Prof. Jing Liu, of the University of Lund (Sweden) presented his views on the future trends in R&D and the challenges of technology transfer to the biogas industry.
The conference, organized by Agroenergia, took place in Vercelli, Italy, on 16th Nov. 2012.

During the Green Night organized by the Municipality of Forlì (Italy), Mario A. Rosato presented the advantages of using the AMPTS in the management of biogas plant.
The venue was hosted by PHIAP SRL (Society of Applied Physics) , partner of Sustainable Technologies SL in several projects on biogas technology.
Program broadcasted on 7th March 2012. Mario A. Rosato explains how to couple the dark fermentation process with the cultivation of bamboo in order to tackle the global climate change.
Sustainable Technologies presented the AMPTS of Bioprocess Control AB in its own stand during the Fair and Symposium on biogas that was held in the technologic center of Tortona (Italy) on 1st and 2nd March 2012.
During the event prof. Mario A. Rosato was interviewed by the redaction of TeklaTV and the reportage was broadcasted by the TV chain Sky.
On 27th Feb. 2012 Mario A. Rosato talked about the mechanical properties and sustainability of bamboo products in the Italian TV program Geo&Geo.
The problem:
With the diffusion of the plasma and LCD screens, the old cathodic ray tube (CRT) is slowly disappearing. Milions of TV sets and monitors will have to be recycled. The CRT is made of glass with about 30% lead, becoming thus a material difficult to place in the market of the recycling or reuse. Furthermore, within 10 years there will be no more production of CRTs, hence no more demand for recycling them, so it is necessary to develop a process that does not require high investment, in order to build leaded glass recycling facilities that will surely have a short life.
It consists of a low cost chemical process that allows recovering the lead oxyde, which has an intereting market value and constant demand because it is the main material to make car batteries , paints and other products. The process requires very little energy, simple machinery and, most important, does not emit lead neither in water nor in the atmosphere.
