CAScade deoxygenation process using tailored nanoCATalysts for the production of BiofuELs from lignocellullosic biomass (CASCATBEL)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

The present project is aimed to the development of a multi-step process for the production of second-generation biofuels from lignocellulosic biomass in a cost-efficient way through the use of tailored nanostructured catalysts. The proposed process is based on the cascade combination of three catalytic transformations: catalytic pyrolysis, intermediate deoxygenation and hydrodeoxygenation. The seq ...

TRAINING NETWORK IN INNOVATIVE POLYELECTROLYTES FOR ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT (RENAISSANCE)

Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

The introduction of new ionic moieties (cations and anions) into polymers is giving rise to a new family of functional polymers with particular properties and new applications which is provoking a RENAISSANCE of the chemistry and applications of classic polyelectrolytes. However, further developments and a better understanding of the properties and applications of innovative polyelectrolytes are ...

Concentrated Solar Power in Particles (CSP2)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

The CSP2 project puts forward an alternative heat transfer fluid (HTF) for concentrating solar power (CSP) plants. We propose to use dense gas-particle suspensions -DPS- (approximately 50% of solid) in tubes as HTF; these tubes set in a bundle constitute the solar absorber (receiver), placed at the top of a central receiver CSP system. This new HTF behaves like a liquid although it permits to exte ...

Thermochemical Energy Storage for Concentrated Solar Power Plants (TCSPower)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2015,

The overall objective of the TCSPower project is to realise a new, efficient, reliable and economic thermochemical energy storage (TCS) for concentrated solar power plants which has the capability to contribute significantly to further cost reduction of regenerative electricity production. This will be achieved by applying reversible gas-solid reactions. Dissociation of calcium hydroxide is used f ...

Advanced Electrolyser for Hydrogen Production with Renewable Energy Sources (ADEL)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

The ADEL project (ADvanced ELectrolyser for Hydrogen Production with Renewable Energy Sources) proposes to develop a new steam electrolyser concept named Intermediate Temperature Steam Electrolysis (ITSE) aiming at optimizing the electrolyser life time by decreasing its operating temperature while maintaining satisfactory performance level and high energy efficiency at the level of the complete sy ...
