Physical processing of molten light alloys under the influence of external fields (EXOMET)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2016,

The ExoMet proposal revolves around innovative liquid metal engineering and the application of external physical fields, in order to significantly influence the microstructures and properties of light alloys, such as aluminium and magnesium. Three types of external fields will be explored, namely: electromagnetic, ultrasonic and intensive mechanical shearing.To meet the future EU challenges of lig ...

High Energy Lithium-Ion Storage Solutions (HELIOS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

"The reluctance of OEM worldwide to extend electric drive applications to the private customers depends partly from considerations on customer acceptance (limited range in the case of EV, long charging time after depletion of the battery, cost), but also from the increased reliability and life span that private customers are entitled to expect.The first goal of HELIOS project is to evaluate electr ...

Production of DME from biomass and utilisation as fuel for transport and for industrial use (BIODME)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

... clean synthesis gas and a final fuel synthesis step. In order to check technical standards, commercial possibilities and engine compatibilities the bio-DME will be tested in a fleet consisting of 10 Volvo trucks. Research, development and demonstration will be made of improved fuel production systems and conversion technologies for the sustainable production and supply chains of DME from biomass ...

Demonstration of DeMethyl Ether Vehicle for Sustainable Transport (DME Vehicle)

Start date: Jan 15, 2005, End date: Jun 30, 2007,

Background Under the Kyoto Protocol, the EU has committed itself to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions to 8% below its 1990 level by 2008-2012. Today, over 97% of transport related energy comes from crude oil, with heavy vehicles generally running on diesel. However, the European Commission is seeking to substitute 20% of conventional fuels with altern ...

Lean Learning Academies

Start date: Oct 1, 2009,

Reason for the project:The right way for our companies to survive today’s economical crisis is to focus on production efficiency and cost reduction. This is what lean manufacturing accomplishes. The maximum benefit from lean manufacturing is gained by considering all its elements (principles, tools, mindset) together as a system and by practicing them every day in a very consistent manner.That’s w ...
