CROPGEN
CROPGEN was a research project funded by the EU's 6th Framework Programme, involving 11 partners in 6 European countries. The concept was based on the use of anaerobic digestion (AD) as a means of producing methane from biomass, including energy crops and agricultural residues. The technology of biochemical methane generation is well established: the research determined how the technology could best be applied to provide a versatile, low-cost, carbon-neutral biofuel in an environmentally sound and sustainable agricultural framework.
