BIOWAYS Events

ISAAC final conference

12 June


On 12/06/2018, the Italian Partner FVA has been invited to present the BIOWAYS project during the ISAAC project final conference.
On tuesday, June 12, hosted by CNR in Rome, took place the final conference of the ISAAC project, sharing interesting insights on the topics of biogas and biomethane.


ISAAC – Increasing Social Awareness and ACceptance of biogas and biomethane, is a project financed by Horizon 2020 Programme, whose main aim is to remove non-technical barriers, such as lack of public acceptance and coordination for the biogas facilities diffusion, normative and legislative inadequacies, in order to support biogas/biomethane market penetration in Italy and make plants implementation easier within the national context.


The results achieved will be presented during the conference by the project partners: AzzeroCO2 as coordinator, Legambiente, the CNR with two institutes (Institute on Atmospheric Pollution and Institute on Sustainable Economic Growth), Chimica Verde Bionet and the Italian Biogas Consortium.
An all-Italian partnership for a problem linked to the national context: the difficulties of social acceptance of biogas, in fact, are not reflected in other European communities, where plants are favorably viewed by local populations, considering the low environmental impact and economic return for the reference territory.


FVA new media research, during the round table focused on the impact that European projects have on the bioeconomy, presented the BIOWAYS and BIOVOICES projects and the European Bioeconomy Network (EuBioNet), a new proactive alliance of EU funded projects dealing with Bioeconomy promotion , communication and support.
Insights and recommendations from both ISAAC and BIOWAYS present similarities and could contribute to raise awareness on bioeconomy and address the concerns of consumers.
