Development of a Low CO2 Iron and Steelmaking Integrated Process Route for a Sustainable European Steel Industry (LoCO2Fe)

Start date: May 1, 2015, End date: Apr 30, 2018,

Over the past decade, the steel industry in Europe has been spending a lot of effort in Research and Development of technologies that help in achieving the EU’s CO2 emissions targets and reduce the cost of EU ETS compliance. That has been done through a combination of large scale projects which were part publicly funded with European funding and partly through smaller privately funded research act ...

Scale-up of Calcium Carbonate Looping Technology for Efficient CO2 Capture from Power and Industrial Plants (SCARLET)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

Calcium Carbonate Looping (CCL) is a promising long-term technology for low-cost post combustion CO2 capture for fossil fuels using limestone based solid sorbents. It combines the advantages of a small efficiency penalty of 5 to 7 % points and a low CO2 capture cost compared to competing technologies currently under development. First tests performed on the 1 MWth scale have confirmed the feasibil ...

Alliance for Materials – A value chain approach to materials research and innovation (MatVal)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

Currently, there is a lack of consistent coordination between the activities of the various ETPs, which has led to a diverse range of ideas as to what is important to European materials developments, and consequently a somewhat fragmented support for these developments. In 2010, a group of ETPs (EuMaT, Suschem, Manufuture, FTC, ESTEP and SMR) with most significant material agenda, came together to ...

PAthways for Carbon Transitions (PACT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

Most «business-as-usual scenarios» built up till now have shown that hydrocarbon resources scarcity and the growing release of greenhouse gases will bring the world far away from sustainability over the next decades. Then, deep changes in behaviours away from «BAU» are unavoidable long before the turn of the century in a move towards a post-carbon society. Urbanisation and mobility are probably ...
