Demonstration of soft stimulation treatments of geothermal reservoirs (DESTRESS)
Start date: Mar 1, 2016, End date: Feb 29, 2020,
DESTRESS is aimed at creating EGS (Enhanced geothermal systems) reservoirs with sufficient permeability, fracture orientation and spacing for economic use of underground heat. The concepts are based on experience in previous projects, on scientific progress and developments in other fields, mainly the oil & gas sector. Recently developed stimulation methods will be adapted to geothermal needs, app ...

Safe Life Extension management of aged infrastructures networks and industrial plants (SAFELIFE-X)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
The importance of aging of infrastructures, networks and industrial plants will continue to increase because of (a) need to continue operation of these infrastructures, networks and plants beyond the design life-time, (b) need to operate under changed conditions and (c) the increased role of existing plants in the optimized (“smart”) supply and utility networks of the future, e.g. as fall-back sup ...

Biomass based energy intermediates boosting biofuel production (BIOBOOST)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2015,
Increasing the share of biomass for renewable energy in Europe demands conversion pathways which are economic, flexible in feedstock and energy efficient. The BioBoost project concentrates on dry and wet residual biomass and wastes as feedstock for de-central conversion by fast pyrolysis, catalytic pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonisation to the intermediate energy carriers oil, coal or slurry. Ba ...

Low-temperature heat valorisation towards electricity production (LOVE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,
"Low-temperature process waste heat is primarily valorized to provide heat to other applications and, more rarely, to provide cooling or to produce electricity, which is often perceived to be less attractive. However, generating electricity does represent a rational alternative, since it may circumvent drawbacks linked to demand seasonality and location. The LOVE project aims at developing innov ...

Micro-Request-Based Aggregation, Forecasting and Scheduling of Energy Demand, Supply and Distribution (MIRABEL)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2013,
The MIRABEL project's main goal is to develop a conceptual and infrastructural approach that allows energy distribution companies to efficiently manage higher amounts of renewable energy and balance supply and demand. Currently, most renewable energy sources (RES; e.g. windmills, solar panels) pose the challenge that the production depends on external factors, such as wind speed and direction, the ...
