SOLAR THERMOCHEMICAL PRODUCTION OF FUELS (SUNFUELS)
Date du début: 1 mars 2013, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2018,
"The research is aimed at the efficient production of solar fuels from H2O and CO2. Solar thermochemical approaches using concentrating solar energy inherently operate at high temperatures and utilize the entire solar spectrum, and as such provide thermodynamic favorable paths to efficient solar fuel production. The targeted solar fuel is syngas: a mixture of mainly H2 and CO that can be further p ...

Solar Facilities for the European Research Area-Second Phase (SFERA-II)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,
Solar Energy, as the primary source of renewable energy, will contribute a major part of this share, and its conversion by concentrating technologies for concentrating solar power (CSP) and heat generation has long been proven cost-effective for a wide range of applications. Several CSP projects have recently been put into operation. Some 2.400 MW are under construction and several GW are in advan ...

Concentrated Solar Power in Particles (CSP2)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2011, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2015,
The CSP2 project puts forward an alternative heat transfer fluid (HTF) for concentrating solar power (CSP) plants. We propose to use dense gas-particle suspensions -DPS- (approximately 50% of solid) in tubes as HTF; these tubes set in a bundle constitute the solar absorber (receiver), placed at the top of a central receiver CSP system. This new HTF behaves like a liquid although it permits to exte ...

Solar chemical reactor demonstration and Optimization for Long-term Availability of Renewable JET fuel (SOLAR-JET)
Date du début: 1 juin 2011, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2015,
The aim of the SOLAR-JET project is to demonstrate a carbon-neutral path for producing aviation fuel, compatible with current infrastructure, in an economically viable way. The SOLAR-JET project will demonstrate on a laboratory-scale a process that combines concentrated sunlight with CO2 captured from air and H2O to produce kerosene by coupling a two-step solar thermochemical cycle based on non-st ...

New solar collector concept for high temperature operation in CSP applications (HITECO)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2010, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2014,
"In order to accelerate the implementation of the CSP technology, the electricity cost has to be reduced by increasing the plants’ efficiency. The HITECO Project aims at doing so by increasing the operating temperature of the heat transfer fluid (HTF) up to 600ºC and therefore raising the overall efficiency of the process. The current state-of-the-art designs are prevented to reach such temperatur ...

Novel technologies for enhanced energy and exergy efficiencies in primary aluminium production industry (ENEXAL)
Date du début: 28 mai 2010, Date de fin: 27 mai 2014,
Primary aluminium production industry is the world’s larger industrial consumer of energy and ranked among the most CO2 intensive industries. It also generates enormous quantities of wastes that further decrease the exergy efficiency of its production process. However, this industry is one of the most vital sectors from economic and social point of view, not only for EU but also for the entire wor ...

Materials and components for Hydrogen production by sulphur based thermochemical cycles (HycycleS)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2008, Date de fin: 31 mars 2011,
HycycleS aims at the qualification and enhancement of materials and components for key steps of thermochemical cycles for solar or nuclear hydrogen generation. The focus of HycycleS is the decomposition of sulphuric acid which is the central step of the sulphur based family of those processes, especially the hybrid sulphur cycle and the sulphur-iodine cycle. Breakthrough developments are targeted ...
