|
Laboratories/Facilities |
The Laboratory for Biofuel Quality Certification, CABIO, accredited by the Romanian Accreditation Association, RENAR with the Accreditation Certificate No. 352-LI/22.07.2009 in agreement with the requests of the SR EN ISO/CEI 17025:2005 Standard (analyses according SR EN 14214 and SR EN 15376) / small capacity pilot plant to obtain biofuels from raw and used vegetable oils; small capacity pilot plant to obtain bioethanol from sugar beet; small capacity plant to obtain biogas from biogenic wastes |
|
Technology expertise |
- technologies for biofuels obtaining (biodiesel, bioethanol, biogas) from biomass (1st + 2nd generation biofuels) - technologies for biogas from biogenic wastes - biofuels quality certification (biodiesel and bioethanol) - environmental impact of biofuels production and use |
|
Main research topics |
¨modern, non-pollutant, cost-efficient technologies for biofuels obtaining ¨efficient methods and solutions to turn into good account the secondary products resulted from biofuels obtaining process; ¨methods to certify the quality of delivered biofuels, beginning with “the raw (starting) material” until delivery; ¨identify the technical, organizational, economic and institutional possibilities in order to replace/substitute classical fuels with biofuels ¨find the best promoting methods for biofuels utilization/implementation on large scale¨environmental impact of different technologies |
