences of a new team and on a combined investment to set up a new laboratory, the main goals concerns:
- ANALYSIS of substrates suitable for bioconversion and the prediction of their methanogenic potential
- DEVELOPMENT of basic research in bioconversion of wastes and crops to renewable fuels
- MONITORING of fermentation processes at pilot and full-scale by developing an ICA strategy
- SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL TRAINING of EMÜ scientists and partner organizations
- EXPERT ASSISTANCE for the development of anaerobic digestion at full-scale in Estonia.
