Objective
The proposed project is based on a modular biogas reactor for cellulose-rich materials which provides energy from the use of biogas and fertilisers from the use of the digestate. Biomass can be considered as a strategic resource because not only is it renewable, but it is also available everywhere and can provide products of vital interest to sectors of strong external dependence (i.e. fuel for transportation, electricity, chemicals etc.), and also because it may raise benefits for the environment and for socio-economic development, (particularly in a rural areas). Retention of the rurallandscape Improved operation of biogas plants Use of lignin-containing materials (straw, wood, grass) 7 extension of input materials for anaerobic digestion Closed nutrient cycle by bringing the produced fertilisers back on the fields Less environmental impact by fertilisers Increased use of renewable materials 7 no net gain in carbon dioxide emissions and negligible S02 and N0x emissions compared to fossil fuels Creation of an alternative use for straw since buring of straw is banned in some European countries Reduce reliance upon finite fossil fuels Environmental sustainable production of energy Reduction of soil erosion as ploughing in straw is expensive and very energy intensive and does not always improve soil structure Reduced capital and operation costs Strengthening of farmers 7 sale of products (e.g.fertilisers) can generate an extra income Competitiveness of agricultural sector especially in the accessing countries Creation of employment possibilities especially in rural areas

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
