Infrastructure for Sharing Knowledge II (BRISK II)

The overarching objective and vision of BRISK II is to establish a centre of excellence in the field of 2nd and 3rd generation biofuels via the uniting of leading European research infrastructures. Through an integrated approach the entire value chain is represented: from the first preparation of the biomass feedstock, to conversion, then treatment and finally through to efficient utilization. Traditional and novel biogenic sources including marine biomass are in focus for user-driven investigations with a wide spectrum of powerful and, in many cases, unique laboratory-based and pilot-scale equipment. Activities will serve to strengthen academia-industry cooperation, spurring innovation towards the advancement of fundamental and applied research in thermochemical and biochemical biomass conversion and biorefinery.

Background

European researchers need effective and convenient access to the best research infrastructures in order to conduct research for the advancement of knowledge and technology. The aim is to bring together, integrate on European scale, and open up key national and regional research infrastructures to all European researchers, from both academia and industry, ensuring their optimal use and joint development.

Aim and objectives

Strategic objectives of the project are centered on leveraging existing research infrastructures for the consolidation and sharing of knowledge with the European and international biofuels research communities. In this way national and regional initiatives can be channeled for achieving joint goals as described in the SET-Plan and other strategic roadmaps. Strong links and outreach with European-based universities, research institutes, and companies/SME’s ensure complete coverage of the knowledge triangle – education, research, and innovation – promoting economic growth and job creation in biofuels. Generated data will be openly available for exploitation, and existing system-level modelling tools will be improved for analyses in technoeconomic, environmental, and policy aspects of advanced biofuels and their applications.

Outcomes

Case studies of performed transnational access are available on BRISK II website
