Demonstration of an innovative fine crushing method for glass and alternative cullet in flat glass production (LIFE FLAT to FLAT)

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

Background Glass is a key element for many industries. In 2006, the world market for flat glass was estimated at around 42 million tonnes. Growth in the demand for flat glass has generally outpaced real GDP growth for the past 20 years. The production of glass, however, requires high levels of energy and raw materials, and leads to the emission of various ...

HOxyGas - Validation of an innovative automotive glass process: hot oxygen combustion and hot natural gas (HOxyGas)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

Background Glass is a key element in many industries. Worldwide, the average consumption of glass is estimated at around 6 kg per person per year, which rises to 18 kg per person per year in Western Europe. Growth in the demand for flat glass has generally outpaced real GDP growth for the past 20 years. One of the key markets for flat glass is the automob ...

Validation of an environmentally friendly system, combining CO2 capture and biofuel production based on algae culture for industrial exhaust application (AGICAL+)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Background The lime and glass industries consume fossil fuels and produce significant quantities of CO2. By using an algae culture for carbon capture, it is estimated that up to 360 tonnes of CO2 can be captured and up to 2 460 GJ of fossil fuel consumption can be reduced per hectare of algae. If applied full-scale, such technology might reduce CO2 emissi ...

Smart, lightweight, cost-effective and energy efficient windows based on novel material combinations (WINSMART)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

The main goal of the project is to develop a smart window system that will contribute to meeting the energy efficiency targets of the building industry by 2020. This goal will be achieved through a new vacuum insulation glazing (VIG) solution combined with newly developed and robust switchable glazing systems mounted in durable and energy efficient sash and frame. The Energy Performance of Buildin ...

High Efficient Very Large Area Thin Film Silicon Photovoltaic Modules (HELATHIS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"Recent photovoltaic market trends point to an increased market share of thin film technologies in addition to an increased volume of module production. In particular for amorphous silicon (a-Si) and microcrystalline silicon (uc-Si) this is driven by the recently increased availability of large area deposition systems from different equipment suppliers. The present project identifies optical light ...
