CF is the process of changing agricultural practices to increase the amount of carbon stored in the soil, or to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from livestock. It has huge potential but is still underused in central Europe. The Carbon Farming – CE project wants to change this and make regions more familiar with the concept. The partnerhip adapts and tests various techniques and business models and develops a monitoring tool for transnational, standardised carbon sequestration.
The Safe Food project brings an innovative approach for people with food allergies or intolerances, by developing and preparing tailor-made meals from allergen-free ingredients.We guarantee that none of the listed allergens will be used or even placed in the Safe Food Lab. These allergens are: gluten-containing cereals, Crustaceans, Eggs, Peanuts, Peanuts, Soy, Dairy and dairy products, Nuts, Sesame, Sulphur dioxide, Lupine, Shellfish.
The MASUDEM project aims to drive sustainable development and job creation in Indonesia and Thailand (Region 5) by developing and enhancing the curricula and capacities of academic and administrative staff at partner universities in these countries.
Európsky týždeň mobility
Location: Senec, Slovakia
Mesto Senec sa tento rok prvýkrát zapája do Európskej kampane na podporu udržateľnej mestskej mobility s názvom Európsky týždeň mobility, ktorý sa každoročne koná od roku 2002.
Témou tohto ročníka je „čistá, zdieľaná a inteligentná mobilita“. Propaguje riešenia zdieľanej mobility a zdôrazňuje výhody ekologickejších spôsobov dopravy. Mesto Senec sa do kampane zapojí organizovaním viacerých aktivít 22. Septembra 2017, ktorý je známy súčasne aj ako Deň bez áut.
Vyzývame všetkých, aby sa v rámci svojich možností pridali k zamestnancom Mestského úradu a v tento deň prispeli k čistote ovzdušia nášho mesta a jeho okolia aj tým, že svoje motorové vozidlá nechajú doma a na prepravu do zamestnania a školy zvolia ekologickejší spôsob dopravy ako bicykel, mestskú autobusovú dopravu (MAD) alebo pešiu chôdzu a pod..
Súčasne Vás pozývame na akcie Mesta Senec organizované v spolupráci s OZ No Gravity, RRA Senec – Pezinok a Žilinskou univerzitou (ŽU), ktoré sa budú konať v piatok od 14,00 do 18,00 hodiny na Lichnerovej ulici, v Senci. Návštevníci sa tu dozvedia zaujímavé informácie týkajúce sa elektromobility a budú môcť otestovať rôzne ekologické dopravné prostriedky na elektrický pohon ako elektroskútre, elektrobicykle, elektrokolobežky a pod.. Predstavený bude aj študentský projekt elektromobilu e-vozidlo EDISON, ktoré bolo vyvinuté teamom profesorov, študentov a doktorandov ŽU.
Udalosti sa zúčastní aj spoločnosť Zeroemission, ktorá bude prezentovať nabíjacie stanice vhodné nielen pre spoločnosti ale aj do domácností. V našom meste budú v rámci medzinárodného projektu eGUTS (Electric, Electronic and Green Urban Transport Systems), o ktorom sme už písali v aprílovom čísle Senčana, v roku 2018 nainštalované a testované elektrické nabíjacie stanice, ktoré prispejú k rozvoju elektromobility v dunajskom regióne. Príďte sa zapojiť a dozvedieť viac.
Start date: 16-09-2017
End date: 22-09-2017

2nd eGUTS Partners' Meeting
Location: Maribor, Slovenia
Time passes quickly and first nine months of eGUTS are already behind us. Project partners have gathered for the second eGUTS meeting, this time in Maribor, Slovenia. The meeting took place at University of Maribor, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Transport Engineering and Architecture during 2nd to 4th of October 2017.
During the meeting partners addressed current status of ongoing and forthcoming activities in all work packages, including management and communication. As the project is approaching its first year of implementation special attention was given to upcoming deliverables and milestones.
Few members of the Transnational Expert Panel joined for the first time with eGUTS consortium, expressing also their opinions about the project and future actions to be taken. Project partners are confident that all the deliverables will be met in the set timeframe and are looking forward to the upcoming project activities within next six months.
Next project meeting will be organized by NOGRAVITY in Bratislava, Slovakia, during 19-21.02.2018.

SEBE
Project info
Europe’s current dependencies on imports of natural gas (and the willingness to delivery from its supplier states) have proven to be at valuable risk during recent years. When considering the projections of our growing energy demand during the next decades in relation to Europe’s natural oil and gas resources it becomes clear that these dependencies will have tremendous pricing effects on our economies in the near future.
Decentralized energy production from renewable resources – both, through the usage of biogas as fuel originator and as basic resource for feeding into the available gas grids – hold great and currently underdeveloped potential to reduce these dependencies and further foster Europe’s leadership position within this key areas of innovation. The availability of established regional gas grids in connection with new biogas, biogas cleaning technologies and methodologies are key elements of combining current infrastructure with new application fields to further improve profitability of current biogas plants.
Therefore, the SEBE project aims at a coordinated further development of biogas utilization, technology and transnational competence knowledge center within the CENTRAL EUROPE programme area. Different operating environments (legal, economical and logistical, technical), shortages on qualified and specialized human resources (planning, operation, support and maintenance) as well as several regional factors (e.g. available resources, logistics, or failed biogas plants from past projects) throughout the member states in the CE area form a challenging environment to work in.

RES and Transport
Project info
While urban mobility contributes significantly to all kinds of environmental, social and economical pressures which need to be addressed by cities and urban areas, transport is precisely one of the strategic policy areas in which cities can decisively influence the quality of the urban environment, as well as their effect on the wider environment and climate change.
In order to launch new types of sustainable transport in our cities and regions, following feasibility studies were elaborated by our GUTS Consortium:
- Pilot on biofuels (Province of Ferrara and Local Public Transport Agency Ferrara)
- Pilot on diesel-autogas system (Municipality of Velenje)
- Pilot on hydrogen production (No Gravity, in close cooperation with the Lead Partner, Municipality of Sopron)
- Pilot on technological and financial aspects of hydrogen: (Municipality of Sopron, in close cooperation with No Gravity )
- Pilot on solar energy (Province of Ferrara and Local Public Transport Agency Ferrara)
- Pilot on hydrogen versus biofuels (No Gravity and Transport Company Karlovy Vary, with strong involvement of P3 – Center of Excellence for Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency and Environment)
- Pilot on governance ( Center of Excellence for Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency and Environment)
- Master Studies (Master Study on Financial and Technical Feasibility and on Governance)
- Local Action Plans for all partners´ cities
GUTS cities campaigning for mobility
By focusing on alternative mobility, the 10th edition of the annual European Mobility Week helped to support the transition towards a resource-efficient transport system by promoting clean, fuel efficient modes and human-powered travel.
GUTS Partner Municipalities joined the weekly events held across the EU gathering cities, towns and urban communities, between 16 -22 September 2011. Committed to fighting for the improvement of the energy balance and the environmental performance of their local transport system and thus making urban life healthier, safer and more enjoyable, partners campaigned to raise awarenesson the GUTS project.
GUTS partners have developed actions and tools further to the joint methodology prepared by No Gravity, the project’s Slovakian partner.
