New production methods for renewable resources through soil remediation of disused industrial premises
Abstract
Phytotechnologies will, in addition to remediating the soil, also significantly contribute to the need for increased biomass production, which has been a matter of political debate for several years and has been stressed in several publications of the European Commission (e.g. Biomass Action Plan [COM(2005) 628 final – Official Journal C 49 of 28.02.2005]; An EU Strategy for Biofuels [COM(2006) 34 final - Official Journal C 67 of 18 March 2006], Renewable energy: a major player in the European energy market [COM/2012/271]). Renewable perennial biomass is the key to substitute fossil fuels and to provide raw materials industrial use. Due to the increasing need for biomass, the demand for land, which is suitable for biomass production, has increased. The emergence of eco-innovative phytotechnologies will contribute towards achieving EU targets for renewable energy sources (EU directive 2009/28/EC) and reducing the diversion of EU croplands to biofuel production.
