Research Facility Network Catalyses Europe’s Biomass Potential
(CORDIS/Phys.Org) Completed in September 2015, the four-year BRISK project brought together 26 partners from across Europe – various academic and research institutions – to establish a highly visible network of demonstration rigs.

Indeed, such has been its success that efforts are already in place to find a successor to BRISK. READ MORE
