New Induction Wireless Manufacturing Efficient Process for Energy Intensive Industries (NIWE)

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

NIWE project will demonstrate a new production process able to decrease the embodied energy of the foundry products by over 25%, reducing drastically its carbon footprint. The demonstration will be performed in the aluminium, iron and steel sectors.The expected energy efficiency gains are due to a new furnace that, by means of a power transmission system based on induction, will allow a highly fle ...

The Human Brain Project (HBP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st century science. If we can rise to the challenge, we can gain profound insights into what makes us human, develop new treatments for brain diseases and build revolutionary new computing technologies. Today, for the first time, modern ICT has brought these goals within sight. The goal of the Human Brain Project, part of the ...

Optimization of Oxygen-based CFBC Technology with CO2 capture (O2GEN)

Start date: Oct 18, 2012, End date: Oct 17, 2015,

The project objective is to demonstrate the concept of the second generation oxyfuel combustion that reduce significantly (50%) the overall efficiency penalty of CO2 capture into power plants, from approximately 12 to 6 efficiency points.One of the main drawbacks of CCS is the additional energy used for operation. This energetic penalty reduces the power plant efficiency, and increases the cost of ...

RENEWABLE ECO-FRIENDLY POLY(LACTIC ACID) NANOCOMPOSITES FROM WASTE SOURCES (ECLIPSE)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a compostable polymer derived from renewable food-derived sources (mainly starch and sugar beet) and possesses the highest potential for a commercial major scale production of renewable packaging materials. Since PLA is compostable and derived from sustainable sources, it can be envisaged as a promising material for the reduction of the enormous societal problems associa ...

Development of Higly Eficient and Environmentally Friendly Grinding Technology Through a Minimum coolant approach (CAMEL-MCG)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

"Among metal machining processes, grinding is one of the most inefficient applications. But their finishing capabilities are not attainable by other methods. The main characteristic of grinding processes is the extremely high temperature in the contact zone, which makes necessary to use a cooling system to ensure a proper heat evacuation and to avoid piece damages. Cooling systems are based on app ...
