Basing on the previous experiences in the projects, consortium members decided that Institute of Mechanised Construction and Rock Mining (IMBiGS) will play a role of Project’s leader. IMBiGS teams has a knowledge and competences both, in running R&D projects and managing projects co-financed with public funds. In addition IMBIGS is a very active in range of commercialization of solutions and technologies developed by R&D departments.
One of the most important project in this field is project entitled „Mobile demonstration line for generation of Renewable ENERGY from micronised biomass” carried out with support of LIFE+ funding (the amount of funding 2 816 056 Euro). The consortium will include the following R&D partners:
- Institute of Power Engineering (IEn) – one of the largest institutes in Poland and Central Europe providing research in the field of energy technologies. Entity focused on the creation of new knowledge in a broad range of energy technologies by scientific research, development and demonstration activities as well as various types of measurements, tests, case studies and expert analysis. The activities and research carried out in the Institute are outcomes of scientific needs and also a direct response to expectations of the energy sector and other industrial sectors.
- Institute of Technology and Life Sciences (ITP) - conducting scientific research and development works in natural sciences and technology – in particular agro-ecosystems, complex technologies in crop production and obtaining energy from renewable sources.
- Warsaw University of Technology (UW) - the biggest and the oldest technical University in Poland. Today one of the leading institutes of technology in Poland, and one of the largest in Central Europe
The consortium will include also partners from industry, which will play a significant role in the project, i.e.:
- Egovita Sp. z o.o.(Egovita) – Technologically oriented company, Beneficiary of the project "Launching the production of micronized bio fuels from renewable raw materials" under the Operational Program Innovative Economy 2007-2013. The partner who will be responsible for implementation of the results of the project.
- Zakłady Urządzeń Kotłowych „Stąporków”(ZUK) – Boiler Manufacturing Company specializes in producing machines and devices for: heat power engineering, heat power industry, sugar factories, cement mills, steelworks and foundries, construction companies
