EXCITING EU PROJECTS LAUNCHES 
Powering a Greener Future for Aviation and Marine Transport FUEL-UP Project
FUEL-UP is a new EU Horizon funded project, launched on 1 January 2024, aimed at transforming biogenic waste into advanced biofuels to enable the green transition and de-fossilize the aviation and marine transport sectors.
The project's partners met in Brussels last 6-7 February for the kick-off meeting.
ETA-Florence Renewable Energies is the proud leader for the dissemination, communication and exploitation activities for this project.

Connecting Forestry and Agroforestry Partnerships across Europe: Operational Groups in FOREST4EU Project
FOREST4EU project has recently developed an Operational Groups Map, showing an overview of the main active groups in the project's partner countries, together with a short description and a classification per ITHubs. The main aim of this map is to cross national borders, and disseminate innovations and best practices of local Operational Groups at European level. In addition, the project has recently published its first project newsletter and a video interview to Dr. Francisco Javier Casado Hebrard from Steinbeis Europa Zentrum showcasing the main results and activities performed during the first year of FOREST4EU.

Biomethane Production Routes in the EU:  GreenMeUp Project Article 
Europe is set to produce 35 bcm of biomethane by 2030. This will help decarbonize the power, buildings, industry and transport sectors, and reduce EU's energy dependence on third countries. GreenMeUp project has just released a report on production routes for biogas and biomethane in Europe from anaerobic digestion. The analysis shows that feedstock usage for biomethane production is extremely varied and includes multiple types of agri-residues and waste.
