This Project intends to give a contribution in a partnership with other European countries (United Kingdom, UK, Netherlands, France, Norway and Romania) in research associated to the environmental impacts of military ammunitions (Green ammunitions). According this, the main goals are:

           Develop/build a database with relevant information regarding the energetic materials;

           Perform an analysis of the emissions related to the detonation phase of military ammunitions.

           Perform an environmental assessment to the military ammunitions entire life cycle. Assessing the impacts related to manufacture of the energetic materials and the assembly, as well as the impacts related to the detonation phase, and determine the impacts associated to the demilitarization process and valorization (recycling) of the energetic materials and its incorporation in civil explosives (Emulsion explosive) for co-detonation.
