M4ShaleGas: Measuring, monitoring, mitigating managing the environmental impact of shale gas (M4ShaleGas)

Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: Nov 30, 2017,

The accelerated development of shale gas is accompanied by growing public concern regarding the safety of shale gas extraction and its impact on human health and the environment. For the US, shale gas exploitation proved very successful in changing the energy landscape in terms of security of domestic supply and increased contribution of gas in the energy mix. For Europe, shale gas exploitation co ...

European Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage Laboratory Infrastructure (ECCSEL)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

ECCSEL aims at gaining recognition as a world-class research infrastructure based within leading European Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) institutions and knowledge centres. It will be due for registration in 2015, forming a legal entity allocating efforts and resources to selected scientific and technological aspects of the CCS chain. ECCSEL will enable high-ranking researchers and scientists fr ...

Reconfigurable ROS-based Resilient Reasoning Robotic Cooperating Systems (R5-COP)

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

European manufacturing industry faces increasing product variances resulting as a consequence of frequent innovation, short product lifecycles, small series production, and shrinking production cycles. At the same time, production cost must be continuously reduced.Agile, transformable and re-usable automation and robotics is be a key enabler to manage those trends. However, few robotic components ...

Remediation and mitigation of CO2 leakage (MIRECOL)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

Safety, reliability and controllability are essential elements influencing the public perception and licensing of CO2 storage. Therefore a thorough analysis of leakage mechanisms and threats to the safety and security of storage will be the first activity in the MiReCOL project. This will form the basis for an analysis of mitigation and remediation options. Both existing (state-of-the-art) and new ...

The impact of the quality of CO2 on transport and storage behaviour (IMPACTS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

"IMPACTS - The impact of the quality of CO2 on transport and storage behaviour will underpin the realisation of the EU CCS European Industrial Initiative implementation plan by developing knowledge and technology needed for Carbon Dioxide Capture, Transport and Storage (CCS) pilots and large-scale demonstrations. IMPACTS is linked to demonstration projects, and will therefore benefit from realisti ...

EERA Design Tools for Offshore Wind Farm Cluster (EERA-DTOC)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

The European Energy Research Alliance (EERA) together with some high-impact industry partners addresses the call proposing an integrated and validated design tool combining the state-of-the-art wake, yield and electrical models available in the consortium, as a plug-in architecture with possibility for third party models. To decrease uncertainties around wind farm wake predictions, a small measur ...

Research into Impacts and Safety in CO2 Storage (RISCS) (RISCS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"Although significant leakage from CO2 storage sites is not expected, if it did occur there could be adverse environmental consequences, which are not well constrained. The objective of RISCS is to provide fundamental research on environmental impacts, necessary to underpin frameworks for the safe management of CO2 storage sites. To achieve this, RISCS will quantitatively assess environmental impa ...

Characterisation of European CO2 storage (SiteChar)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

SiteChar will facilitate the implementation of CO2 storage in Europe by improving and extending standard site characterisation workflows, and by establishing the feasibility of CO2 storage on representative potential CO2 complexes suitable for development in the near term.Reasonable estimates of the theoretical capacities of storage sites have been undertaken in previous studies. We will develop a ...

European Value Chains for CO2 (ECCO)

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

The main objective of ECCO is to facilitate robust strategic decision making regarding early and future implementation of CO2 value chains for Europe in the face of uncertainty. The project will provide recommendations enabling cost-effective use of the CO2 being produced from zero-emission power plants and other industries in Europe by exploring the assets and challenges of CO2 for enhanced hydr ...
