PREPARATORY RESEARCH

PROJECT BACKGROUND

OBJECTIVES

Beyond FP6 PROTECTOR research towards market penetration.

The PROTECTOR core actions are innovative technology and product applications using organic waste/by-product recycled materials by advanced thermal and biotechnological recycling, which matching international products' standards, advanced design requirements and high quality consumer needs. The first application and further market uptake of the PROTECTOR best eco-innovative technique is also an "hardware" type new recycling installation and infrastructure investment, which system is already have been technically demonstrated with success in the EU FP6 514082 RTD programme, but have not yet penetrated the market.

The PROTECTOR technology has been developed under the EU FP5 (2002-2005) and FP6 (2005-2008) RTD Framework Programme, uniting past decades of scientific advancements in the subject of biochar and soil science and international cooperation in nine countries, including SE, HU, DE, NL, FR, IT, IL, ES and the UK. Extensive international cooperation developed, all in order to test PROTECTOR methods and products under different climatic and soil conditions. The PROTECTOR technology has already been successfully technically demonstrated but not yet penetrated the market. The FP6 program innovation results at significant and demonstrable progress towards the goal of sustainable development, through reducing environmental impacts and achieved a more efficient and responsible use of natural resources, including energy. Preparatory researches and results in the PROTECTOR FP6 RTD program (Contract number: Food-2005-514082).
