ENhanced DURability materials for Advanced stacks of New solid oxide fuel CElls (Endurance)

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

"The project aims at developing reliable predictive models to estimate long-term (i.e. > 20 kh) performance and probability of failure of SOFC stacks based on existing materials and design produced by the industrial partners. This will allow the realization of stacks with extended service intervals and reduced maintenance cost with respect to the present stack technology. The extension of service ...

JUnction iMProved KESTerite based solar cells for cost efficient sustainable photovoltaic technologies (JUMPKEST)

Start date: Jan 15, 2015, End date: Jan 14, 2017,

"Kesterite based solar cells are emerging devices with a strong interest for the development of high efficiency and low cost sustainable photovoltaic (PV) technologies. Kesterites are quaternary compounds with a crystalline structure very similar to that of chalcopyrites (CIGS: Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2). In contrast to CIGS - where the potential for high mass production is compromised by the scarcity of I ...

CO2 - Loop for Energy storage and conversion to Organic chemistry Processes through advanced catalytic Systems (CEOPS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

CEOPS project will focus on a sustainable approach for the production of methanol from CO2, which is a precursor for fine chemicals products. The approach will reinforce the link between large CO2 emitters and fine chemical industries at the European level. The concept relies on two chemical pathways, CO2 to CH4 and CH4 to CH3OH with the intermediate carbon vector: methane. Methane benefits from t ...
