ASCENT - Advanced Solid Cycles with Efficient Novel Technologies (ASCENT)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

"ASCENT will provide a robust proof-of-concept of three related high temperature processes; each will lead to a step-change in efficiency of carbon removal in three types of pre-combustion capture, producing the hydrogen needed for highly efficient low-carbon power production. The project brings together five small and medium enterprises preparing to launch these concepts with the support of leadi ...

Modelling of dependencies and cascading effects for emergency management in crisis situations (CASCEFF)

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

Escalating incidents in complex environments can lead to severe cascading effects and quickly become extremely difficult for emergency services to handle. Such incidents can have enormous consequences with respect to life, property and the environment and for both infrastructure and the general public. These consequences can in many situations have both direct and indirect effects, not only in the ...

End-user driven DEmo for cbrNe (EDEN)

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

The accidental or deliberate release of CBRNE materials are low probability events that can have a significant impact on citizens and society. Whenever and wherever they occur, they usually require a gradual and multi-facetted response as they tend to provoke severe and unexpected physical, psychological, societal, economical and political effects that cross EU-borders. Successful CBRNE resilience ...

Techno-economic Assessment of CO2 Quality Effect on its Storage and Transport (CO2QUEST)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

The CO2QUEST proposal addresses the fundamentally important issues regarding the impact of the typical impurities in the gas or dense phase CO2 stream captured from fossil fuel power plants on its safe and economic transportation and storage.The proposed work programme will focus on the development of state-of-the art mathematical models backed by laboratory and industrial-scale experimentation ut ...

Modelling the thermo-mechanical behaviour of high pressure vessel in composite materials when exposed to fire conditions (FIRECOMP)

Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2016,

Hydrogen is expected to be highly valuable energy carrier for the 21st century as it should participate in answering main societal and economical concerns. To exploit its benefits at large scale, further research and technological developments are required. In particular, the storage of hydrogen must be secured. Even if burst in service of pressure vessels in composite material is very unlikely, w ...

New Directions in Seismic Hazard assessment through Focused Earth Observation in the Marmara Supersite (MARSITE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

The recent devastating earthquakes and associated tsunamis in Japan, Indonesia, and Haiti, which killed more than half a million people, highlighted how mankind is still far away from a satisfactory level of seismic risk mitigation. Among the regions around the Mediterranean Sea for which earthquakes represent a major threat to their social and economic development, the area around the Marmara Se ...

Total Operation management for Safety Critical Activities (TOSCA)

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

Over the recent past the accumulation of major mishaps, crises and accidents have made it clear that organisations must still improve their capabilities to address safety “not a stand-alone activity that is separate from the main activities and processes of the organization” but as an integrated part of critical project management. Further it is critical also to understand how weaknesses not only ...

New Concept of Metal-Air Battery for Automotive Application based on Advanced Nanomaterials (NECOBAUT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

The aim of NECOBAUT Project is to develop a new concept of battery for automotive based on a new metal/air technology that overcomes the energy density limitation of the Li-ion battery used at present for Electrical Vehicles. Some metal/air cells were developed in the past, but did not give the demanded requirements for commercial use. Two decades of improvements in materials for electrodes, elect ...

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 ...

Safe Nano Worker Exposure Scenarios (SANOWORK)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

The main goal of Sanowork project is to identify a safe occupational exposure scenario by exposureassessment in real conditions and at all stages of nanomaterials (NM) production, use and disposal.In order to address this and more specifically the issues introduced by NMP.2011.1.3-2 call, we intend to:1. contain hazard and worker exposure potential by developing exposure mitigation strategy based ...
