Operation of a Novel Sofc-battery Integrated hybrid for Telecommunication Energy systems (ONSITE)

Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

SOFCs are good energy sources to supply reliable power at steady state. Due to their slow internal electrochemical and thermodynamic characteristics, they cannot respond to electrical load transients as quickly as desired. During peak demand a battery can provide power in addition to the fuel cell, whereas the fuel cell can recharge the battery during low demand periods. The key advantage of this ...

Bridging Gaps Between R2I in Resource Efficiency and Raw Materials (RERAM)

Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2016,

"RERAM responds to the societal challenge of ‘CLIMATE CHANGE, RESOURCE EFFICIENCY AND RAW MATERIALS’ in Europe’s forestry and woodworking sector. Knowledge, communication and cooperation gaps between research communities and innovation-driven industries significantly hamper progress towards sustainable use of the natural resource FOREST in the woodworking sector. The RERAM project targets the very ...

Roman Cements for Architectural Restoration to New High Standards (ROCARE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

"Highly hydraulic binders, known as natural or Roman cements, were key materials to cover façades of buildings of the European Historicism and Art Nouveau (19th/early 20th century), a period of rapid urban growth in Europe. The maintenance, restoration and reconstruction of historic Roman cement façades form therefore an important issue in Europe’s efforts to preserve its architectural heritage. T ...

A Novel Conductive Surface for Efficient Heating of Bulk Containers and Drums (Safe Heat)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

Over 29m moulded drums and Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) were estimated to have been manufactured in Europe by 2008 with the total number of plastic IBCs manufactured p.a. in Europe in 2008 estimated to be 4m units. Many materials stored in IBCs become viscous at room temperature. These materials can present customers with a number of challenges including:- In the absence of heat, the produc ...

Development of an Opto-chemical Carbon Dioxide Sensor for Aquaculture and Oceanography Applications (OptoCO2Fish)

Start date: Mar 16, 2009, End date: Jun 15, 2011,

Today, some 45% of fish consumed by humans, 48 millions tonnes in all, is raised on fish farms. The actual relating European market, of which Norway is the leader, produces 1.3 millions of tonnes of fish farming products every year, which represents an approximate value of 3 billion Euros. Due to the highly competitive market the aquaculture business is confronted with the challenge to increase it ...
