Demonstration of solvent and resin production from lignocellulosic biomass via the platform chemical levulinic acid (GreenSolRes)

Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2020,

The GreenSolRes-Project demonstrates the levulinic acid value chain of lignocellulosic feedstocks to high-value products in a 3-step approach on TRL 6 to 7: First, the feedstock of GFBs existing demo plant in Caserta is shifted to lignocellulosic residues or wastes by implementation of a char separation unit and a boiler to cover the process energy demand. A new product separation unit enables mor ...

Sustainable Biomass Conversions by Highly Efficient Catalytic Processes (SUBICAT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

"The goal of a sustainable society requires the efficient use of renewable or sustainable materials and demands the development of selective new methodologies for the preparation of desirable products. In this context we require:(i) a change from traditional stoichiometric, high energy methods that produce huge amounts of chemical waste to mild and clean catalytic processes and(ii) a major step ch ...

Advanced Multi-Fuel Reformer for Fuel Cell CHP Systems (ReforCELL)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Distributed power generation via Micro Combined Heat and Power (m-CHP) systems, has been proven to overcome disadvantages of centralized plant since it can give savings in terms of Primary Energy consumption and energy costs. The main advantage is that m-CHP systems are able to recover and use the heat that in centralized systems is often lost. Wide exploitation of these systems is still hindered ...

Design and Manufacturing of Catalytic Membrane Reactors by developing new nano-architectured catalytic and selective membrane materials (DEMCAMER)

Start date: Jul 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

The DEMCAMER project proposes an answer to the paradigm met by the European Chemical Industry: increase the production rate while keeping the same products quality and reducing both production costs and environmental impacts. Through the implementation of a novel process intensification approach consisting on the combination of reaction and separation in a “Catalytic Membrane Reactor” single unit. ...

Integration of Nanoreactor and multisite CAtalysis for a Sustainable chemical production (INCAS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

The project concept is to combine nanoreactor technology with multisite solid catalyst design to achieve a safer, cleaner and intensified chemical production. The project ideas are the following: (i) From micro- to nano-reactors. Actual microreactor have channels of micrometric size. We will develop a new concept based on the use of nanometric size channels. (ii) Vectorial pathway for multisite ca ...

Hierarchically Organized Metal Organic Catalysts for Continuous and Multi-batch Processes (HiCat)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

...ucted using components at the nano-scale in a bottom-up approach. Hereby, catalytically active metal complexes will be linked with nanoparticles such as polymeric microgels, hyperbranched polymers or hybrid systems consisting of silsesquioxanes attached to hyperbranched polymers. Further hierarchical organisation of HiCat catalysts will be accomplished by interconnected networks formed from the as ...
