LIFE VOICE, supported by the LIFE-EU program and coordinated by C.R.E.A.R., demonstrated the possibility of developing models, based both on short supply chain and on industrial chain, for vegetable oils production for energy and transport in rural areas. The life VOICE project was a first pioneering experience of using pure vegetable oil. Through the tested supply chain the project demonstrated the economical and environmental benefit from using pure vegetable oil directly as a fuel in various farm-scale applications and promoted the market for local production of protein feed. The project also demonstrated the relevance of this bioenergy chain in producing proteins for both food and feed sectors (they represent about 2/3 of the mass output for each hectare).
