Oxy-Kraft RB

Oxy-Kraft recovery boiler – Towards novel integrated green energy parks

Oxy-combustion is a known technology to concentrate CO2 for further capture, however, applying oxy-combustion in Kraft recovery boilers has, so far, not been studied. The Kraft recovery boiler is an extremely complex device with the recovery of pulping chemicals as an essential part of the boiler design and operation. Oxy-combustion in Kraft recovery boilers would open opportunities for significant additional green energy production. In this project, we explore in detail the technical and economic feasibility of such a technology.

RESILIENT

Resilient Energy System Infrastructure Layouts for Industry, E-Fuels and Network Transitions

The main objective of the RESILIENT project is to develop a multi-vector energy infrastructure planning tool that addresses the uncertainties in the energy sector at both national and European levels. The tool, based on the existing European energy system model PyPSA-Eur, will optimise the integration of various energy vectors such as electricity, biomass, hydrogen and derivatives.

CoPRESS

CoPRESS

Cooperative Platform for Renewable Energy Storage Systems

The European power system is on the verge of an accelerating transformation through decentralisation, decarbonisation and digitalisation. In that context, CoPRESS aims at empowering electricity consumers to become actors with the freedom to choose how their distributed energy resources (DER) interact with the grid.

Sunflower

Sustainable Near-net-shape Fabrication of Low Environmental impact Receiver materials

The general objective of the proposed project SUNFLOWER is the development of highly efficient absorber structures for open volumetric receivers (OVR) for Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants with low environmental impact.

  • TRI 2: Enhanced zero emission Power Technologies
HyLife

HyLife

Microbial risks associated to hydrogen underground storage in Europe

The main objective of HyLife is to "validate the suitability of European subsurface structures (caverns/reservoirs) as safe and economically viable H₂ storage sites by systematically investigating the potential microbial reactions and identifying key influencing parameters.

  • TRI 3: Enabling Climate Neutrality with Storage Technologies Renewable Fuels and CCU/CCS

NextGen

Demonstrating the NextGeneration of Direct Drive Generators for Wind Energy

NextGen is about demonstrating a new direct drive generator concept, which through the novel PTF-technology enables a high efficiency and an extremely high torque density.
