The e-ROSA project seeks to build a shared vision of a future sustainable e-infrastructure for research and education in agriculture in order to promote Open Science in this field and as such contribute to addressing related societal challenges. In order to achieve this goal, e-ROSA’s first objective is to bring together the relevant scientific communities and stakeholders and engage them in the process of coelaboration of an ambitious, practical roadmap that provides the basis for the design and implementation of such an e-infrastructure in the years to come.
This website highlights the results of a bibliometric analysis conducted at a global scale in order to identify key scientists and associated research performing organisations (e.g. public research institutes, universities, Research & Development departments of private companies) that work in the field of agricultural data sources and services.

The fuel called biogas is obtained through anaerobic digestion of different types of organic waste, providing a way to tap the energy stored in organic matter. The use of this fuel is also attractive from the standpoint of global warming because its application does not register a net emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. One possible use for this fuel is to feed the spark-ignition internal combustion engines. In the present, there is little information available about the process of combustion in internal combustion engines fueled by biogas. The combustion process of an internal combustion engine ignition powered by biogas is characterized in terms of the duration of combustion, i. e., depending on the time elapsed while the reactants (methane and oxygen) are transformed into products (mainly carbon dioxide and water). This study numerically evaluates the way in which the geometrical parameters such as the compression ratio and operating parameters like engine speed, the excess air, the time of spark timing and carbon dioxide content of biogas affect the evolution of the combustion process. To carry out this study, a five factors and two levels experiment was designed and conducted, based on which, the most influential parameters were identified. Equations expressing the combustion characteristic parameters, as a function of the geometric and operation parameters of a spark ignited engines, are delivered as a result.
