Safety of ACtinide Separation proceSSes (SACSESS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

"Nuclear power plays a key role in limiting EU’s greenhouse gases emissions, and makes an important contribution to improve European Union’s independence, security and diversity of energy supply. However, its social acceptance is closely linked to an enhanced safety in the management of long-lived radioactive waste contributing to resource efficiency and cost-effectiveness of this energy and ensur ...

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 ...

Demonstration of a cost effective medium size Chemical Looping Combustion through packed beds using solid hydrocarbons as fuel for power production with CO2 capture (DEMOCLOCK)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2015,

DemoCLOCK aims to demonstrate the technical, economic and environmental feasibility for implementing packed bed based high temperature high pressure Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) in large-scale power plants. A medium sized (500 kW) fixed bed reactor will be designed, build and operated integrated in an existing Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plant at Elcogas. The packed be ...

Gas Absorption Heat Pump solution for existing residential buildings (HEAT4U)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

Residential buildings represent 60% of the building stock and the area where most of the potential to drastically reduce energy use and CO2 emissions lies. New directives push for deep retrofitting efforts, in order to achieve energy efficiency and RES adoption targets for 2020 and beyond. These require acting both on envelope and on energy use systems, mainly heating and DHW equipment that repres ...

Dense membranes for efficient oxygen and hydrogen separation (DEMOYS)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Jul 31, 2014,

"Membranes for oxygen and hydrogen separation play a key-role in the development of CO2 emission-free coal or natural gas power plants. In addition, cost-effective oxygen and hydrogen production processes are urgently needed in gas supply industry. Today existing membranes, however, are not able to meet the requirements for an economical use because of the high costs in combination with limited pe ...

Large-Eddy and System Simulation to predict Cyclic Combustion Variability in gasoline engines (LESSCCV)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

"The objective of LESSCCV is to exploit the recent possibilities of engine computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools to fundamentally improve the understanding of cyclic combustion variability (CCV) in gasoline engines under real operating conditions, and to provide adequate modelling. Multi-scale CFD tools, able to study in detail the sources of CCV in full engines, will be developed. These tools ...

"CArbon-free Electricity by SEWGS: Advanced materials, Reactor and process design" (CAESAR)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

"The proposed project CAESAR is building on work currently performed with the FP6 IP CACHET. One of the four pre combustion CO2 capture technologies that are being developed in CACHET is the Sorption Enhanced Water Gas Shift (SEWGS) process. The SEWGS process produces hot, high pressure H2 in a catalytic CO shift reactor with simultaneous adsorption of CO2 on a high temperature adsorbent. The syst ...
