Las actividades de I+D, lideradas por el Centro de Investigación han aportado mejoras tanto a los procesos productivos en explotación, que permiten maximizar la producción con el mínimo impacto en el medio ambiente, como en el desarrollo de nuevos combustibles basados en componentes de origen agrícola con un impacto menor desde el punto de vista de la contribución a las emisiones de GEI.	The R&D activities headed by the Research Centre have made improvements to both the productive processes in place (helping to maximise production with as little impact as possible on the environment) and to the development of new fuels based on agricultural components with the least possible impact in terms of GHG emissions.
