Context of BIOSIRE Project

The BIOSIRE project aims to establish a shift towards bio-diesel

and electric propulsion for fleets, ships and special vehicles in

tourist areas in Spain, France, Greece, Italy, Croatia and Austria.

BIOSIRE local actions are directed at market transformation and

changing the behaviour of fleet operators, tourists and residents,

farmers and the potential suppliers of used cooking oils. These

actions cover the full production and distribution chain.

Within the project one workpackage, WP4 Transferring

Implementation activities, is dedicated to exchange of

experiences.
