Even though Biopact has been up and running for a few months only, we have received cosiderable interest in our perspective and in our work, from many different parties. Besides doing journalistic work on a continuous basis, we have cooperated with NGOs, companies, media and government agencies on a number of projects. A selection of our most recent work: Consulting for a major documentary August - September 2006 ![]() Feasibility study on tapping Nipa fruticans for ethanol in the Niger Delta September 2006 - ongoing ![]() Cooperation on the Biofuels Atlas January 2006 - ongoing A Brussels-based bioenergy consulting firm is producing a data-driven global biofuels atlas that allows researchers to estimate a whole range of production factors (crop yield, energy yield, GHG emissions, labor costs and productiviy, transport infrastructure and costs, etc...) of producing biofuels in different countries. Biopact offered basic consulting work on the situation in the tropics and on data-gathering techniques for this region. Research on the efficiency of different biofuel production paths based on tropical energy crops May - July 2006 A Belgian renewable energy group asked Biopact to research the energy balance and GHG balance of different biofuel production pathways based on using tropical energy crops as feedstocks. Consulting on the environmental sustainability of large-scale bioenergy production in the Congo basin August 2006 A major international NGO writing a report on the potential threats brought about by large-scale bioenergy production to the Congo-basin's ecosystem, called on Biopact for basic consulting. The report consists of scenario's for the medium to longterm future and looks at the positive and negative role biofuels would play in this region. The Jatropha Energy System - research on small-scale use of jatropha biofuel August - September 2005 ![]() Data gathering and modeling for a bioenergy consulting firm November 2005 - March 2006 Biopact cooperated with an Italian renewable energy consulting firm on a protocol for the use of agronomic, economic and sociological data in a model for the analysis of the potential for biofuel production in tropical and subtropical countries. 2006, Biopact,
