SUA Rector, Prof. Peter Bielik and the representative of biofuel producers  and the Association for the production and use of biofuels Ing. Róbert Spišák, signed the Memorandum of Understanding that is to support the cooperation within the projects related to agrobiology, bioenergy, biotechnology and advanced technologies in the agriculture and food production. The Memorandum was signed in Bratislava on November 28.

Both parties expect  innovative solutions for the production of first-generation biofuels as well as opportunities for the production and application of second-generation biofuels in terms of the V4 region. Research should also apply to the field of alternative sources of energy and raw materials for the production of biofuels and alternative uses of by-products arising from the production of biofuels.

The advantage of SUA, as the only university focusing on research and education of  specialists for the agricultural sector is the ability to comprehensively address the issue of biofuels and the selection of appropriate crops, their cultivation, harvesting, storage and conversion to energy carriers with greater energy and wider application possibilities . The  Agrobiotech research centre  currently built at SUA will be a basic platform for such broad cooperation with biofuel producers.
