Renewable Energy Programme

The research activity of the programme involves the preservation and melioration of the hard, physically and chemically defected soils of the Central-Tisza area as well as the examination of problems related to the nutrition management and other agro-technical issues of plant production carried out on them. Hybrid production is carried out from sorghum, silage sorghum and Sudan grass in relation with the topic of breeding and production of forage sorghum crops.

Objectives of the research activities in the scope of the "Renewable Energy Programme"

  • Production of primary and by-product raw materials suitable for energy purposes.
  • Evaluation of the current genetic background from an energetic perspective and involvement of new plant species in energy utilization.
  • Further development of methods for determining the standards of value of agricultural products for energy purposes.

Besides research activities, researchers of the programme have significant roles in the educational tasks of BSc and MSc trainings of the Agricultural Faculty of the University of Debrecen as well as in the Kerpely Kálmán Doctoral School as trainers, consultants and opponents. Emphasis on education is implied by the fact that one of the researchers of the programme has the title of Doctor of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and a university professorship.
