LC-GD-3-1-2020	Achieving climate neutrality by 2050 requires a rapid paradigm shift towards the implementations of new, climate positive solutions that can boost the European market. Emerging new solutions for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) have great potential to decarbonize production in the chemical industry, while allowing value creation from own carbon emissions. In this context, the PYROCO2 project will demonstrate the scalability and economic viability of carbon capture and utilization (CCU) to make climate-positive acetone out of industrial CO2 and renewable electricity derived hydrogen. Core of the technology is an energy-efficient thermophilic microbial bioprocess that is projected towards a reduction of 17 Mt CO2eq by 2050. The acetone produced by the PYROCO2 process will be demonstrated as an ideal platform for the catalytic synthesis of a range of chemicals, synthetic fuels, and recyclable polymer materials from CO2, generating a portfolio of viable business cases and pre-developed processes for replication and commercialisation. The PYROCO2 demonstrator plant will be able to produce up to 4000 tonnes acetone annually from 9100 tonnes of industrial CO2 and green hydrogen. It will be located at the industrial cluster of Heroya Industrial Park in southern Norway, a strategic placement that guarantees access to CO2 feedstock and green energy at a competitive price and connects several carbon-intensive industries with chemical production through industrial symbiosis. From here, the PYROCO2 project will represent a key driver for the emergence of CCU Hubs across Europe. Besides the large-scale demonstration and full financial, regulatory, and environmental assessment of the PYROCO2 technology, the project will explore the sphere of public acceptance and market exploitation to further encourage the emergence of the CCU market.	none given	none given	none given	1

CE-SPIRE-01-2020	INITIATE proposes a novel symbiotic process to produce urea from steel residual gases. The project will demonstrate a reduction in; primary energy intensity of 30%; carbon footprint of 95%; the raw material intensity of 40%; and waste production of 90%. Additional to this level of reduction, the concept represents a positive business case. INITIATE will demonstrate operating reliability and technology-based innovations in a real industrial setting at TRL7 by producing urea NH3 from steel residual gases as part of three test campaigns spanning six weeks each. The reduction in primary energy intensity, carbon footprint, raw material intensity and waste production will be assessed and verified on a regional and European level by advanced dynamic modelling and Life Cycle Assessment commiserated with ISO 14404 guidelines.The project will develop a commercial implementation roadmap for immediate deployment of INITIATE after project conclusion and for ensuring roll-out of INITIATE and similar symbiotic systems. Designing a robust and bankable first-of-a-kind commercial plant to produce urea from residual steel gases will allow implementation after project conclusion. Long term roll-out will be enabled by defining collaborative strategy for stakeholders alignment to implement INITIATE and similar symbiotic systems. Finally, effective and inclusive communication and dissemination of project results are maximized by organizing summer schools and creation of Massive Open Online Course.INITIATE will take advantage of a consortium spanning the full value chain, including major steel and urea industrial players (Arcelor Mittal, SSAB, Stamicarbon, NextChem), functional material suppliers (Johnson Matthey, Kisuma Chemicals), multi-disciplinary researchers (TNO, POLIMI, Radboud University) and experienced promoters of CCUS, circularity and symbiosis topics to public (CO2 Value Europe).	none given	none given	none given	F

A related proposal, also part of theULCOS in itiative, was presented to the RFCS program as proposal RFCS-PR-03113. ULCOS is a major RTD program, which plans to find innovative and breakthrough solutions to decrease the CO2 emissions of the Steel industry. The context is the post-Kyoto era. The target is an expected reduction of specific CO2 emissions of 50% as compared to a modern Blast Furnace. Within 5 years, the project will deliver a concept process route, basedon iron ore, with a verification of its feasibility in terms of technology, eco nomic projections and social acceptability. It would be unrealistic today to choose among the candidate technologies that show potential for achieving this target, be-cause they are still tentative and the successful one will have to be selected on te chnical and non-technical criteria (futureenergy market, internalization of C2 mitigation costs in market prices, societal acceptance). The project hence starts by ex-amining a panel of technologies, which have passed a first prescreening but need to be investigated more closely. This ap-proach is believed to be the most efficient in terms of resources and lead-time necessary to develop the new technology. Examined in the first stage of the proposed stage-gate approach, are: (1) new carbon-based sme lting-reduction concepts,making use of the shaft furnace but also (2) of new less common reactors; (3) natural-gas based pre-reduction reactors be-yond state-of-the art technology; (4) hydrogen-based reduction using hydrogen from CO2-lean technologies; (5) direct pro-duction of steel by electrolysis, and (6) the use of biomass, which circulates carbon rapidly in the atmosphere.

The Holcim Bulgaria plant will be the heart and engine of the cluster development starting with CO2 transport and storage (T&S) demonstration in North West Bulgaria. EL will de-risk the CO2 transport and storage by eliminating the main uncertainties of T&S by industrial demonstration, in-depth studies and stakeholder engagement. By constructing and testing a km long transport pipeline fully integrated into the commercial operating CO2 storage, the key process parameters and technical aspects for a full-scale CCUS complex will be validated. The critical risks of the T&S part will be eliminated by an industrial demonstration and comprehensive set of studies leading to permitting.To minimize the risks, saline aquifers from North West Bulgaria will be used for safe and large capacity CO2 storage close to a major CO2 source and Bulgarian pipeline corridors. Extensive geological, geophysical and testing work will be done to address critical issues as induced seismicity and safe injection over time. By actually constructing a short pipeline, specific issues like land-owner allowances will be addressed and the transport will be made ready for permitting and execution for the entire corridor cross-border cluster connecting members to the CO2 sink. Intensive communication, stakeholder consultation, cluster development and permit preparations will complete the Eastern Lights scope. As such, Eastern Lights shall unlock the CCUS potential in Eastern Europe, Bulgaria in particular and potentially Romania, therewith contributing to the Fit for 55 targets. Demonstrating an economically feasible decarbonizing track for the (cement) industry in Bulgaria, will secure jobs and economic activity in this field. Strong cross-border ties will be demonstrated by using CO2 from Tupras in Turkey (Mof4Air), and more generally contributing the EU goal to reach climate targets.	none given	none given	none given	F

At the same time, the textile industry is one of the most polluting industries worldwide with the highest greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions corresponding to 10% of the global emissions. Polyester (PET) is the most widely used fibre in the industry, making up 52% of the global market volume. No technology available today is capable of addressing the textile industry’s sustainability and virgin PET produced from primary petrochemical sources remains predominant with a fossil fuel consumption of 98 Mt annually which is expected to reach 300 Mt by 2050. Addressing the key challenges of carbon neutrality, circularity, cost, value chain adaption, and textile properties is the ambition of Threading-CO2, a disruptive project that will demonstrate on an industrial scale a first-of-its-kind technology that converts CO2 waste streams into sustainable PET textiles. Threading-CO2 aims to scale-up and demonstrate its first-of-its-kind technology producing high-quality commercially viable sustainable PET textile products from CO2 waste streams at industrial scale (TRL7) using a circular manufacturing approach and running on renewable energy sources. The overall outcome of the Threading-CO2 project is a 70% GHG emissions reduction compared to existing PET manufacturing processes. In addition, Threading-CO2 will enable the creation of a European value chain for sustainable PET textiles, from feedstock to final textile products in the clothing, automotive and sports/outdoor industries.	none given	none given	none given

LC-SC3-NZE-5-2019-2020	The LEILAC2 (Low Emissions Intensity Lime And Cement) project will pilot a breakthrough technology that aims to enable Europe’s cement and lime industries to capture their unavoidable process carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for minimal energy penalty (just compression).Responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions, low-cost, fast, and effective options are urgently needed for the cement and lime industries.Building on the success of the previously H2020 LEILAC1 project – capturing around 5% of a typical cement plant’s process CO2 emissions – the LEILAC2 project seeks to scale -up to around 20% of a typical cement plant’s process CO2 emissions in a deployable and scalable module; demonstrate the use of multiple fuel sources (particularly electricity with rapid ramping to enable renewable load-balancing); and show how it can be immediately, cheaply and incrementally or fully retrofitted to all cement plants.This will be achieved by building a demonstration plant alongside an operational cement plant in Europe: allowing 100ktpa of pure CO2 to be captured – and four business cases will be investigated for the near-term use or storage. Due to the purity of the captured CO2 (there are no new chemicals or additives), there is already interest from CO2 users. As an early mover in the heart of industrial Europe, LEILAC 2 would actively develop a CO2 hub, with onshore and offshore storage options being investigated. Engaging with all relevant stakeholders will be critical: CO2 producers and users, transport and storage operators, and most importantly the public – conducting Social Impact analysis, and extensive bespoke dissemination. The most feasible storage or use option will then result in a final business case being developed. The significant industrial partners involved in this project – contributing around €19m of funding – testifies to the interest of the cement and lime industries.	none given	none given	none given

LCE-15-2015	STEMM-CCS is an ambitious research and innovation project on geological carbon dioxide (CO2) storage that will deliver new insights, guidelines for best practice, and tools for all phases of the CO2 storage cycle at ocean Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) sites. It brings together the main operator (Shell) of the world’s first commercial scale full-chain ocean demonstration CCS project (Peterhead Project) with the leading scientific and academic researchers in the field of ocean CCS. The work performed in STEMM-CCS will add value to this existing operational programme, and fill gaps in future capability by providing generically applicable definitive guides, technologies and techniques informing how to select a site for CCS operations, how to undertake a risk assessment, how best to monitor the operations, how to provide information on fluxes and quantification of any leakage; necessary for the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and to guide mitigation/remediation actions. All of this information will be used to better communicate the case for offshore CCS, with a particular focus on communities directly and indirectly impacted. During STEMM-CCS we will perform a simulated CO2 leak beneath the surface sediments at the site to be used for CCS as part of the Peterhead project. This experiment will be used to test CO2 leak detection, leak quantification, impact assessment, and mitigation/remediation decision support techniques currently at the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) stage 4-5 and support their development to a higher TRL. In addition, using new geophysical approaches STEMM-CCS will develop tools to assess leakage from natural geological features (e.g. chimneys) and engineered structures such as abandoned wells. The Peterhead project will commence during the life of STEMM-CCS and so a unique aspect is the focus on a real-world ocean CCS site covering its initial phases of implementation, with direct involvement of industrial partners.	none given	none given	none given	F

LC-SC3-RES-13-2018	GECO will advance in the provision of cleaner and cost-effective non-carbon and sulphur emitting geothermal energy across Europe and the World. The core of this project is the application of an innovative technology, recently developed and proved successfully at pilot scale in Iceland, which can limit the production of emissions from geothermal plants by condensing and re-injecting gases or turning the emissions into commercial products. To both increase public acceptance and to generalise this approach, it will be applied by GECO in four distinct geothermal systems in four different European countries: 1) a high temperature basaltic reservoir in Iceland; 2) a high temperature gneiss reservoir in Italy; 3) a high temperature volcano-clastic reservoir in Turkey; and 4) a low temperature sedimentary reservoir in Germany. Gas capture and purification methods will be advanced by lowering consumption of resources, (in terms of electricity, water and chemicals) to deliver cheaper usable CO2 streams to third parties. Our approach to waste gas storage is to capture and inject the soluble gases in the exhaust stream as dissolved aqueous phase. This acidic gas-charged fluid provokes the dissolution of subsurface rocks, which increases the reservoir permeability, and promotes the fixation of the dissolved gases as stable mineral phases. This approach leads to the long-term environmentally friendly storage of waste gases, while it lowers considerably the cost of cleaning geothermal gas compared to standard industry solutions. A detailed and consistent monitoring program, geochemical analysis, and comprehensive modelling will allow characterising the reactivity and consequences of fluid flow in our geologically diverse field sites letting us create new and more accurate modelling tools to predict the reactions that occur in the subsurface in response to induced fluid flow. Finally, gas capture for reuse will be based on a second stage cleaning of the gas stream, through amine separation and burn and scrub processes, producing a CO2 stream with H2S levels below 1 ppm, which is the prerequisite for most utilisation pathways such as the ones that will be applied within the project.	none given	none given	none given	1

Three TRL6 pilot plants across Europe (Sweden, Germany and Spain) will be developed for testing under industrially relevant operating conditions. To maximise impact, these pilots will investigate the decarbonisation of hard to abate CO2 emission sources: flue gases from modern and future steel-making processes that rely mainly on electricity, emissions from modern cement plants that cannot escape from the use of limestone, and from Waste-to-Energy and Bio-CHP power plants that fill the gap in scalable dispatchable power and allow for negative emissions. These pilots will collectively generate a database of over 4000 hours of operation. This data will be interpreted using advanced modelling tools to enable the scale-up of the key CO2 capture reactors to fully commercial scale. Process techno-economic simulation, cluster optimisation and Life Cycle Analysis will be performed to maximise renewable energy inputs and materials circularities. All this information will form the basis for undertaking FEED studies for the demonstration plants in at least four EU locations. Innovative CFB-CaL solutions will be developed and tested to reach >99% CO2 capture rates, reaching for some process schemes costs as low as 30 €/tCO2 avoided and energy intensities with Specific Primary Energy Consumption per CO2 Avoided below 0.8 MJ/kgCO2 when O2 from electrolysers is readily available as an industrial commodity. Societal scientists and environmental economists will assess the social acceptability and preferences for “zero” or “negative emissions” CaL demonstration projects with novel methodologies that will elucidate and help to overcome current societal barriers for the implementation of CCUS.

Residual, hard-to-abate CO2 emissions from industrial processes such as steel and cement production will need to be captured, and wherever possible, processed and recycled into new products. The shift towards low carbon processes may disrupt existing industrial symbiosis pathways. If no alternative linkages are developed, this may lead to increasing emissions in downstream sectors. The transitions in steel and energy production lead to dwindling supplies of low carbon resources for cement production such as blast furnace slag and coal fly ash. The core concept of Carbon4Minerals addresses the simultaneous use of CO2 from industrial flue gases with current and future waste streams to unlock a vast stock of resources for innovative low carbon binders and construction materials (80-135% lower CO2-emissions than reference). A total of 8 industrial pilots will be built and operated across the process value chain from CO2 capture to cement production and low carbon construction products. This cross-sectorial innovation has the potential to reduce European CO2 emissions by 46 Mt/y, equal to 10% of the EU process industry emissions, while safeguarding the competitiveness of the European industry. A consortium of technology providers, producers and research partners will develop, test and demonstrate the processes. Technical, environmental and economic feasibility will be validated by an integrated assessment, in combination with the development of a service life test package tailored to these new products. Co-learning modules are developed to support industrial implementation and market introduction.	none given	none given	none given	F1

DMXTM will give Europe an edge in cost, environmental- and energy-efficient recovery of CO2. Downstream requirements are fully considered in studies of conditioning, transport and storage in North Sea aquifers. Waste Heat Recovery well combined with DMXTM process will allow reaching unprecedent CO2 Capture cost under 40 €/tCO2. Environmental, societal and stakeholder’s expectations are dealt from the beginning and all-along the project to ensure capability of deploying the CCS cluster on Dunkirk territory. DMXB solvent production will be optimised industrially and environmentally, through LCA.3D project is based on an EU holistic approach, building on previous an on-going CCS projects where many 3D partners are involved. 2025 full-scale CCS plant of 1 Mt CO2/y will be implemented from end of 3D project which will be an embryo of the future CCS cluster Dunkirk-North Sea 2035 (10 MtCO2/y). It is a major step in the transformation of energy- and CO2-intensive industries such as steel towards EU targets, with opportunities of job creation all along the CO2 CCS chain, notably for Dunkirk region economies and EU storage Hubs. 3D RTD and engineering providers would develop new markets aside from existing Oil & Gas, smoothing environmental and energy-depletion transition. Furthermore, quality of recovered CO2 through DMXTM process is compatible with food-grade markets.The project success relies on of a highly skilled and experienced consortium involving the complete chain of CCS and key transversal skills (LCA, SSH, KPI/TRL/cost assessment). 11 complementary partners from 6 European countries, of 2 academics (ETHZ, DTU), 4 technology providers (AP, GASSCO, IFPEN, UETIKON), 3 engineering companies (AXENS, John Cockerill, BREVIK), 2 end-users (AMF, TotalEnergies OneTech).	none given	none given	none given	F1

The main objectives of the proposed STEPWISE project is to scale up the technology for the CO2 capture from Blast Furnace Gases (BFG) with three overall demonstration goals in comparison to state-of-the-art amine-based technologies:•Higher carbon capture rate – i.e. lower carbon intensity, 85% reduction•Higher energy efficiency – i.e. lower energy consumption for capture (SPECCA ), 60% reduction•Better economy – i.e. lower cost of CO2 avoided, 25% reductionThe STEPWISE project will achieve this by the construction and the operation of a pilot test installation at a blast furnace site enabling the technology to reach TRL6 as the next step in the research, development and demonstration trajectory. Hence further reducing the risk of scaling up the technology. The STEPWISE project has the potential to decrease CO2 emissions worldwide by 2.1Gt/yr based on current emission levels. The conservative estimate is that by 2050, a potential cost saving of 750 times the research costs for this project will be realized each year every year, with a much larger potential. The overall objective is to secure jobs in the highly competitive European steel industry, a sector employing 360 thousand skilled people with an annual turnover of €170 billion.	none given	none given	none given

LC-SC3-NZE-5-2020	The EU has set a clear target to curb climate change: a climate neutral industry by 2050. For several crucial EU industries, this means that the CO2 they emit needs to be captured, utilised and/or stored. ConsenCUS aims to provide an industrial roadmap to a net-zero carbon future through “Carbon neutral clusters by electricity-based innovations in Capture, Utilisation and Storage”. We will demonstrate this concept by integrating a demonstration unit at major cement, magnesia and oil refining installations.The project presents technological innovations in the 3 main components of CCUS: (1) carbon capture based on alkali absorption, coupled to a novel electrodialysis cell (100 kg CO2/h), (2) conversion of CO2 to formate and formic acid for the current market, as well as emerging markets and (3) safe cyclic loading of CO2 into salt formations and aquifers for storage. The capture and conversion routes are unique in taking only electricity and water as consumables, while providing energy- and cost-efficiency beyond the current industrial standard (targets: TRL 6-7, 1.4 GJ and €34 per tonne CO2). Life cycle analysis and techno-economic evaluations will address how the innovations can be exploited, optimising environmental benefits while providing sound business cases for the three sectors participating and beyond.ConsenCUS also designs so-called CO2 clusters and networks in NW and SE Europe, around our demonstration sites. Our partners are spread across the CO2 value chain and will optimise such clusters based on an interconnected network of emitters fitted with (our) carbon capture and utilisation technology, other CO2 end users and geological storage. Joint infrastructure and operation will drive cost down and encourage collaboration. Importantly, we will create narratives to promote CCUS at communities surrounding these cluster components, by clarifying the social and environmental impact to locals, raising awareness alongside investigating their critical needs.	none given	none given	none given	F1

This spans demonstration of highly efficient CO2 capture technologies at TRL7 designed for optimal integration into an iron and steel plant and detailed consideration of the safety, environmental, societal, policy and business aspects for successful incorporation into the North Sea Port CCUS cluster.The above involves the elevation from TRL5 to TRL7 two highly energy-efficient high-temperature solid-sorbent CO2 capture technologies for decarbonising blast furnace gas and other carbon containing gases. In addition, the C4U project assesses the societal readiness and analyses the optimal design for full-scale integration of such technologies in industrial plants operated by the world’s largest iron and steel manufacturer, ArcelorMittal. For the first time, in combination, these two technologies will target up to 90% of the total emissions from the steel plant that come from a variety of sources. Using a whole system approach, we account for the impact of the quality of the captured CO2 on the safety and operation of the CO2 pipeline transportation and storage infrastructure whilst exploring utilisation opportunities based on integration into the North Sea Port CCUS industrial cluster. A candidate for the fourth Union list of Projects of Common Interest2, CO2TransPorts aims to establish the necessary infrastructure to facilitate the large-scale capture, transport and storage of CO2 from three of the most important ports in Europe; North Sea, Rotterdam and Antwerp and to transport and store up to 10 Mt/yr of CO2 per year.	none given	none given	none given	F

LCE-15-2015	To meet the ambitious EC target of an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) needs to move rapidly towards full scale implementation with geological storage solutions both on and offshore. Onshore storage offers increased flexibility and reduced infrastructure and monitoring costs. Enabling onshore storage will support management of decarbonisation strategies at territory level while enhancing security of energy supply and local economic activities, and securing jobs across Europe. However, successful onshore storage also requires some unique technical and societal challenges to be overcome. ENOS will provide crucial advances to help foster onshore CO2 storage across Europe through: 1) Developing, testing and demonstrating in the field, under “real-life conditions”, key technologies specifically adapted to onshore storage. 2) Contributing to the creation of a favourable environment for onshore storage across Europe.The ENOS site portfolio will provide a great opportunity for demonstration of technologies for safe and environmentally sound storage at relevant scale. Best practices will be developed using experience gained from the field experiments with the participation of local stakeholders and the lay public. This will produce improved integrated research outcomes and increase stakeholder understanding and confidence in CO2 storage. In this improved framework, ENOS will catalyse new onshore pilot and demonstration projects in new locations and geological settings across Europe, taking into account the site-specific and local socio-economic context.By developing technologies from TRL4/5 to TRL6 across the storage lifecycle, feeding the resultant knowledge and experience into training and education and cooperating at the pan-European and global level, ENOS will have a decisive impact on innovation and build the confidence needed for enabling onshore CO2 storage in Europe.	none given	none given	none given	F1

Solvent-based carbon capture is an important technology that can be readily adopted to many emission sources. Such technology can achieve high capture rates and deliver CO2 at high purity with a relatively low energy demand. In AURORA the open and non-proprietary CESAR1 solvent technology will be optimised and qualified for commercial deployment. The technology will be demonstrated at TRL7-8 for three CO2 intensive industries: refining, cement, and materials recycling, for which there are few other options to achieve climate neutrality. The partners will demonstrate negligible environmental impact (emissions being a potential issue for solvent technology), capture rates at 98%, and capture costs reduced by at least 47% compared to a benchmark process with the MEA solvent. This will be achieved due to the following innovations: 1) Holistic optimisation of solvent composition, process design, emission monitoring and control, and solvent management, 2) Validated models for use in commercial process simulators 3) enhanced waste heat integration with carbon capture for reduced external heat demand and operational costs 4) Improved and integrated advanced control system for reduced OPEX and optimised performances. These innovations will be integrated in four optimised capture processes and various aspects will be demonstrated in pilots of various size and complexity. The partners will ensure transferability of results to other CO2 intensive industries thanks to the large variations in CO2 source and developed clusters addressed in the project and a strong stakeholder participation. The project will also do full CCUS chain assessments for its end-users. It is noteworthy that the end-users are situated in two different regions of Europe offering different conditions for the implementation of CCUS value chains.	none given	none given	none given	F1

LEILAC will develop, build and operate a 240 tonne per day pilot plant demonstrating Direct Separation calcining technology which will capture over 95% of the process CO2 emissions (which is 60 % of total CO2 emissions) from both industries without significant energy or capital penalty.Direct Separation technology uses indirect heating in which the process CO2 and furnace combustion gases do not mix, resulting in the simple capture of high quality CO2. This innovation requires minimal changes to the conventional processes for cement, replacing the calciner in the Preheater-Calciner Tower. For lime there is no product contamination from the combustion gas. The technology can be used with alternative fuels and other capture technologies to achieve negative CO2 emissions. The project will also enable research into novel building materials with a reduced CO2 footprint, as well the upgrade of low value limestone fines and dust to high value lime applications.The high potential of the project is complemented by high deliverability. The requested grant will secure €8.8m of in-kind funding and support from the LEILAC consortium members, which include world leading engineering, cement, lime and R&D organisations. To accelerate further development, LEILAC will deliver a techno-economic roadmap, and comprehensive knowledge sharing activities including a visitor centre at the pilot site near Brussels. In order to reach the required 80% emissions reductions by 2050, CCS will need to be applied to 85% of European clinker production, and LEILAC is uniquely placed to allow Europe to achieve these targets in a timely, effective and efficient manner.	none given	none given	none given

LCE-18-2015	“This ERA-NET Cofund action is a transnational collaboration on CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) technology. CCS is regarded as one of the main routes for Europe to mitigate climate change. Our initiative “”Accelerating CCS technology as a new low-carbon energy vector”” (ACT) targets mainly the energy sector, but will also have benefits for energy intensive industries. The vision of ACT is to ensure that the energy sector makes a better contribution to climate protection by developing a collection of different CCS technologies ready for commercialisation. The consortium consists of 10 partners from 9 countries highly engaged to further development of CCS. The partner contribution for the first call is Euros 28.8 million. The consortium has received Letter of Support (LOS) from several important stakeholders in the CCS area in Europe.The main objective of ACT is to facilitate the emergence of CCS by significant transnational joint calls that will stimulate close cooperation between researchers and industry in order to accelerate the deployment of CCS. During these calls the consortium will address the most relevant RD&D gaps in the CCS chain. ACT will bring researchers and CCS stakeholders from a number of countries closer together in a joint effort that will generate momentum towards deployment of CCS technology in Europa.ACT will fund transnational R&D and innovation projects, facilitate meeting places for knowledge sharing, ensure synergies with pilots and demonstration projects, and invite to discussions with stakeholders in the CCS field. ACT will also ensure dissemination of results from ACT funded projects as part of an extensive outreach program targeting the research community, policymakers and the public in general. The result will be new knowledge which in turn will close gaps and accelerate CCS deployment. ACT has seven work packages, of which five are directly related to the first call and the last two are dedicated to additional activities.”	none given	none given	none given

LCE-25-2016	The FReSMe project, From Residual Steel gases to Methanol, will produce a methanol that will be demonstrated in ship transportation. This green fuel will be produced from CO2, recovered from an industrial Blast Furnace, and H2 recovered both from the blast furnace gas itself, as well as H2 produced by electrolysis. The two different sources of H2 will enable (i) maximum use of the current residual energy content of blast furnace gas, while at the same time (ii) demonstrating a forward technology path where low carbon or renewable H2 become more ubiquitous.The project will make use of the existing equipment from two pilot plants, one for the energy efficient separation of H2 and CO2 from blast furnace gas, and one for the production of methanol from a CO2-H2 syngas stream. This can be realised with a small amount of extra equipment, including supplemental H2 production from an electrolyser and a H2/N2 separation unit from commercially available equipment. Methanol is a high volume platform chemical of universal use in chemical industry as well as applicable for fuelling internal combustion engines. As such it provides a promising pathway for the large scale re-use of CO2 to decarbonize the transportation and chemical sectors in Europe and decrease the dependence on fossil fuel imports. Production of methanol from CO2 offers the unique combination of scale, efficiency and economic value necessary to achieve large scale carbon reduction targets.The pilot plant will run for a total of three months divided over three different runs with a nominal production rate of up to 50 kg/hr from an input of 800 m3/hr blast furnace gas. This size is commensurate with operation at TRL6, where all the essential steps in the process must be joined together in an industrial environment. The project will address the new integration options that this technology has within the Iron and Steel industry and contains supplementary and supporting research of underlying phenomena.	none given	none given	none given

The recognised challenge is to operate a stable and controllable gas turbine on hydrogen-rich syngas with emissions and process parameters similar to current state-of-the-art natural gas turbine engines. This objective will have severe implications on the combustion technology, hot gas path materials, the aerodynamic performance of turbomachinery components, and the system as a whole. The project will address these issues in Subprojects: SP1: Combustion; SP2: Materials; SP3: Turbomachinery and SP4: System analysis. In addition, the project will also look into gas turbine fuel flexibility, which will be demonstrated in order to allow the burning of back-up fuels, such as natural gas, without adversely affecting the reliability and availability. This is an important operational requirement to ensure optimum use of the gas turbine. The H2-IGCC project – coordinated by the European Turbine Network – gathers the whole value chain of gas turbine power plant technology, including Original Equipment Manufacturers, GT users/operators and research institutes with diverse key expertise needed to fulfil the objectives. Successful dissemination and implementation of the results will open up the market for IGCC with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), as it will improve the commercial competitiveness of IGCC technology. In particular, the integrated approach used in the project will enhance confidence and significantly reduce deployment times for the new technologies and concepts developed in this project. The vision is that this will allow for the deployment of high efficiency gas turbines in competitive IGCC plants with CCS technology by 2020.	none given	none given	none given	F

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is regarded as a key technology for the reduction of CO2 emissions from power plants and other sources at the European and international level. The EU will hence support a selected portfolio of demonstration projects to promote, at industrial scale, the implementation of CCS in Europe. Several of these projects aim to store CO2 below the seabed. However, little is known about the short-term and long-term impacts of CO2 storage on marine ecosystems even though CO2 has been stored sub-seabed in the North Sea (Sleipner) for over 13 years and for one year in the Barents Sea (Snøhvit). Against this background, the proposed ECO2 project will assess the likelihood of leakage and impact of leakage on marine ecosystems. In order to do so ECO2 will study a sub-seabed storage site in operation since 1996 (Sleipner, 90 m water depth), a recently opened site (Snøhvit, 2008, 330 m water depth), and a potential storage site located in the Polish sector of the Baltic Sea (B3 field site, 80 m water depth) covering the major geological settings to be used for the storage of CO2. Novel monitoring techniques will be applied to detect and quantify the fluxes of formation fluids, natural gas, and CO2 from storage sites and to develop appropriate and effective monitoring strategies. Field work at storage sites will be supported by modelling and laboratory experiments and complemented by process and monitoring studies at natural CO2 seeps that serve as analogues for potential CO2 leaks at storage sites. ECO2 will also investigate the perception of marine CCS in the public and develop effective means to disseminate the project results to stakeholders and policymakers. Finally, a best practice guide for the management of sub-seabed CO2 storage sites will be developed applying the precautionary principle and valuing the costs for monitoring and remediation.	none given	none given	none given	F

A group of 33 legal entities comprising 6 large European fossil fuel end users, 11 leading technology providers, and 16 high ranked RTD providers has agreed to establish the ENCAP consortium. ENCAP is organised as an integrated project (IP) having an impact of the results on the medium to longer term. The objective is to develop new pre-combustion CO2-capture technologies and processes for power generation based on fossil fuels – mainly hard coal, lignite and natural gas – that are conceived as affordable and clean, and which can be integrated with sustainable energy systems. The RTD activities are structured in 6 sub-projects that directly meet the stated objectives of the Work Programme (WP). These sub-projects are: SP1 Process and Power Systems SP2 Pre-Combustion Decarbonisation Technologies SP3 OxyFuel Boiler Technologies SP4 Chemical Looping Combustion SP5 High-Temperature Oxygen Generation for Power Cycles SP6 Novel Pre-Combustion Capture Concepts ENCAP will, in compliance with the stated objectives of the WP perform research and development on pre-combustion CO2 capture (incl. pre-normative and socio-economic impacts) and validate by testing technical and economic feasibility of concepts, and also interact with research-related networks and carry out training and dissemination. The project will deliver results that have the potential for a wide commercial exploitation with a time horizon 2015-2020. ENCAP will generate knowledge and results that enable power companies to decide to launch a new design project by 2008-2010 aimed at a large-scale demonstration plant. Main risks are scientific and technological. The work will enhance the competitiveness of European industry and contribute to the creation of a European Research Area for CO2 capture.				F1

DSAs have much promise and potential for CO2 storage, but despite their high potential storage capacity, they are not well studied. There is a need to increase confidence and maturity of understanding of these sites.PilotSTRATEGY will investigate DSA in detail in three regions of Southern Europe: Paris Basin (France), Lusitanian Basin (Portugal) and Ebro Basin (Spain). This will include acquisition of new data, detailed geo-characterisation, feasibility studies and preliminary design or pre-front end engineering and design studies. At the end of the project, the level of site characterisation in these three regions will be sufficient to allow a final investment decision to be made and for storage permitting and project approval to be obtained. In two further regions of Eastern Europe, West Macedonia (Greece) and Upper Silesia (Poland), PilotSTRATEGY will increase the maturity and confidence level of understanding of DSA storage resources, based on new available data, reprocessing of old data and new dynamic simulation studies. This will enable these regions to start planning to develop their storage resources.Recognising the social challenge of implementing geological CO2 storage, PilotSTRATEGY will take a systemic approach and analyse the factors that influence societal acceptance of storage sites, to develop methods for societal engagement. Regional stakeholders and the local public will be involved in developing recommendations and concepts as part of the pilot conceptualization and design. At the same time, PilotSTRATEGY will run a series of dialogues, “Talk with Authorities,” to support capacity building in local authorities and build policy makers’ awareness of geological CO2 storage, particularly the role of CCUS in just, net-zero transitions in all regions.	none given	none given	none given	F1

In addition, variable renewable generation faces high risks from electricity curtailment if renewable surplus is not used. Carbon capture and utilisation technologies that make use of industrial flue gas and renewable surplus will play a key role in the clean energy transition of industry. Various technologies exist but most are still quite demanding in terms of materials and energy, being costly and inefficient. CAPTUS key objective is to demonstrate sustainable, cost-effective and scalable pathways to produce high-added value energy carriers by valorising industrial carbon emissions and integrating renewable electricity surplus. To this end, 3 complete value chains will be demonstrated at 3 different demo-sites: (i) Bioprocess based on a two-stage fermentation to produce triglycerides in a steel plant, (ii) Lipids-rich microalgae cultivation followed by hydrothermal liquefaction to produce bio-oils in a chemical plant, and (iii) Electrochemical reduction of CO2 to produce formic acid in a cement plant. The proposed technologies will be tested at TRL7, and the obtained energy carriers will be validated by upgrading studies. CAPTUS will also validate solutions regarding economic, environmental, societal and geo-political criteria, contributing to the development of novel business models, guidelines and strategies. CAPTUS has been structured in 8 WP, combining R&D activities, project management and demonstration activities. CAPTUS addresses this complex challenge by gathering a competitive consortium of 18 partners from 8 EU countries.

ERC-2018-SyG	The SCOPE project will introduce a ground-breaking approach to use renewable energy in three major industrial reactions: 1) N2 fixation, 2) CH4 valorization and 3) CO2 conversion to liquid solar fuels. We will use non-thermal plasma, which has large potential to convert these small (low reactive) molecules under near ambient temperature and pressure, particularly for distributed processes based on renewable energy. The new processes have drastically lower carbon footprint (up to over 90% with respect to current ones). Furthermore, CO2 conversion is crucial for a world-based distribution of renewable energy. However, the selectivity and energy efficiency of plasma technologies for these reactions are too low, making radically new approaches necessary. The Project idea is to realize a highly innovative approach for non-thermal plasma symbiosis with catalysis. By inducing excited states in solid catalysts to work in synergy with the excited short-lived plasma species, we introduce a brand new idea for catalyst-plasma symbiosis. In addition, we introduce a fully new concept of nano-/micro-plasma array through a novel electrode design, to generate the plasma at the catalyst surface, thereby overcoming long distance transport. By embedding ferro-magnetic nano-domains in the catalyst support and inducing radiofrequency heating, we create fast temperature modulations directly at the catalyst active sites. Combining these elements, the project will overcome the actual limits and enhance the selectivity and energy efficiency to levels suitable for exploitation. This requires a synergy over different scale elements: nano at catalyst, micro at the level of modelling plasma generated species, milli at the reactor scale and mega at the plant level for sustainability-driven opportunity guidance and impact assessment by Life-Cycle-Assessment. The synergy value derives from the integration of the PI competencies over this entire dimensional-scale level.	none given	none given	none given

The realization of 6 process steps in a single reactor allows to achieve unprecedented energy efficiency with a project target to demonstrate >85% (HHV) at the bioPMR level. The bioPMR technology enables direct delivery of purified and pressurized H2 (30 bar). BioPMR will be coupled with CO2 liquefaction to enable direct production of food-grade CO2. Coupling the liquefaction unit allows for higher hydrogen recovery and liquid CO2 production as the off-gas from the liquefaction process will be recycled back to the bioPMR unit. CARMA-H2 will demonstrate the bioPMR technology integrated with CO2 liquefaction at the existing Arazuri wastewater treatment plant in the region of Navarra in Spain. The demonstration plant will be operated for at least 4000 h, and produce 500 kg/day of hydrogen and above 4000 kg/day of food-grade CO2. To facilitate the demonstration CARMA-H2 will install 1) a pre-treatment system for biogas compression and removal of sulphur and other impurities, 2) two bioPMR modules which will operate directly on biogas (CO2 > 40 vol.%), and 3) an integrated CO2 liquefaction unit. The demonstration plant will be located in Ebro Valley Hydrogen Corridor, and the project aims to secure off-take of the produced hydrogen and liquid CO2 during operation. The overall system will be controlled and analysed by an advanced control system and an associated digital twin that will be developed in the project. The wastewater plant is currently operating a biogas production plant of >4 MW from which the biogas is utilized for power generation. The achievements in CARMA-H2 will be an important proof of technological feasibility advancing the technology from TRL5 to TRL7.	none given	none given	none given	F1

LC-SC3-NZE-1-2018	Power supply and carbon-intensive industries account for a large share of CO2 emissions. Shifting towards a low-carbon economy requires cost-effective carbon capture solutions to be developed, tested and deployed. Current solutions do not offer sufficient performances. Adsorption processes are promising alternatives for capturing CO2 from power plants and other energy intensive industries as cement, steel, or petrochemical industries. In this regard, Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are a widely studied class of porous adsorbents that offer tremendous potential, owing to their large CO2 adsorption capacity and high CO2 affinity. However, the performances of MOF-based carbon capture technologies have not been fully evaluated. MOF4AIR gathers 14 partners from 8 countries to develop and demonstrate the performances of MOF-based CO2 capture technologies in power plants and energy intensive industries. After identifying the best MOFs in WP1 and validating them through tests (e.g. stability and selectivity) in WP2, the most promising will be produced at larger scale and shaped in WP3. WP4 will conduct simulations to study MOFs behaviours in two adsorption processes: VPSA and MBTSA and optimise them. Both solutions will be tested at lab scale in WP5. In WP6, 3 demonstration sites across Europe will prove the cost-efficiency and reliability of MOF-based carbon capture in CO2 intensive sectors: power supply, refineries and waste incineration. To ensure a wide development of the solutions developed, WP7 will focus on techno-economic analysis, LCA and WP8 on social acceptance and replicability. MOF4AIR aims to foster the uptake of CCS technologies by providing a TRL6-reliable solution matching end users’ needs, notably by cutting CCS energy penalty by more than 10%. The solutions developed will be highly replicable thanks to the consideration of a wide range of carbon intensive sectors and clusters, notably through the project’s Industrial Cluster Board.	none given	none given	none given	1

B) To advance the development of this technology, i.e. chemical-looping combustion with integrated CO2 capture (CLC-CCS), from TRL4 via TRL5 and 6 to TRL7 in joint collaboration with industrial end users. This involves a) realising the potentiality of the technology (present at TRL4), b) system prototype demonstration, modified from prior experience (TRL4), taken through all stages, from synthesising via systems integration to demonstration and testing in an operational environment typical of a modern petroleum refinery (TRL7), and c) integrated assessment, including a plausible model case extending the CO2 capture system to (shared) local/regional transport and storage needs. PURPOSE: To reveal emerging opportunities for the technology with the prospective avenues for its wider deployment in energy-intensive industry, initially via steam generation and auxiliary systems in petroleum refineries in Europe and China. In order to fulfil the stated objectives and the related scientific and technological goals, technological frontiers will be pushed through three stages of development with specific milestones (TRL5,6,7) .

At the heart of the WaterProof concept is an electrochemical process that converts CO2, originating from waste incineration and wastewater processing, to produce formic acid. This reaction is paired with the generation of high-energy oxidants, which are used to remove persistent contaminants from wastewater thereby contributing to a clean water cycle with zero-waste. The energy to run the electrochemical process is provided by waste incineration facility. The formic acid is a feedstock for the production of Acidic Deep Eutectic Solvents (ADES). These ADES are used to extract precious metals from water treatment sludge and incinerator ash. Additionally, the formic acid is used for fish leather tanning to sustainably produce fish leather and will be tested in consumer cleaning products. The WaterProof technology results in a GHG reduction based on CO2 utilization, replacement of fossil feedstock and by industrial electrification. In the WaterProof project, a TRL 6 plant is constructed, including innovative downstream processing. The conversion of CO2 from wastewater treatment and the CO2 captured at a waste incinerator is demonstrated in two consecutive campaigns. To maximize impact of the WaterProof technology, life-cycle assessments and a full business case analysis are initiated in the early stage of the project to provide targets for technology development. A marketing and deployment strategy is developed to ensure social acceptance of the WaterProof technology. Besides the reduction of GHG emissions, WaterProof will have societal impact by, creating awareness trough interaction with policy makers and civil society and the creation of new jobs in innovative fields. By targeting an industry as essential as waste(water) treatment, WaterProof aims to create a concept that can impact society and climate on a big scale.	none given	none given	none given

The technology was validated in TRL5 via a Horizon 2020 project (BioMates), which involved a two-step valorization of lignocellulosic biomass. In ABATE, residual lignocellulosic biomass is firstly converted into fast pyrolysis bio-oil (FPBO) and bio-char. CO2 from the FPBO production will be sequestrated and converted into methanol, enabling the mitigation of GHG emissions of the pyrolysis step as well as side-production of green methanol. Secondly, the FPBO is stabilized into a high-quality advanced bio-based intermediate, which can be directly fed in conventional refinery plants, enabling the direct decarbonization of the refining sector as well as of the transportation fuels and chemicals. The stabilization will be performed via a single hydroprocessing step which incorporates several innovation systems and designs (i.e. a novel catalytic system abiding to FPBO acidity and solids content, optimal energy integration, as well as its integration with green H2 and a biochemical CCU unit). The ABATE end use will be demonstrated via co-feeding with refinery intermediates, rendering hybrid marine and aviation transport fuels, as well as feasibility and business plans. ABATE technology may satisfy over 55% and 5% of the EU renewable marine and aviation fuels demand by 2035, respectively. The ABATE project aims to scale-up and intensify the technology to reach 90%-120% GHG emission reduction (according to RED) in industrial scale by optimized processes and their integration with RES components (i.e. green H2) minimizing the use of fossil energy inputs.	none given	none given	none given	F

The scientific background of the innovation is solid. We have a successful lab prototype and many publications describing parts of the work in journals including Science. The eSMR technology can allow very compact reactor designs, up to 100 times smaller than current SMR plants, which combined with higher energy efficiency and no directly associated CO2 emission, makes the eSMR reactor extremely commercially attractive for synthesis gas production. The technology is also well suited to add additional hydrogen and CO2 to increase production. The cost-efficient (we target a similar cost level as biogas) and scalable (in addition relevance or thousands of biogas sites, we can scale through adding hydrogen and CO2) solution can be built as a realistic alternative to fossil methanol production. In the project Topsoe delivers the process plant to Gasnor (both a biogas owner and Norway´s largest provider of LNG) that in turn want to market sustainable ship fuels. We have a first customer in the project, that are currently building two feeder container vessels running on methanol (one of Europe´s leading ship owners Wilhelmsen, participating through their sustainable shipping unit TOPEKA). With the assistance on leading research groups covering both optimizing resource streams (NTNU) and ecosystem simulations (CERTH), we develop a comprehensive plan to pathways of bringing eSMR-based plant designs to efficient and widespread use in Europa.	none given	none given	none given	F

LCE-29-2017	Calcium looping (CaL) is one of the most promising technologies for CO2 capture in cement plants. The process comprises two basic steps: (1) “carbonation” of CaO to form CaCO3 in a reactor operating around 650°C; (2) oxyfuel calcination in a reactor operating at 920-950°C, which makes the CaO available again and generates a gas stream of nearly-pure CO2.The CLEANKER project aims at demonstrating at TRL7 the CaL concept in a configuration highly integrated with the cement production process, making use of entrained flow reactors. The highly integrated configuration allows achieving high energy efficiencies, with CO2 capture efficiency over 90%. The adoption of entrained flow gas-solid reactors is particularly suitable – and familiar – to the cement industry.The core activity of the project is the design, construction and operation of a CaL demonstration system comprising the entrained-flow carbonator (the CO2 absorber) and the entrained-flow oxyfuel calciner (the sorbent regenerator). This demonstration system will capture the CO2 from a portion of the flue gas of the cement plant in Vernasca (Italy) operated by Buzzi Unicem, using as CO2 sorbent the same raw meal used for clinker production. Other activities will include: (i) screening of different raw meals to assess their properties as CO2 sorbent, (ii) reactors and process modelling, (iii) scale-up study, (iv) economic analysis, (v) life cycle assessment, (vi) CO2 transport, storage and utilization study (vii) demonstration of the complete value chain, including mineral carbonation of waste ash with the CO2 captured at Vernasca; (viii) exploitation study for the demonstration of the technology at TRL>7 and for its first commercial exploitation based on CO2 transport and storage opportunities.	none given	none given	none given

To address and alleviate potential public concerns about the safety and environmental impact of geological storage, a better understanding of the science of CO2 sequestration is needed. The CO2SINK integrated project aims at developing this basis by injection of CO2 into a saline aquifer underneath the city of Ketzin near Berlin. It involves extensive monitoring of the fate of the injected CO2 using a broad range of geophysical and geochemical techniques, the developing and benchmarking of numerical models, and the definition of risk assessment strategies. All of this is accompanied by a public outreach programme. The Ketzin gas storage site has a number of appealing features: – The existing surface infrastructure can be utilised for CO2SINK which greatly reduces need for new developments. – The geology at the site is known and representative of large parts of Europe, facilitating the transfer of results. – The local political community strongly supports the project, and permitting authorities have been involved in the project definition. The test site, being close to a metropolitan area, provides a unique opportunity to develop a European showcase for onshore CO2 storage. It will accelerate the public acceptance of geological storage of CO2 as a greenhouse gas mitigation option for the benefit of European societies.				F

SPIRE-02-2014	Methanol represents one of the most common and widespread platform chemicals and precursors for further synthesis, and is traditionally produced from synthesis gas, obtained by the reforming of natural gas. This methanol synthesis process operates in a stable, high-throughput manner and demands low carbon dioxide/carbon monoxide ratios in feed. The current project, nonetheless, is to encompass flexible (in operation and feed) methanol synthesis with high carbon dioxide concentration-streams as an input, the latter originating from thermal power stations using fossil fuels. The demonstrational technology may alternatively be intended for the application of existing biomass combustion and gasification system streams, operating for the production of electric/thermal energy, as opposed to chemical synthesis. The other synthesis reactant, hydrogen, is to originate from water hydrolysis using surplus energy, which would be conversely difficult to return to the grid. The three main benefits of the process would thus be as follows; the mitigation of exhaust carbon dioxide and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (1), stabilisation of electric grid by the consumption of the electric energy at its peaks (2), and the production of methanol as a versatile chemical for further conversion (3). Implications of such technology would have a strong connection to the pending exploration of alternative energy carriers and their synthesis as opposed to conventional resources of fuels and chemicals. The principal technological challenge to be overcome is anticipated to be the development of a suitable catalyst and process, which would allow for high-CO2-content feeds, relatively transient operation (save for an upstream buffering technology is developed), and economically viable operating conditions. The primary advantages of this technology are to be its flexibility, medium-scale operation (deployed “at exhaust location”), and facile integration capacities.	none given	none given	none given	F

This system will be developed, validated, and demonstrated on shore with a typical engine for marine applications in the range of 2 MW (TRL 6). The HyMethShip system will achieve a reduction in CO2 of more than 97% and will practically eliminate SOx and PM emissions. NOx emissions will be reduced by more than 80%, significantly below the IMO Tier III limit. The energy efficiency of the HyMethShip system is more than 45% better than the best available technology approach (renewable methanol as fuel coupled with conventional post-combustion carbon capturing).The HyMethShip system innovatively combines a membrane reactor, a CO2 capture system, a storage system for CO2 and methanol as well as a hydrogen-fueled combustion engine into one system. The proposed solution reforms methanol to hydrogen, which is then burned in a conventional reciprocating engine that has been upgraded to burn multiple fuel types and specially optimized for hydrogen use. The HyMethShip project will undertake risk and safety assessments to ensure that the system fulfills safety requirements for on-board use. It will also take into account the rules and regulations under development for low flashpoint fuels.The cost effectiveness of the system will be assessed for different ship types and operational cases. For medium and long distance waterborne transport, the HyMethShip concept is considered the best approach available that achieves this level of CO2 reduction and is economically feasible.The HyMethShip consortium includes a globally operating shipping company, a major shipyard, a ship classification society, research institutes and universities, and equipment manufacturers. Further stakeholders will be represented in the External Expert Advisory Board and will be addressed by dissemination activities respectively.	none given	none given	none given

The first step towards Europe’s goal of becoming a hydrogen economy requires the manufacture of hydrogen from fossil fuels. This can be done cost-effectively on a large scale without GHG emissions, if the resultant CO2 can be securely geologically stored. Europe has in vested large research efforts in CO2 geological storage monitoring in several storage types, gaining experience with industrial-scale projects (Sleipner, Weyburn), and smaller ‘subsurface laboratories’ (Ketzin, K12B and Tarnow). A new project (In Salah) now provides the opportunity to build on this work with a new industrial-scale geological storage project. For CO2 storage to qualify in Emission Trading Schemes, R&D efforts are required to develop a sound basis for monitoring and verification. This will provide assurance of long-term storage security and establish standardized site certification guidelines for policy makers, regulators and industry. CChReMoVe is a consortium of industrial, research and service organizations with experience in CO2 geological storage. The consortium proposes a range of monitoring techniques, applied over an integrated portfolio of storage sites (including natural analogues), which will develop: 1) Methods for base-line site evaluation 2) New tools to monitor storage and po ssible well and surface leakage 3) New tolls to predict and model long term storage behaviour and risks 4) A rigorous risk assessment methodology for a variety of sites and time-scales 5) Guidelines for best practice for the industry, policy makers and regulators. This will encourage wide-spread application of CO2 geological storage in Europe and neighbouring countries.				F1

FETPROACT-01-2016	A novel concept for a photo-electro-catalytic (PEC) cell able to directly convert water and CO2 into fuels and chemicals (CO2 reduction) and oxygen (water oxidation) using exclusively solar energy will be designed, built, validated, and optimized. The cell will be constructed from cheap multifunction photo-electrodes able to transform sun irradiation into an electrochemical potential difference (expected efficiency > 12%); ultra-thin layers and nanoparticles of metal or metal oxide catalysts for both half-cell reactions (expected efficiency > 90%); and stateof- the-art membrane technology for gas/liquid/products separation to match a theoretical target solar to fuels efficiency above 10%. All parts will be assembled to maximize performance in pH > 7 solution and moderate temperatures (50-80 ºC) as to take advantage of the high stability and favorable kinetics of constituent materials in these conditions. Achieving this goal we will improve the state-of-the-art of all components for the sake of cell integration:1) Surface sciences: metal and metal oxide catalysts (crystals or nanostructures grown on metals or silicon) will be characterized for water oxidation and CO2 reduction through atomically resolved experiments (scanning probe microscopy) and spatially-averaged surface techniques including surface analysis before, after and in operando electrochemical reactions. Activity and performance will be correlated to composition, thickness, structure and support as to determine the optimum parameters for device integration.2) Photoelectrodes: This unique surface knowledge will be transferred to the processing of catalytic nanostructures deposited on semiconductors through different methods to match the surface chemistry results through viable up-scaling processes. Multiple thermodynamic and kinetic techniques will be used to characterize and optimize the performance of the interfaces with spectroscopy and photo-electrochemistry tools to identify best matching between light absorbers and chemical catalysts along optimum working conditions (pH, temperature, pressure).3) Modeling: Materials, catalysts and processes will be modeled with computational methods as a pivotal tool to understand and to bring photo-catalytic-electrodes to their theoretical limits in terms of performance.The selected optimum materials and environmental conditions as defined from these parallel studies will be integrated into a PEC cell prototype. This design will include ion exchange membranes and gas diffusion electrodes for product separation.

NMBP-20-2017	Atmospheric warming due to greenhouse gases has become a serious global concern. The shifting from fossil fuel to renewable energy has been slow mostly due to technological barriers. Meanwhile, the demand for energy is growing rapidly which makes fossil fuel consumptions inevitable, in spite of their high emission of GHC. Therefore, there is need for an immediate-medium term solutions to address CO2 emission of fossil fuel plants fast and in a cost effective way. CO2 capture technologies recognized one of the direct answers to this problem. Currently, CO2 capture technologies have been adopted in different parts of the world but still there is a long way to reach their full potential. Some of the most important barriers are large energy requirements and high cost. Advanced material solutions can play a significant role in price reduction and increase of efficiency and enable industries to use fossil fuel while reduce emission of GHC drastically.GENESIS project aims to develop and upscale some of the most promising material for CO2 capture and demonstrate their performance, durability and reliability in industrial environments. GENESIS is build upon two previous ambitious EU projects that developed IPOSS and MOF membrane systems with a great performance for CC. GENESIS will take these technologies a step further by scaling up the most promising ones by demonstrating in relevant 0.45 MWe capture process for pre-combustion and 2 post-combustion applications and achieve at least 90% of CO2 recovery at a cost of 15€/MWh in two carbon intensive industries (Cemex & Arcelormittal). GENESIS is building upon a multidisciplinary team of European technology centers, large enterprises, SMEs in a cross-border project. This will guarantee that the successful implementation of GENESIS and ensure the ambitious objectives will be achieved and impact will be realized in terms of a rapid market penetration of the developed materials and systems by overcoming technological barriers.	none given	none given	none given	F1

Further, gas separation membrane units are safer, environmentally friendly and, in general, have smaller physical footprints than other types of plants like amine stripping.In this way this project aims at a quantum leap in energy reduction for CO2 separation with associated cost efficiency and environmental impact reduction.The developed membranes will allow CO2 capture at prices below 15 €/ton CO2 (≈ 10-15 €/MWh), amply meeting the targets of the European SET plan (90% of CO2 recovery at a cost lower than 25€/MWh). This will be underpinned experimentally as well as through conceptual process designs and economic projections by the industrial partners.By developing optimized M4s, we will combine: i) easy manufacturing, ii) high fluxes per unit volume and iii) high selectivity through advanced material tailoring. The main barriers that we will take away are the optimization of the MOF-polymer interaction and selective transport through the composite, where chemical compatibility, filler morphology and dispersion, and polymer rigidity all play a key role.Innovatively the project will be the first systematic, integral study into this type of membranes with investigations at all relevant length scales; including the careful design of the polymer(s) and the tuning of MOF crystals targeting the application in M4’s and the design of the separation process.”	none given	none given	none given	F

Two different strategies will be followed and demonstrated at three different end users facilities to achieve CO2 separation:- A combination of Mixed Matrix Membranes (MMM) for pre- and post-combustion, – A combination of metallic membranes and sorbents into an advanced Membrane Assisted Sorption Enhanced Reforming (MA-SER) process for pure H2 production with integrated CO2 captureIn both cases, a significant decrease of the total cost of CO2 capture will be achieved. MEMBER targets CO2 capture technologies that separate >90% CO2 at a cost below 40€/ton for post combustion and below 30€/ton for pre-combustion and H2 production. To achieve this objective, MEMBER has been built on the basis of the best materials and technologies developed in three former FP7 projects, ASCENT, M4CO2 and FluidCELL. In particular, special attention will be paid to the manufacturing processes scale up of key materials and products such as Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs), polymers, membranes and sorbents. At the end of the project we will deliver a robust demonstration of the new materials at real conditions (TRL 6) by designing, building, operating and validating three prototype systems tested at industrial relevant conditions:- Prototype A targeted for pre-combustion in a gasification power plant using MMM at the facilities of CENER (BIO-CCS). – Prototype B targeted for post-combustion in power plants using MMM at the facilities of GALP.- Prototype C targeted for pure hydrogen production with integrated CO2 capture using (MA-SER) at the facilities of IFE-HyNor	none given	none given	none given	F1

A circular-economy-approach is enabled: the CO2 produced by cement manufacturing is re-used in a significant part within the plant itself to produce better cement-related products entailing less energy intensity and related CO2 emissions by a quadratic effect.Ionic liquids (bare or amine-functionalised) will be the key technological playground for the efficient and cost-effective (<30 €/ton) purification of CO2 to a purity grade sufficient for the above mentioned utilisation paths. A dedicated pilot plant (flue gas flow rate: 50 Nm3/h) will be developed, based on the knowledge-based selection of the best ionic-liquids composition and operating conditions.Within a final TRL 6 integrated system demo campaign, the thereby derived CO2 will be utilised in parallel to: -) promote the precipitation of nano-CaCO3 powders which act as strength enhancer and accelerator of the hydration rate.-) synthesize through electrocatalytic and catalytic pathways formic acid, oxalic acid and glycine to be used as hardening acceleration promoters, grinding aids or ionic liquids additives, respectively. Distinctive features of the RECODE approach are the high process intensification and scale-up-ability; the use of low-grade heat sources; the meaningful reduction of CO2 emissions (>20% accounting for direct and indirect means) and the good market potential of their products at a mass production scale.The first two years of the project will be focused on the development of key functional materials and process units at TRL 4-5, the third year on the assembly of single-process lines certified at TRL 5-6, and the fourth year on the assembly and testing at a cement manufacturing site (TITAN) of the TRL 6 integrated CO2 process.	none given	none given	none given

The goal of the NEMESIS project is to lay the groundwork for a novel generation of numerical simulators tackling all of the above difficulties at once. This will require the combination of skills and knowledge resulting from the synergy of the PIs, covering distinct and extremely technical fields of mathematics: numerical analysis, analysis of nonlinear PDEs, and scientific computing. The research program is structured into four tightly interconnected clusters, whose goals are: the development of Polytopal Exterior Calculus (PEC), a general theory of discrete Hilbert complexes on polytopal meshes; the design of innovative strategies to boost efficiency, embedded into a general abstract Multilevel Solvers Convergence Framework (MSCF); the extension of the above tools to challenging nonlinear and hybrid-dimensional problems through Discrete Functional Analysis (DFA) tools; the demonstration through proof-of-concept applications in magnetohydrodynamics (e.g., nuclear reactor models or aluminum smelting) and geological flows (e.g., flows of gas/liquid mixtures in underground reservoirs with fractures, as occurring in CO2 storage). This project will bring key advances in numerical analysis through the introduction of entirely novel paradigms such as the PEC and DFA, and in scientific computing through MSCF. The novel mathematical tools developed in the project will break long-standing barriers in engineering and applied sciences, and will be implemented in a practitioner-oriented open-source library that will boost design and prediction capabilities in these fields.	none given	none given	none given

SPIRE-08-2017	The EU process industry needs to become less dependent of fossils as source of carbon, and – at the same time – to reduce the greenhouse effect by decarbonizing the economy. Carbon4PUR will tackle the two challenges at the same time by transforming the CO2/CO containing flue gas streams of the energy-intensive industry into higher value intermediates for market-oriented consumer products. The industrially driven, multidisciplinary consortium will develop and demonstrate a novel process based on direct chemical flue gas mixture conversion, avoiding expensive physical separation, thus substantially reducing the carbon footprint, and also contributing to high monetary savings. Both the consortium and the work are organized along the full value chain starting with the provision and conditioning of industrial emissions from a steel to a chemical company in line with the concept of industrial symbiosis, going through the transformation into chemical building blocks which will be further transformed into polymer intermediates and flow into desired sustainable polyurethane applications of rigid foams and coatings. LCA and technology evaluation will be done and replication strategies to transfer the technology to other applications will be elaborated. The distinctive feature of the developed process is avoiding resource-intense separation of the gas components before the synthesis, and developing a chemo-catalytic process to deal directly with the gas mixture instead. The challenge and innovation is coming up with an adjustable process in terms of on-purpose and demand tailor-made production of required products, taking into account all variables at the same time: the available flue gases characteristic from the steel plant, material and process parameters, and the market requirements for the end product, thus flexibly involving the whole value chain with best results and possibly lower the prices.	none given	none given	none given	F

The recent development of Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) may prove a major milestone in achieving these goals. MACADEMIA project is an extension to an FP6 STREP (DeSANNS) which highlighted some MOF materials for CO2 capture and storage. It will expand and continue this work on a much larger scale. The three Total branches will focus on bringing MOFs to key market sectors – gas separation and storage, liquid separation and catalysis. The Total-led consortium, with 11 academic partners from across EU, one leading South Korean partner, among world leaders among their particular domain of MOF science, will be contributing to the project, with a dedicated management partner. MACADEMIA intends to produce new MOFs and optimise those already of promising interest, characterise MOFs using specialised techniques, test MOFs using a three-tiered process, use predictive modelling and demonstrate the use of MOFs in key industrial processes. It will target separation processes in gas / vapour phase (propene/propane, acid gases separation, CO2 and H2 purification), in liquid phase (xylene separations, recovery of N- and/or S-compounds from hydrocarbons), and in catalysis (Lewis-acid MOFs as catalysts for epoxide polymerization, redox-active MOFs as catalysts for hydrocarbon autoxidation). Several of MACADEMIA’s targets are expected to reach pilot scale whereas a blue sky approach will be taken for others giving room for innovation and step change. An attractive project, it is open to young researchers with industrially coordinated research to counterbalance competition from USA and Japan and able to contribute to a strong ERA.	none given	none given	none given	F

The primary objective is to reduce the cost of CO2 capture from current levels to ?20-30 per tonne. Capture and storage of CO2 with H2 production is a large-scale option for long-term CO2 emissions reduction in Europe. While some CO2 capture technology integrated with H2 production is available today the main barrier to its use is its high cost and lack of proper integration with H2-based power production and high pressure, high purity vehicle fuel applications. This project plans to overcome these barriers targeting CO2-free power production and H2 for vehicle fuel. It will focus on gaseous fuels, which are a major component of the Europe an energy system. CACHET will be devoted to researching four promising technologies: advanced steam methane reforming, redox technologies, metal membranes and sorption enhanced water gas shift. By the end of the project the technologies should be ready for pilot-unit testing followed by pre-commercial demonstration, with commercial use foreseeable by ca. 2015. The project will also research the integration of the CO2 capture technologies with H2 production systems for power generation and fuel applications . All the technologies will be evaluated and costed on a consistent, integrated basis.

Deployment of CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) from different industrial sectors across Europe is a powerful fast track approach to abate CO2 emissions. CO2 transport and injection are the essential links between capture sites and storage reservoirs. The goal of ENCASE is to contribute to a safer, more cost-effective, and environmentally friendly CO2 transport and well injection. ENCASE aims to continuously improve 7 world-leading CCS-related research infrastructures (RIs) in the consortium with state-of-the-art scientific instruments, tools and methods to be the backbone for research and development of CCS technologies. Co-development of technologies will enhance the capability of RIs, increase RI personnel’s competence and enable these RIs to better address and close key knowledge gaps. ENCASE will safeguard and increase the competitiveness of these European RIs through strong collaboration with the CCS infrastructure operators, service companies, academia, and SMEs. The RIs will be available for the industry/SMEs for prototyping their new equipment/technology, e.g., pumping concepts, metering technologies, and simulator tools for monitoring, controlling and predicting the CO2 streams with impurities. The high-quality data produced in ENCASE will lift the knowledge level of industry and academia, which will contribute to the development of innovative companies and the education of future workforce for the CCS industry. Social innovation labs and co-creation initiatives will be developed by involving different stakeholders to address specific societal needs and better integrate the RIs in the local communities. Our success will improve the design and operation of CCS infrastructures and meet the EU climate goals.

Existing methods (adsorption, non selective cooling) are not very cost- and energy effective: up to 25% consumption of the produced energy. CO2 separation through membranes will consume much less energy (8%), but suitable, reliable and economical membranes are currently non-existing. The objective is to develop optimal nanostructured membranes and installations for CO2 capture from power plants below 20 euro/ton with a build-in, smart, diagnostic technique. The consortium of 26 partners including 7 SMEs involves 14 countries. Five innovative membrane materials will be developed simultaneously. The project organisation will stimulate cross-fertilisation for achieving major breakthroughs. For this an integration, modelling and a diagnostics task is included and cooperation with and field-testing by 6 future end-users will guarantee the realistic outcome of the material research. The cost price for the membranes will be a factor 5 lower by increasing the performance through radical innovations in membrane technology: a spin-coated sub-micron layer, oriented nano-spurs with active groups through the layer of the membrane and inherent oxygen stability by the introduction of active groups as block-copolymers in the membrane backbone. Smart design modules, for long life, low degradation and contamination combined with integrated performance monitoring, will be developed and tested in the laboratory and in the field.

Early deployment is seen in natural gas steam generation, where gas-to-steam efficiency penalty with CLC is below 1%-point compared to 15%-points with amine scrubbing and 8%-points with oxyfuel combustion, all for 95% capture rate. Reduction of the CO2 avoidance cost of 60% compared to amine scrubbing post combustion capture results from higher efficiency. An absolute necessity for the scale-up of reactors for this technology is the availability of adequate oxygen carrier material. SUCCESS will assure scale-up of oxygen-carrier production to the 100 tonne scale, as well as scale up of technology to 1 MW. Industrially available raw materials will be used to produce environmentally sound oxygen carriers based on two highly successful materials developed of the previous INNOCUOUS project. The work includes,i) applying the oxygen carrier production methods at industrially required scale and assuring the adequate performance,ii) development of standard for mechanical stability,iii) validation operation in four available smaller pilots <150 kW, of significantly different designiv) operation with gaseous fuels in a 1 MW pilot plant, representing a scale up of the state of art by one order of magnitude.v) detailed studies of reaction mechanisms and fluid-dynamicsvi) use of results in optimization of a previous design for a 10 MW demonstration plant and techno-economic study of full-scale plantvii) assessment of health, safety and environmental issues associated with oxygen carrier handling including reuse or recycling strategies.viii) quotations for production of >100 tonnes of materialCombined efforts of key European developers of CLC technology will assure the continued European leadership in this development and bring the technology a major step towards commercialization.	none given	none given	none given	F1

The corresponding process will comprise two steps: a first one for CO2 and H2S reduction into COS and a second step for COS decomposition into the platform molecule CO and Claus grade sulphur. To demonstrate its valorisation potential, CO will be converted into green methanol as final product using a third reaction. The e-CODUCT consortium is composed of nine entities including industrial and academic partners spanning a complete value chain from material suppliers and engineers to modelling experts and technology providers. e-CODUCT will optimise and scale-up the reactor materials and catalysts to TRL6 to 16t/y of CO production while reducing reactor size by 50%, among others via the removal of heating units. Techno-economic and environmental assessment of the reactor performances will demonstrate -40% CAPEX and OPEX as well as -50% of GHG emissions. Optimisation of operating conditions and reaction yield will be supported by fundamental (micro)kinetic modelling as well as industrial process planning accounting for variability of feedstock composition and renewable energy resources. Integrated conceptual design will fasten future scale-up and commercialisation of the reactor demonstrator at TRL9 with a final capacity of 34kt of CO2 converted per year. e-CODUCT will provide a first-of-a-kind fast-response electrically heated catalytic reactor able to replace the conventional Claus unit for sulphur recovery and simultaneous electroreduction of CO2, allowing -50% energy demand for acid gas treatment in over 130 refineries in Europe by 2035. The process could then be diversified to other applications such as FCC, steam cracking and dehydrogenation and multiple sites as biogas digesters and gas plants representing 18,000 sites in Europe.	none given	none given	none given	F

The project brings together five small and medium enterprises preparing to launch these concepts with the support of leading research institutes, universities and industrial partners.The essential feature linking the three technologies is the use of a high temperature solid sorbent for the simultaneous separation of CO2 during conversion of other carbon containing gases (CO and CH4) into H2. Each technology provides a step-change in efficiency because they all separate the CO2 at elevated temperatures (>300°C) providing for more efficient heat integration options not available in technologies where the separation occurs at lower temperatures. Each process matches both endothermic and exothermic heat requirements of associated reactions and sorbent regeneration in an integrated in situ approach.The synergies between the three technologies are strong, allowing both multiple interactions between the different work packages and allowing a consistent framework for cross-cutting activities across all the technologies. Each technology will be proven under industrially relevant conditions of pressure and temperature, at a scale that allows the use of industrially relevant materials that can be manufactured at a scale needed for real implementation.

The versatility and flexibility of the platform, based on 3 main stages (CO2 solubilization, bioprocess and downstream) will be proved by developing several technologies and strategies for each stage that will be combined as puzzle pieces. BIOCON-CO2 will develop 4 MCFs based on low-energy biotechnological processes using CO2 from iron&steel industry as a direct feedstockto produce 4 commodities with application in chemicals and plastics sectors using 3 different biological systems: anaerobic microorganisms (C3-C6 alcohols by Clostridia), aerobic microorganisms (3-hydroxypropionic acid by Cupriavidus necator) and enzymes (formic acid by recombinant resting E. coli cells and lactic acid by multi-enzymatic system). The technologic, socio-economic and environmental feasibility of the processes will be assessed to ensure their future industrial implementation, replicability and transfer to other CO2 sources, such as gas streams from cement and electricity generation industries. BIOCON-CO2 will overcome the current challenges of the industrial scale implementation of the biotechnologies routes for CO2 reuse by developing engineered enzymes, immobilization in nanomaterials, genetic and metabolic approaches, engineered carbonic anhydrases, pressurized fermentation, trickle bed reactor using advanced materials and electrofermentation.

LC-FNR-13-2020	The valorisation of industrial CO2 emissions is a cornerstone in EU strategies for climate change and circular economy. Bio-based Industries (BIs) are perfect candidates to apply this CO2 valorisation, since they could to turn their biorefineries’ emissions into feedstock and close the carbon loop. Nevertheless, there is still a strong need of reliable and cost-efficient CO2 conversion technologies to make it possible. VIVALDI proposes an integrated solution allowing the conversion of biogenic CO2 into added-value organic acids, powered by ground-breaking advances in CO2 purification, electrochemical catalysis, microbiology, synthetic biology, and bioprocess engineering. The solution comprises 4 main steps: 1. CO2 purification/enrichment from industrial streams and electrochemical reduction to formic acid (FA) and methanol (MeOH) using electrochemical reactors and gas diffusion electrodes. 2. Nutrient recovery (NH4+, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+) from industrial wastewaters using bioelectrochemical systems. 3. Bioproduction of target organic acids using a microbial platform based on specific engineered yeast strains (P. Pastoris), using as feedstock MeOH/FA/CO2 from step 1 and nutrients from step 2. 4. Industrial validation of the bioproduced organic acids (i.e. efficient downstream processing and on-site industrial validation). VIVALDI will use real gas emissions from 4 key BIs and will focus on the bioproduction of 4 industrially relevant organic acids with different applications and market penetration (LA,SA,IA,3-HP). These acids can re-enter the production process flowchart of biorefineries, thus enhancing the sustainability of their current products or even opening new business possibilities. Moreover, VIVALDI’s feasibility will be confirmed also through an integral sustainability assessment (technical, environmental and socio-economic) to ensure that the proposed solution can be adopted and integrated in any biorefinery.	none given	none given	none given

CO2SMOS aims to develop a platform of technologies to transform CO2 emissions produced by bio-based industries into a set a of high added-value chemicals with direct use as intermediates for bio-based products. The result is a toolbox combining intensified chemical conversions (electrocatalytic and membrane reactors) and innovative biotechnological solutions based on gas/liquid combined fermentation processes and organic/green-catalysts reaction processes, which allow versatile production, depending on the available resources and the targeted value chains, of seven different bio-based chemicals. These molecules will be validated as renewable CO2-based commodities for the formulation of high-performance biopolymers and renewable chemicals. The five breakthrough technologies involved in CO2SMOS will ensure low energy use (< 50 kWh/kg of CO2-based chemical), low production cost (< 1.75 €/kg), high product yield (up to 68% the ideal yield) and an outstanding GHG-abatement potential (avoiding of up to 10 additional kg of CO2 per each kg used as feedstock), which will contribute to the sustainability and cost competitiveness of the integrated conversion processes. Integration of CO2SMOS concept in existing and emerging biorefineries (supported by Scale Up and Replication plans) will contribute to expand the business portfolio and strengthen the economic base of the sector.

Methanol which will not have an energetic use but will be used in CATCO2NVERS own technologies. These target chemicals will be used as building blocks and monomers to obtain biopolymers of 100% bio-origin. Industrial partners will validate the application of the obtained chemical building blocks on the most relevant markets. In addition, the waste-CO2 stream will be conditioned by removing potential inhibitors for the catalysts.

This energetic penalty reduces the power plant efficiency, and increases the cost of electricity and the use of resources (mainly fossil fuels but also water, raw materials and additional equipment). The reduction of the parasitic losses associated with CCS is a major challenge in the next years.The concept focuses on one of the most important recommendations of the ZEP´s report for the deployment of CCS in the European Union (EU): the use of higher O2 concentrations in oxyfuel combustion reducing the flue gas recirculation and energy penalty.The use of higher oxygen concentration has important advantages: lower boiler size (CAPEX and OPEX cost), improved possibilities to take advantage of high temperature energy and process integration, the reduction of flue gas recirculation and improved system flexibility.However to achieve this objective is necessary to demonstrate and analyze the effect of high oxygen concentrations in combustion performance, fuel flexibility, controllability of solid looping within the boiler, material performance, the effects on carbon procession unit and, depending on the results obtained in the demonstration tests, how to use-integrate-optimize the energy/heat from different parts of the process to obtain a reduction of the overall penalty caused by CCS.

This multistage process will also yield carbon char and a pure CO2 stream as products, whilst it will present improved economic sustainability, operational flexibility and lower CO2 footprint thanks to (i) the energetic valorisation of gas by-products through innovative oxycombustion units integrated with efficient heat recovery; and (ii) the use of AI predictive control and real time optimisation. iCAREPLAST aims to demonstrate (TRL-7) the whole technology for plastic waste valorisation in a pilot plant able to process >100 kg/h of plastic. Advanced upstream waste sorting, pre-treatment and pyrolysis is strongly backed by previous demonstration activities and knowhow of the consortium, with profound knowledge of waste management and recycling market.iCAREPLAST solution will enforce circular economy by substantially increasing the amount of recycled plastics to produce commodity products that can be used for virgin-quality polymers production or as raw materials for other processes in petrochemicals, fine chemicals, automotive and detergent/surfactants industries. As a result of its initial exploitation we will treat 250,000t of plastic waste which otherwise would have become landfill, converting it into 1,500t of alkylaromatics and 1,000t of aromatics.	none given	none given	none given

LC-SC3-NZE-5-2019-2020	Refining industry is a highly energy-intensive sector with direct CO2 emissions typically ranging from 100 to 200 kg CO2/tonne oil. The challenges related to CCUS lies in taking into account a large number of relatively small sources with various levels of CO2 concentration. Today, CO2 capture from the sources with highest CO2 volume are mainly considered for capturing, leaving out small sources, thus limiting the overall capture rates to 50-60%. REALISE novel concept will capture up to 90% CO2 from operating refineries by integrating a multi-absorber concept for capturing CO2 from different stacks at 30% lower CO2 capture cost compared to the state-of-the-art technology based on 30 wt% monoethanolamine solution. The cost reduction potential will be demonstrated in REALISE onsite operating refinery-centered cluster at Cork, Ireland, by using a novel low energy solvent (30% lower energy demand, 70 times lower corrosion, 3 times lower thermal degradation), innovative concepts for reducing oxidative degradation (80% lower active component loss), cheaper construction materials (10% lower CAPEX), intelligent Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (10% lower OPEX compared to operation without NMPC), and optimal integration with the available heat sources. Assessment of the full CCUS chain from Emitter to Storage will be performed taking advantage of having consortium partner in common with transport and storage projects Northern lights and Cork CCS. Socio-political aspects will be addressed in REALISE and societal readiness index calculated for at least 3 business cases relevant to refineries in EU and China. REALISE project is driven by a strong industrial consortium, including 9 industrial partners along with the complete technology value-chain. An external Advisory Board will further contribute to replicate the concept thanks to Concawe (association of refineries with 40 industry members), SARAS, and Petroineos.	none given	none given	none given	F1

In oxygen-firing systems the fuel is burned in a mixture of pure O2 and recirculated flue gas instead of air. The absence of air nitrogen produces a flue gas stream with a high concentration of CO2, making it much easier to separate the CO2. CFB technology appears to be ideally suited to oxygen-firing combustion. The project aims to develop and demonstrate a power plant concept that allows flexible high-efficiency air-firing of fossil fuels with biomass and oxygen-firing with carbon capture which provides the potential for an almost 100% reduction in CO2. The use of the CFB technology will allow the utilization of indigenous coals and biomass with CCS thus addressing the needs for security of supply, reduction of imported coals dependency and addressing the climate change issue.The overall result of this project will be a power plant design based on the FLEXI BURN CFB concept, ready for demonstration of high efficiency large utility-scale power plant with CCS burning a large variety of indigenous and imported coals from lignite to anthracite as well as co-firing biomass. Demonstration tests with different coals at a first-of-its-kind 30 MWth air-oxygen-flexible CFB pilot facility and validation tests at the world’s first and largest supercritical once through CFB (460 MWe Lagisza in Poland) are essential elements in the project to ensure the efficient, reliable and safe design of the commercial scale FLEXI BURN power plant.The primary novelty of the proposed technology is in the full utilisation of all of the new CFB design and process advancements when merging a CFB boiler with a supercritical once through steam cycle and air separation unit together with CO2 capture unit for CCS. This encourages utilities to take the new technology, which has the built-in capability for CCS, into use and decommission old, inefficient and high polluting capacity with lower efficiency and emission performance. In air-firing, the high efficiency has a direct impact on CO2 emissions due to reduced consumption of fuel. In addition, by substituting 20% of coal input with renewables, CO2 emission can further be reduced by 15-20%. Furthermore, the FLEXI BURN CFB concept is capable of CCS whenever the CO2 storage is available. At a power plant with full CCS capability, the FLEXI BURN CFB concept serves as a risk mitigation tool that enables power generation during temporary outages of the CO2 transport and storage facilities. Such features are expected to facilitate investment decisions for highly capital-intensive CCS power plant projects.	none given	none given	none given	F

The plant will be of 10 t/d CO2 capture capacity and will operate with the advanced, APBS-CDRMax solvent. It will be operated on the premises of a natural-gas power plant (ELPEDISON), of an industrial gas boiler (TOTAL ENERGIES ONE TECH) and of a quicklime plant (CAO Hellas), highlighting the high modularity and flexibility of RPB processes with flue gases of different specifications. The advanced capture plant will allow up to 50% capture cost reduction, compared to conventional MEA-based, packed-bed technologies. This reduction will result from at least 10 times lower space footprint due to the use of the RPBs, with direct beneficial impacts on capital expenditures, as well as a regeneration energy of 2.0-2.1 GJ/tCO2 due to the use of the APBS-CDRMax solvent and the RPB-ISR. These features will also enable 20% and 50% lower environmental and safety impacts, as the solvent and operating conditions will minimize emissions, corrosion and make-up requirements. Techno-economic studies will also include an industrial cluster in Northern Greece, where options of CO2 utilization as well transportation and sequestration in nearby geological sites will also be investigated. Extensive societal, public acceptance and policy studies will also be performed, including surveys to the over 750 members of the industrial association partner SEVE.	none given	none given	none given	F

World projections of energy use show that fossil fuel dependency will continue to 2030 and beyond; but sustainability will need CO2 emissions reducing by 60% by 2050. This will be difficult. It will require various strategies. The associated rise in global CO2 emissions, without abatement, will be at an average rate of 1.8% per annum (from the current value of 25Gt p.a., to 38Gt by 2030); a rise of over 50%. This will be catastrophic for the planet’s sustainability. Urgent action is needed. Europe’s CO2 emissions will rise by an average of 0.6% p.a. up to 2020, from a 2000 level of 3.1Gt to 3.5Gt by 2020. The rocks under the N. Sea have a theoretical capacity for storing over 800Gt of CO2. Capturing CO2 from industrial point sources and storing it underground (a process that mimics Nature) is a very attractive route to making cuts in CO2 emissions. CO2 capture and storage allows diverse fuel inputs/outputs, enhances security of supply and is well aligned with hydrogen production from fossil fuels. Through the Joule 2, FP4 & 5 projects Europe has led the world on R&D in this area, with rapid growth this decade. National programmes are also emerging. This success has a downside, by creating fragmentation through diversification. N. America despite its rejection of Kyoto (except Canada), has recently embraced CO2 capture and geological storage and is allocating huge resources (over $4bn) over the next 10 years. Europe, as a result, risks losing its head start. We therefore must work more effectively and restructure accordingly. The main aim of CO2GeoNet will be to integrate, strengthen, and build upon the momentum of previous and existing European R&D, as well as project European excellence internationally, so as to ensure that Europe remains at the forefront of CO2 underground storage research’				1

However CCS has the drawback that the electrical efficiency of the coal fired power plant will drop significantly. To overcome this drawback, one has to increase the base efficiency of the power plant or increase the biomass co-firing share as this is a CO2 neutral energy source. Increasing the base efficiency of new plants or increasing the share of biomass are both limited due to quality of the present available coatings and materials. The presently used materials in the boiler, interconnecting pipework and steam turbine can not withstand operating temperatures higher than 620°C. Live steam temperatures higher than 750°C are needed to compensate the efficiency loss caused by CCS and achieve a net efficiency of 45%. NEXTGENPOWER is a unique integrated project as it will demonstrate new alloys and coatings in boiler, turbine and the interconnecting pipework, which can be integrated in existing and new power plants. This proposal is aimed at the highest priority challenges for new plants and will focus on selecting and demonstrating precipitated hardened Ni alloys, and advanced protective coatings. The challenges for NEXTGENPOWER are to demonstrate that we can: • overcome the limited creep and fatigue properties of state-of-the-art materials, • overcome boiler fireside corrosion of high temperature parts, • overcome steam-side oxidation and non-allowable thermal cycling stresses of the interconnecting pipe work using Ni alloys, • manufacture steam turbine components in precipitation hardened Ni alloy steam turbine parts.	none given	none given	none given	F

NMBP-20-2017	CO2 capture process represents typically about 70% of the total cost of the CCS chain. Power plants that capture CO2 today use an old technology whereby flue gases are bubbled through organic amines in water, where the CO2 binds to amines. The liquid is then heated to 120-150ºC to release the gas, after which the liquids are reused. The entire process is expensive and inefficient: it consumes about 30 percent of the power generated.One of the most promising technologies for CO2 capture is based on the adsorption process using solid sorbents, with the most important advantage being the potential energy penalty reduction for regeneration of the material compared to liquid absorption . Nevertheless, the challenge in this application remains the same, namely to intensify the production of a CO2 stream in terms of adsorption/desorption rates and energy use while preserving the textural characteristics of the sorbents. The key objectives of the CARMOF project are (1) to build a full demonstrator of a new energy and cost-competitive dry separation process for post-combustion CO2 capture based on hybrid porous Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) & Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) (2) to design customized, high packed density & low pressure drop structures based on 3D printing technologies containing hybrid MOF/CNT to be used in CO2 capture system based on fluidized beds. The morphology of the printed absorber will be designed for the specific gas composition of each of the selected industries (ceramic, petrol products and steel) and (3) to optimize the CO2 desorption process by means of Joule effect combined with a vacuum temperature/preassure swing adsorption (VTSA or VPSA)/membrane technology that will surpass the efficiency of the conventional heating procedures	none given	none given	none given	F1

The products are used for wax emulsions and white oils to be used in coatings and sealant materials The properties of the raw materials will be tested against current fossil based materials. The main raw material for the process is CO2 which is available from processes currently operating at a large industrial site with significant annual CO2 emissions. H2 is obtained as by product from a chlor-alkali plant on the site. Currently H2 is produced in excess and it is used mainly for energy production. Currently at this chemical production site about 2 million tons/a of CO2 is vented to the atmosphere, creating a huge GHG emission reduction potential. The core of this project is a combination of reverse water gas shift (RWGS) coupled with advanced, modular Fischer-Tropsch (FT) technology. The RWGS-step converts CO2 with H2 to carbon monoxide. The following FT-reaction step will be carried out in a novel intensified reactor recently developed and patented by Ineratec. Over 1500 kg of white oils and high-molecular weight wax will be manufactured using a container-sized microstructured reactor system. Techno-economic and environmental assessments will be carried out to demonstrate the potential of the new concept in different locations and integration sites.

LC-NMBP-29-2019	The need for de-carbonization of our society is a pressing issue raising the attention at social and political levels. The production of high value chemicals and fuels such as methanol requires hydrogen derived at the moment from hydrocarbons and resulting in large emissions of CO2. Green Hydrogen produced by water electrolysis coupled to renewable sources could be the ultimate solution to this problem. Proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) is the most suitable technology for this process due to its compactness and flexibility. However, the dependence on precious metal catalysts and expensive components manufactured in titanium poses a serious threat for the scale up and market penetration of this technology. PROMET-H2 project aims to develop a pressurized PEMWE with the lowest capital cost ever achieved (500-750 €/kW) without compromising performance and durability. The stack, based on hydraulic compression technology, will contain improved membranes and electrodes with reduced or even free of precious metal contents and with coated stainless steel bipolar plates (BPP) and porous transport layers (PTL). The materials and components that will make this possible have already been demonstrated in laboratory and in PROMET-H2 these innovations will be implemented in a 25 kW PEMWE system. Such electrolyser will be coupled with a methanol production pilot plant from CO2. Materials recycling strategies will be developed and a deep LCA and cost evaluation will be realised to ensure that the new PEMWE can be scaled-up to meet the demands of large methanol industrial plants. A well-balanced consortium of 12 industry and academic partners will address these challenges in three years with the aim of achieving renewable methanol production. At the end of the project, they will establish R&D and business cooperation in a value chain that goes from the nanomaterial synthesis to the green production of one of the most promising fuels and feed-stock chemicals.	none given	none given	none given	F

A powerful synergy across bio-based industries results in REDWine’s innovative circular business model, which allows wine manufacturers to efficiently treat their liquid and gaseous effluents while profitably diversifying their revenues through the valorisation of Chlorella biomass into multiple high-value ingredients. The REDWine concept will be realized through the establishment of an integrated ‘Living Lab’ demonstrating the technical and economic viability of a system for collection and storage of the off-gas and liquid effluents of a 20,000L wine fermenter and its adaptation to microalgae cultivation and energy efficient harvesting technologies, in order to use 90% of the CO2 collected, to produce biomass. REDWine will demonstrate a circular concept through the development of a simple biorefinery to be deployed in the winery which will yield sustainable and cost competitive ingredients for food formulations (protein and fatty acids), cosmetics (peptides, carotenoid rich oils and active polysaccharides), agriculture (carbohydrates as vine biostimulants) and wine production (proteins for wine clarification). The proposed REDWine solution is expected to reduce the GHG emissions of the entire wine production value chain by at least 31% while potentially generating over €15M in revenues and creating 45 new jobs for a 7ML size winery on a 3-year time horizon.

Furthermore, it will comprise secondary solar optics to concentrate natural sunlight and project it onto the reactor, and an energy efficient LED light source to ensure continuous 24/7 operation. SPOTLIGHT’s catalysts will be plasmonic catalysts, capable of absorbing the entire solar spectrum. The space-time-yield achieved to date with these catalysts in the Sabatier and rWGS process are > 104 times higher than for conventional semiconductor catalysts. This makes the concept technically feasible for scale up without excessive land use, and makes it economically much more attractive because of strongly reduced capital expenditures.SPOTLIGHT’s photonic device and process concept are perfectly suited for CO2 sources up to 1 Mt p.a., which makes them complementary to existing large scale CCU processes. For the EU, we estimate that the annual CO2 reduction through use of SPOTLIGHT’s technology is maximized to 800 Mt, which is approximately 18% of the current annual total. This could generate an amount of CH4 produced in the EU which equals 14.5 EJ of energy, corresponding to 21% of the EU’s current annual energy use, and representing a value of € 393 bil. Ergo, SPOTLIGHT’s technology reduces the dependence of the EU on non-EU countries for its energy supply, and initiates a new multi-billion industry.	none given	none given	none given

Oxycombustion is a promising option for implementing cost-efficient carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) in future coal fired power plants. The use of oxygen membranes in the process has the potential to significantly reduce the efficiency losses associated with the capture and to improve the overall process economy. The multinational consortium behind the proposal includes industry as well as research centers, combining between them all the multi-disciplinary competences needed to carry out the project. The partners are: Risoe National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy (coordinator; DK), Forschungszentrum Julich GmbH (D), Fraunhofer IKTS (D), VITO (B), SINTEF (N), Air Liquide(Fr), Saint Gobain CREE (Fr) and INABENSA (ESP).Two different types of tubular oxygen transport membranes will be developed at the research centres participating in HETMOC, and the technology for producing the membranes will be transferred to an industry partner that will demonstrate membrane production by industrial processes. The fabricated membranes will be demonstrated over a period exceeding 1000 hours in a pressurized Proof of Concept module so as to address critical issues related to the practical operation. The module will hold 25 tubes of 1 m length. The knowledge obtained in both the development and fabrication of the membranes will, together with the experiences from the Proof of Concept module, be used for a conceptual design of an industrial scale module with a capacity of 100 tons per day. The cost of such a module will be assessed and an overall techno-economical evaluation of various ways of integrating oxygen transfer membranes in the power plant will be carried out to estimate the efficiencies of various schemes and to identify the most rewarding (in terms of overall cost and efficiency) routes for further development.	none given	none given	none given	F1

One of the most appropriate concepts to capture CO2 from such point sources is the oxyfuel combustion. The main energy demand for this method results from the O2 generation, which is usually done by air liquefaction. This energy demand can substantially be lowered using thermally integrated separation modules based on ceramic oxygen transport membranes (OTM). It is least if the OTM is integrated in a 4-end mode, which entails that the permeating oxygen is swept and directly diluted using recirculated flue gas. Up to 60% reduction in capture energy demand compared to cryogenic air separation and up to 40% reduction compared to post-combustion capture approaches can be achieved.GREEN-CC will provide a new generation high-efficiency capture process based on oxyfuel combustion. The focus lies on the development of clear integration approaches for OTM-modules in power plants and cement industry considering minimum energy penalty related to common CO2 capture and integration in existing plants with minimum capital investment. This will be attained by using advanced process simulations and cost calculations. GREEN-CC will also explore the use of OTM-based oxyfuel combustion in different highly energy-demanding industrial processes, e.g. oil refining and petrochemical industry.However, highly permeable membrane materials show a chemical instability against CO2 and other flue gas components. One major challenge faced by GREEN-CC is therefore to identify and develop membrane materials, components, and a PoC-module for the 4-end mode OTM integration. The desired membrane assembly will consist of a thin membrane layer supported on substrates with engineered porosity and oxygen reduction catalysts with high and stable activity in flue gas. As proof of concept, a planar membrane module will be developed which involves technical hurdles like joining technology	none given	none given	none given	F

The CO2EXIDE technology combines a modular nature for the feasibility of a decentralised application, a high energy and material efficieny/yield and the substitution of fossil based production of ethylene oxide. The CO2EXIDE technology will be combinable with renewables and allows for the direct creation of products, which can be integrated into the existing supply chain. The reactions will be operated at low temperatures and pressures and forecast significant improvements in energy and resource efficiency combined with an enormous reduction of GHG emissions. All improvements will be quantitated using Life Cycle Assessment. The CO2EXIDE approach will bring together physicists, chemists, engineers and dissemination and exploitation experts from 5 universities/research institutions, 3 SMEs and 2 industries, innovatively joining their key technologies to develop and exploit an unprecedented process based on CO2, renewable energy and water to combine the chemical and energy sector.Within 42 months project duration, the CO2EXIDE technology will undergo a thorough material and component R&D programme. A 1kW PEM electrolyser for CO2-reduction and water oxidation in combination with an ethylene enrichment unit and subsequent chemical conversion cascade reactor will be manufactured to produce ethylene oxide as intermediate for oligo-/polyethylene glycol synthesis.

SPIRE-10-2017	The OCEAN project aims to develop an integrated process for the production of high-value C2 chemicals from carbon dioxide using electrochemistry. This will be achieved by: 1) improving and optimizing a TRL5 technology that can convert carbon dioxide to formate, to TRL6. OCEAN will bring this technology just one-step away from commercialization, by demonstrating this technology at the site of an industrial electricity provider, converting 250 g of CO2 per hour at 1.5 kA/m2. The energy efficiency will be improved by coupling the cathodic reaction to the oxidation of glucose at the anode, using a novel technology to match the kinetics of the reactions at both electrodes. The obtained formate can be converted to oxalate. 2)Developing new electrochemical methodologies to further convert formate and oxalate to formic acid and oxalic acid, respectively. Novel salt-splitting will be investigated using bipolar membranes. Again, this allows for direct coupling with an electrosynthesis step at the anode and/or cathode. 3) Developing new electrochemical methodologies by converting oxalic acid to glycolic acid and other high-value C2-products, these will be benchmarked with conventional hydrogenation. 4) Integrating the TRL6 and new (TRL4-5) electrochemical technologies in an industrial process, aimed at the production of high-value C2 products and polymers thereof by developing the process steps needed to produce oxalate, C2 products and polymers. 5) Demonstrating the economic feasibility by performing a market analysis and making a business case and exploitation strategy. Overall, OCEAN aims at addressing the critical elements that are currently hindering new electrochemical processes by targeting high value products that have the corresponding production margin to introduce this technology on the market, lower the power costs by combining oxidation and reduction, and a trans-disciplinary approach that is needed for the introduction of these advanced technologies.	none given	none given	none given	F

CE-NMBP-25-2019	DECADE project proposes a new photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) approach for the conversion of CO2 avoiding water oxidation as anodic reaction to overcome the current limits in PEC system and to maximize effective energy utilization. Novel PEC technology will be developed up to TRL 5 (prototype testing under environmental relevant conditions) using alcohols and waste CO2 as feed. Different applications are investigated: green refinery, distributed green solvent production and use to lower carbon footprint in methanol plant. In the main application, bioethanol and waste CO2 are used to produce a mixture of ethyl acetate (EA) and ethyl formate (EF) in ethanol, to be used as drop-in green solvent or as octane booster fuel component. The net impact is to produce valuable added-value products through an energy-efficient PEC device, to lower the carbon footprint by using waste CO2 and introducing renewable energy in the production chain. DECADE project will develop the PEC concept and validate at prototype unit for distributed production (productivity > 1 g/h of EA and > 1A current density per single 10×10 cm module). Optimization and engineering of electrode/materials and of the PEC design is driven by techno-economic, LCA, market & social assessments. There are several elements of innovation in the proposed DECADE approach, based on the identification of the critical issues in the current PEC design. The project is organized around three main areas: i) advances in materials and technology, with a series of novel concepts and materials proposed (TRL 3 -> 4), ii) upscaling and prototype design & manufacture (TRL 4 -> 5), focused at improving performances, stability and reduce costs, and iii) process validation by using the prototype (TRL 5).

But the commercial potential and the positive-impact of the technology are not yet fully exploited because of several limitations such as transportability, robustness, user-friendless or high operation costs. To overcome the barriers that limit the operational utilization of field gravimetry and develop the solutions that will allow us to fully address the exploitable market, we propose to conduct in FIQUgS the development of several innovations, either at the technological level with improved QGs built upon a reliable and efficient supply chain, or in terms of operational methodology.The development of a next generation QGs product line, and the services associated for the conduction of field surveys, data acquisition and data inversion will allow to considerably develop our capability to address the market of advanced geophysics.

Earth Science graduating students are lacking profound theoretical and practical training in numerical methods and high-performance computing. QUEST intends to fill this gap offering the students excellent prospects in industry and academia as the combination of skills to be trained are highly in demand. We also expect substantial progress in understanding the dynamics of our planet, the quantification of natural hazards such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. QUEST will link world-leading scientists in methodologies such as computational wave propagation, the theory of inverse problems and global tomography with two of the best industrial research laboratories in geophysics and computing world wide.

At the heart of the HICCUPS concept lie innovative technologies for the capture, conversion to monomers and polymerization of CO2 to produce PLGA. These polymers with excellent water & gas barrier properties are fully biodegradable and 100% made from renewable feedstock which makes them a promising candidate for the replacement of fossil polyethylene. To demonstrate the potential of PLGA, packaging materials will be produced from PLGA film coated paper and molded plastic. Examples of these types of packaging are paper cups, take out boxes and sealed plastic trays for perishable food from the supermarket. The HICCUPS technology results in a GHG reduction based on CO2 utilization, replacement of fossil feedstock and by industrial electrification. In the HICCUPS project, the complete value chain from biogenic CO2 to polymer end use will be demonstrated, including downstream processing and end of life studies. Recycling and (marine) biodegradability tests will show this sustainable plastic will not accumulate in nature. To maximize impact of the HICCUPS technology, digital modelling, life-cycle assessments and a full business case analysis are initiated in the early stage of the project to provide targets for technology development. Besides the reduction of GHG emissions, HICCUPS will have societal impact by creating awareness through interaction with policy makers and civil society and the creation of new jobs in innovative fields. By targeting an industry as essential as wastewater treatment, HICCUPS aims to create a concept that can impact society and contribute to climate change mitigation, assessed by an integrated monitoring system of the carbon removal potential, on a big scale and serves as a crucial first step in upscaling this new solution to a flagship-scale commercial plant.	none given	none given	none given	1

CIRCULAIR addresses this challenge with an integrated biofuel pathway that produces cost-effective aviation fuels and generates negative emissions. Key innovations of CIRCULAIR involve a close thermal coupling of hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) conversion, based on abundant and available agricultural residues and lignocellulosic crops, with exothermic wet oxidation of HTL process water. In this way, autothermal operation can be achieved, carbon is fully utilized, and the process water disposal problem of HTL is solved. In addition, CIRCULAIR develops innovative approaches to upgrade HTL biocrudes to jet fuel and accelerates the approval of HTL fuels for civil aviation. The biomass resource utilization is maximized by developing valorisation schemes for all relevant side streams along the process chain. In particular, acetic acid will be extracted from residual process waters and methanol will be synthesized from effluent gas streams and renewable hydrogen. Importantly, CIRCULAIR will close a knowledge gap regarding the utilization of fixed carbon in the HTL solids for carbon sequestration and soil amendment, i.e. for a negative contribution to the carbon balance. The targeted overall net-negative emission will be quantified based on life cycle analysis. Finally, techno- and socio-economic analyses will identify important benefits and trade-offs associated with the advanced biofuel process. In summary: CIRCULAIR will investigate and develop an innovative process for resource-efficient production of sustainable aviation biofuels alongside further marketable renewable chemicals and fuel products. The utilization of biomass feedstock that is abundant in agricultural environments ensures cost-efficiency, relevant scale and the potential to create net-negative carbon emissions.	none given	none given	none given	F

The consortium has developed an innovative process for the vertical integration of by-products from sawmill industry, i.e. feedstocks comprising only residues (no sawlogs), and conversion into fish feed ingredients, i.e. single cell protein (SCP), along with the production of biochar for animal feed. Thus, our process can provide novel, sustainable protein sources, as opposed to conventional energy- and climate-intensive soybean and resource-limited wild fish protein production routes to meet future demands. SynoProtein will demonstrate that 1.25 tons (t) of CO2-e can be captured from syngas via CCU for each dry-ton sawmill by-products processed. This clearly makes our SynoProtein innovation unique and is why it will introduce a green paradigm shift for the recycling and commercialisation of low-value by-products feedstocks into high-value bio-products. This project joins together a balanced consortium of 11 partners, covering the whole SynoProtein value chain, from industry, academia, and research institutes, which spread to 4 different European countries (Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Germany), but with worldwide operation with their sister companies. Overall, we expect carbon capture of 200kt of CO2-e from syngas annually with our process by 2033, recovering 160kt/year of forest residues and producing 120kt/year of fish/animal feed for industry, valued at €175m. This also represents 260 jobs created in EU and reduced 120kt per year imported feed ingredient from other continents.

However the current materials are still lacking of separation performance and durability suitable for an efficient and economically feasible exploitation of such technology. The Project NANOMEMC2 aims in overcoming the current limitation focusing on the development of innovative CO2 selective membranes with high flux and selectivity suitable for application to both Pre and Post-combustion Capture processes.To that aim nanocomposite or mixed matrix membranes will be considered with particular focus on facilitated transport mechanisms promoted by carrier attached to the polymer or the filler. Graphene based nanosheets and cellulose nanofibres will be studied in detail considering their possible modification to improve polymer compatibility and affinity with CO2.

LCE-07-2016-2017	Lime (CaO) has been long proposed as an energy-intensive material for the storage of energy in a chemical form by means of carbonation/calcination cycles. This Calcium-looping process (CaL) is the basis of a proven pilot-scale technology for CO2 capture, which is accomplished by carbonation of CaO and its regeneration in a calciner reactor operated under high CO2 partial pressure and high temperature. The wide availability of limestone (<10€/ton) is a key factor for the feasibility of the CaL process. However, the huge potential for lime also to store energy has been inhibited by its propensity to sinter at the high temperatures of the standard CaL cycle for CO2 capture, which reduces dramatically its multicycle conversion. SOCRATCES will be built on previous R&D results of the partners indicating that the CaL process can be integrated into CSP plants for thermochemical energy storage and power generation by means of a simple closed CO2 loop. High global efficiencies (>45%) are achieved under new CaL conditions implying carbonation under high temperature (>850ºC) at high CO2 partial pressure compatible with high-efficiency power blocks. Moreover, fast calcination is carried out at temperatures < 700ºC by the Flash Calcination technology, which allows using mature and inexpensive solar receiver technology. Circulating Fluidized Bed reactors of proven efficiency. The new CSP-CaL integration yields high storage energy density (3.2 GJ/m3) with possible long-time gaps between load and discharge. SOCRATCES is aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of this integration by erecting a pilot-scale plant that uses cheap, abundant, and non-toxic materials as well as mature solar and fluidized bed reactor technologies.

LCE-06-2017	KEROGREEN offers a novel conversion route to sustainable aviation fuel synthesised from H2O and CO2 powered by renewable electricity. Because the sustainable kerosene emits less soot and no sulphur, it meets future aviation air pollution standards. The conversion is based on plasma driven CO2 dissociation, solid oxide membranes and Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) synthesis of kerosene. Synergy between plasma activated species and novel perovskite electrodes of the oxygen separator are expected to raise CO productivity and energy efficiency. CO2 emitted upon fuel usage is recirculated as feedstock to the process by direct air capture. The technology is modular, scalable and relies on inexpensive existing infrastructure for storage, transport and distribution. In this project the technology readiness level is raised from TRL 3 to 4 by novel system integration into a container sized unit producing 0.1kg/hr kerosene. Projected cost at this stage of development are estimated at +50% of fossil kerosene. Market entrance will be facilitated by ETS, airline CO2 compensation fund and ICAO regulation. The intermediate CO product is a valuable gas by itself. On-site production offers inherent safety. Safety issues and sustainability of KEROGREEN, including environmental impact, cost and acceptability will be analysed. By dynamically converting surplus renewable electricity in carbon neutral liquid fuel, vast energy storage capacity opens up to the electricity system, providing flexibility and allowing increased penetration of renewable electricity. The KEROGREEN Power-to-X technology is generic as it couples the electricity sector to the oil, gas and chemical sector, with the powerful potential to reduce the overall EU CO2 emission budget, increase energy security and conserve fossil fuel. Compact sized KEROGREEN equipment close coupled to an off-shore wind turbine or a remote solar array produces carbon neutral liquid fuel on site, with no need for expensive electricity infrastructure.	none given	none given	none given

EcoFuel develops and demonstrates a novel thorough process chain that significantly improves the energy efficiency for production of synthetic fuel out of CO2 and water using renewable energy. The process chain comprises a) the supply of CO2 from the atmosphere via a novel direct air capture approach, b) direct electro-catalytic reduction of CO2 to C2/C3 alkenes at close to ambient temperatures, and c) thermo-catalytic liquefaction of alkenes, upgrading and fractionation into transport fuels. The direct electro-catalytic CO2 reduction to hydrocarbons offers greatly enhanced efficiency potentials compared to Power-to-X technologies downstream of water electrolysis and at the same time, reduces process pathway steps. Process performance will be validated by in-depth impact assessment. The EcoFuel approach will bring together chemists, physicists, engineers and dissemination and exploitation experts from 4 universities/research institutions, 2 SMEs and 3 industries, innovatively joining their key technologies to develop and exploit a novel complete process chain, based on the power of electrochemistry to deliver truly green (CO2 neutral) fuels with an unprecedented overall energy efficiency. Within 36 months project duration, the EcoFuel technology will undergo a thorough material and component R&D programme and together with its significant industry involvement this project will be set on unique path toward new technology developments up to TRL 4 that will have lasting impact on the European renewable energy system.	none given	none given	none given

On one hand, hard-to-utilize organic waste such as organic fraction of municipal solid waste and residues from biorefinery and biological processes are utilized to highlight a new bioenergy source. On the other hand, new technologies will be developed from TRL 2 to 5. The proposed technologies via CARBIOW enable Europe to take the lead and advancement in several fields of energy generation and energy sector decarbonization. Moreover, energy security, economical boost, local energy independenc,e and job creation are addressed. Torrefaction as an emerging technology converts the very heterogeneous and wet organic waste to a high-quality solid biofuel. Besides, torgas will be combusted with oxygen to generate energy for torrefaction, and to obtain nearly pure CO2. A novel technology i.e., oxygen-blown gasification in oxygen carrier aided systems will convert the torrefied organic waste to clean syngas with very high efficiency in terms of energy and yield. The syngas will be used in the Fischer-Tropsch process with a novel reactor and novel 3D printed catalysts aiming to produce aviation (kerosene) and marine (alcohols) biofuels. The CO2 from the oxy-conversion steps will be fixed in the resulting ashes from the same process via carbonization to make cement-based product. So, CARBIOW addresses another goal that is the decarbonization of cement industry, while making the biofuels to be carbon negative. The diversity and strength of the experts within the consortium of CARBIOW will guarantee the technological, technical, and societal advancement of what is proposed, most importantly, the exploitation and perspective of the whole process will be evaluated by the leaders and industrial sites to pledge the feasibility of the scale-up and further development of the proposed process.	none given	none given	none given	F

ALFAFUELS contributes to climate change mitigation, energy transition, and on the establishment of a circular bio-based economy by providing a direct capture and utilisation of CO2, by developing cost-effective and sustainable technological solutions in all process steps, and by providing integration possibilities with other sectors. The project’s aim is to tackle the key challenges preventing SAF technologies to reach technological maturity and commercialisation such as the high current production cost, sustainability issues associated with their production, technological constraints (yields and efficiencies). To that end, ALFAFUELS includes targeted technological breakthroughs, such as the microbial production of a volatile fuel precursor from CO2, the upgrade to kerosene-type jet fuel molecules in ambient conditions using solar light-driven photochemistry, and the valorisation of all cell components in a biorefinery approach to co-produce starch and H2 (indirectly from CO2) as an important intermediate. The proposed technological novelties are combined with modelling approaches to maximize efficiencies, to optimize the overall process regarding cost and energy consumption and to evaluate the process with combined techno-economic and life cycle assessments. The project lifts the production technologies at TRL5, by including the design of novel cost-efficient bioreactors, pilot scale trials on real, industrially relevant CO2 streams and evaluation of the produced molecules against ASTM standards.

One major goal of the proposed project is to perform long-term tests with different fuels in an upgraded 1 MWth pilot plant, aiming mainly at optimization of operating conditions and operational reliability. The successful operation of the upgraded pilot will provide the important validation step between the 1 MWth scale and a future 20 MWth scale pilot plant. Process and CFD models will be developed and comprehensively validated against experimatal data from 1 MWth testing. These models will be applied to support the engineering for a 20 MWth scale pilot plant.

This will allow SOMMER to overcome the fossil-based energy requirements for the production of syngas and to consume CO2 instead of natural gas as feedstock. Syngas, the mixture of H2 and CO, is a crucial intermediate product in the chemical industry. Thus, SOMMER will consider the entire value-chain from CO2 provision from a cement plant to syngas formation and further processing syngas to valuable and shippable products such as DME or methanol. The core of the SOMMER technology lies in the optimized energy integration of an emerging single-step CO2 and H2O thermochemical conversion process supported by highly selective catalysts and a dual-phase composite membrane, and a concentrated solar-thermal plant to supply the thermal energy demand. The main outcomes of SOMMER involve the experimental demonstration and evaluation of the innovative solar-powered membrane technology, and the development of high performance and cost-effective membranes as key components, thereby bringing the technology to the next level. SOMMER will advance membrane manufacturing via slip-casting, as a more mature approach, and via additive manufacturing to optimize the effective membrane surface area in the reactor. The concept is expected to have the future advantage of prolonged and flexible operation by switching between two operational Cases: I) Purely solar approach at 1500 °C and II) a biogas-supported approach at 900 °C.In addition, the identification of technological, ecological and economical potential for a flexible and highly efficient solar syngas production will contribute to the development of a detailed roadmap and provide the basis for the pre-commercialization through follow-up R&D development activities.	none given	none given	none given

Early-stage and Experienced researchers will attend advanced network-wide courses, technical individual training and soft and complementary skill courses run by the partners to develop a full proficiency. Organization of workshops, summer schools, and participation in international conferences will be important elements of the training program where young researchers can communicate their results and exchange knowledge between the research teams. Another communication and evaluation platform will be meeting the scientific committee, which evaluates the research progress and quality, and the training and ToK committee, which asses the ToK activities and plans the training of the fellows. Ultimately, the network-training program intends to provide Europe with a ‘Centre of Excellence’ in GHG storage, which will last beyond the time period of the RTN.				F

NMBP-19-2017	LOTER.CO2M aims to develop advanced, low-cost electro-catalysts and membranes for the direct electrochemical reduction of CO2 to methanol by low temperature CO2-H2O co-electrolysis. The materials will be developed using sustainable, non-toxic and non-critical raw materials. They will be scaled-up, integrated into a gas phase electrochemical reactor, and the process validated for technical and economic feasibility under industrially relevant conditions. The produced methanol can be used as a chemical feedstock or for effective chemical storage of renewable energy. The demonstration of the new materials at TRL5 level, and the potential of this technology for market penetration, will be assessed by achieving a target electrochemical performance > 50 A/g at 1.5 V/cell, a CO2 conversion rate > 60%, and a selectivity > 90% towards methanol production with an enthalpy efficiency for the process > 86%. A significant increase in durability under intermittent operation in combination with renewable power sources is also targeted in the project through several stabilization strategies to achieve a degradation rate of < 1%/1000 h at stack level. The developed low-temperature CO2 conversion reactor will offer fast response (frequency > 2-5 Hz) to electrical current fluctuations typical of intermittent power sources and a wide operating range in terms of input power, i.e. from 10% to full power in less than a second. Such aspects are indicative of an excellent dynamic behaviour as necessary to operate with renewable power sources. A life cycle assessment of the CO2 electrolysis system, which will compile information at different levels from materials up to the CO2 electrolysis system including processing resources, will complete the assessment of this technology for large-scale application. Field testing of the co-electrolysis system in an industrial relevant environment will enable to evaluate the commercial competitiveness and the development of a forward exploitation plan.	none given	none given	none given	F

LCE-24-2016	Global warming resulting from the emission of greenhouse gases has received widespread attention with international action from governments and industries, including a number of collaborative programs, such as SET-Plan, and very recently the International Climate Change hold 2015 in Paris. Key European Commission roadmaps towards 2030 and 2050 have identified Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) as a central low-carbon technology to achieve the EU’s 2050 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission reduction objectives, although there still remains a great deal to be done in terms of embedding CCS in future policy frameworks. The selective capture and storage of CO2 at low cost in an energy-efficient is a world-wide challenge. One of the most promising technologies for CO2 capture is adsorption using solid sorbents, with the most important advantage being the energy penalty reduction during capture and regeneration of the material compared to liquid absorption. The key objectives of GRAMOFON projects are: (i) to develop and protoype a new energy and cost-competitive dry separation process for post-combustion CO2 capture based on innovative hybrid porous solids Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and Graphene Oxide nanostructures.(ii) to optimize the CO2 desorption process by means of Microwave Swing Desorption (MSD) and Joule effect, that will surpass the efficiency of the conventional heating procedures.This innovative concept will be set up by world key players expert in synthesis, adsorption, characterization and modelling, as well as process design and economic projections.	none given	none given	none given

Training will be hosted by 8 Universities in synergy with 2 full and 4 associated industry partners with the objective of delivering highly-trained mobile researchers to the European market. The objective of FlowTrans is the creation of a unique research training environment and a new inter-sectoral supra-interdisciplinary field to de-fragment European knowledge and combine industry and universities to harness understanding of basic scientific questions for tackling future challenges in Exploration of Geological Resources. Our research training objectives focus on teaching ESRs and ERs the necessary interdisciplinary skills needed to study Flow in Transforming Porous Media. The characterization and the understanding of flow of fluids within rocks and granular media has become an ever-increasing problem in Earth Sciences, Physics, and in many industrial applications, including CO2 sequestration, hydrocarbon migration, ore deposit development, and radioactive waste disposal. One of the main problems is the understanding of flows in transforming porous media (PM), where the rocks and fluid pathways evolve spatially and temporally, for example due to chemical interactions with the flow, or due to compaction of the solid matrix. We propose to study the feedback mechanisms and their impact on the porous media through an interdisciplinary approach between Earth Scientists and Physicists. State of the art analytical and experimental methods will be used on natural systems and rock analogues, and will be complemented by multi-scale dynamical simulations, to develop new basic understanding and new methods that can be directly used in industrial applications.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-ITN-2019	Our society depends on thousands of indispensable molecules such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, and coatings. Such products are synthesized from starting materials that originate from fossil resources, mainly oil. As oil is depleting, alternative starting materials are needed. CO2 is a benign and sustainable carbon source, which in analogy to natural photosynthetic processes can be used to form chemical building blocks. However, despite the potential ascribed to CO2, the scope of chemicals available from CO2 remains narrow. In particular, the number of syntheses leading to carbon-carbon (C-C) bond formation from CO2 is limited, although C-C linkages constitute the core of all organic molecules. The CO2PERATE consortium is a cooperation between 3 industrial and 7 academic nodes, with a simple but essential vision: Training of European researchers in the synthesis of indispensable molecules from sustainable carbon sources and with sustainable catalysts. The main focus is on using CO2 as a synthon in C-C bond formation leading to industrially relevant compounds. In order to develop fully sustainable processes, CO2PERATE will react CO2 with biomass-derived starting materials and will use non-precious metal catalysts. The development of CO2-based synthetic pathways is highly beneficial not only for the chemical industry but also for pharmaceutical applications. In particular, CO2PERATE will have major impact on carbon-based isotopic labelling, which is an area of great economic value. The CO2PERATE research program unites leading expertise in catalysis, organic synthesis, computational modelling, isotopic labelling, process plant development, and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and chemical additives. The research will be complemented by training in transferable skills, including entrepreneurship, patenting, outreach and open science, alongside personally adapted career development, with mentoring, intersectorial exchange, and international mobility.	none given	none given	none given

The Mobilisation and Mutual Learning Action Plan (MMLAP) therefore forges partnerships between research organisations and different societal actors. It develops forms of dialogue and cooperation between science and society at different stages of the research process. The partners pool experiences and knowledge and better focus their respective efforts to develop a common approach to the issues at stake. In doing so the MMLAP contributes to sharing innovation more widely and efficiently and to optimizing the role of research and technology in tackling societal challenges.The objective of this project is to organise a dialogue between R&D organisations (RDOs) and civil society organisations (CSOs) that results in a joint vision of CSOs and RDOs on the development of renewable energies and CCS for a low carbon society and identification of actions to improve the dialogue and associated mutual learning.Our task will thus be to create a mechanism for dialogue between research and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs ) to develop a common approach on issues regarding the low-carbon society.

LCE-06-2017	For biorefined fuels to fully replace fossil carbons, we must identify feedstock sources which are essentially unlimited in capacity and scalability and are independent of agriculture and forestry land use. Here, we propose to use electricity – preferably produced from renewable sources and at off pick hours – as the sole energy source for microbial growth and the conversion of CO2 into fuels. We aim to tackle the shortcoming of previous technologies by using completely soluble formate as a mediator between electrical current and living cells. Within an integrated electrobioreactor, CO2 will be reduced to formate at a very high rate, and the formate will be consumed by an engineered E. coli to produce propane and isobutene, gaseous hydrocarbons that are easy to separate from the liquid broth. Both propane and isobutene can be further converted into a range of products, including excellent fuel substitutes (e.g., isooctane), using conventional chemical engineering methodologies. Our approach comprises a truly interdisciplinary effort. Material scientists will design novel electrode compositions and structures, which will be used by electrochemists to optimize electrochemical formate production at high efficiency and current density. Metabolic engineers will adapt E. coli for growth on formate via two synthetic formate assimilation pathways, specifically designed to fit the metabolism of this model bacterium. Synthetic pathways for propane and isobutene biosynthesis will be implemented in the formatotrophic strains. Process engineers will construct a unique electrobioreactor to support simultaneous formate production and consumption. Experts in environmental assessment will analyze the benefits of the suggested technology, and the project vision and results will be disseminated to the scientific community and general public. The technology put forward in this proposal could have a transformative effect on the way we produce our chemicals and fuels.	none given	none given	none given	F1

MSCA-ITN-2014-ETN	Cement production for the construction industry contributes up to 5% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Developing more environmentally friendly concrete requires the assessment of strength for a diverse range of new cement materials. Similar issues arise during the development of biocompatible cements for medical applications. Properties of naturally cemented materials of organic origin are of key importance in the oil industry, with carbonate reservoirs prone to creep, particularly during the injection of CO2 for enhanced oil recovery or permanent storage. However, despite the importance of cement materials to our infrastructure, health and environment, we still lack the fundamental basis for understanding the strength of cemented aggregates. Granular pastes and sediments transform to strong solids through reactions at nano-confined mineral interfaces, where nucleation and growth at the adjacent solid surfaces are affected in a manner not yet understood. There is a need for improved concepts, theories and models. NanoHeal targets this issue by bringing six industrial and six academic groups together in a European Training Network (ETN), in an emerging interdisciplinary field spanning from basic sciences to the corresponding engineering disciplines. NanoHeal will deliver an outstanding environment for training and career development of young researchers. The aims of NanoHeal are to: • develop innovative probes and models for nanoscale processes that open novel perspectives in design and control of organo-mineral materials.• measure and improve the strength and durability of 1) new man-made cemented materials like “green concrete”, speciality cements in construction and oil and gas recovery, and biocompatible implants and 2) natural sedimentary rocks inside reservoirs and as construction materials• educate young interdisciplinary researchers at the interface between fundamental science and European industry.	none given	none given	none given

Integration of the results will enable an assessment of overall LT behaviour of storage sites at regional scale in terms of efficiency & security, also including other important aspects, e.g. far-field brine displacement and fluid mixing.The LT prediction of CO2 evolution during geological storage will thus become more robust, not only by addressing the uncertainty associated with numerical modelling, but also by applying realistic contexts and scales.

However, acknowledging the long-term limitations in biomass supply, as highlighted by the European Commission in the EU Bioeconomy Strategy Progress Report (2022), there is an urgent need for the development of advanced bioinspired technologies that mimic nature but exhibit higher efficiency.The S2B project aims to unlock the potential of photosynthetic microbes for the direct conversion of solar energy and CO2 into butanol by employing innovative concepts and approaches. Specifically, S2B will transfer the microbial production of butanol from conventional suspension cultivation to a tailored solid-state biocatalytic platform. In this platform, engineered thin-layer assemblies of cyanobacteria and bio-based matrix materials will synergistically enable the redistribution of cell resources, such as energy and carbon flows, towards butanol formation. Simultaneously, S2B will improve light management, enhance CO2 capture efficiency, and facilitate downstream processes by separating butanol from the production medium. Consequently, the primary technological innovation of S2B will be the continuous, long-term direct solar butanol production by photosynthetic cell factories acting as biocatalysts.The process will be integrated with waste effluent and direct air capture, covering the entire value chain from light harvesting and CO2 capture to product separation through the circular economy concept. Acting as a multidisciplinary consortium, S2B will construct a TRL4-level prototype, paving the way for a smooth upscaling process.	none given	none given	none given

CESAR focuses on post-combustion as it is the only feasible technology for retrofit and current power plant technology. Moreover, analysis of the current R&D in Europe shows that there is yet no follow-up to the post-combustion work in the CASTOR project while R&D aimed at other types of carbon capture technologies have been accommodated for. The primary objective is to decrease the cost of capture down to 15€/tCO2. CESAR aims at breakthroughs via a combination of fundamental research on Advanced Separation Processes (WP1), Capture process modelling and integration (WP2) and Solvent process validation studies (WP3) with duration tests in the Esbjerg pilot plant. CESAR will build further on the successes and high potential ideas from the FP6 integrated project CASTOR. Moreover, the pilot built in this project will be used for CESAR. Novel activities and innovations CESAR focuses at are: -Novel (hybrid) solvent systems -New high flux membranes contactors -Improved modeling and integration studies on system and plant level -Testing of new solvents and plant modifications in the Esbjerg pilot plant In the Esbjerg Pilot novel technologies are assessed and compared with mainstream techniques to provide a fast track towards further scale-up and demonstration. CESAR unites leading organisations within the field of CO2 capture, covering the whole value chain from research institutes to end-users. The consortium consists of 3 research organizations, 3 universities, 1 solvent supplier, 1 membrane producer (SME), 3 equipment suppliers, 2 oil and gas companies and 6 power generators (= industrial commitment).	none given	none given	none given	F1

This concept will be demonstrated at Dunkirk between DK6 combined cycle power plant, Arcelor Mittal steel factory and one of the major European harbor, a solid showcase for future replication.The CO2 present in the blast furnace gas will be selectively removed and combined with green hydrogen generated by electrolysis fed with renewable electricity to produce two promising energy carriers. It will allow to simultaneously reuse CO2 emission from the steel-making factory, electricity surplus in the Dunkirk area and to improve the operational and environmental performance of the DK6 combined cycle. C2FUEL unique circular approach could contribute to mitigate up to 2,4 Mt CO2 per year.Key technical and economic challenges to be tackled in the project are high temperature electrolysis, innovative production routes of DME and FA from renewable H2 and captured CO2. The developed processes will be integrated, demonstrated and validated in an industrial relevant environment and the produced fuel will be tested in real end-user systems. Technical-economic-environmental feasibility and societal acceptance will be carried out to ensure the replication potential.C2FUEL key projected targets are an annual production of 2,4 Mt of formic acid, 100 kt of green hydrogen for seasonal storage using 3,6TWh of renewable electricity and 1,2 Mt of DME with 320 kt of green hydrogen using 11TWh of renewable electricity.C2FUEL partnership gathers the whole value chain necessary for production and use of CO2 conversion to carbon-captured energy carriers : carbon captured supply, renewable hydrogen and fuel development, integration to power plant and operation, as well as end-users and international promoters.	none given	none given	none given	F

With biomass feedstocks, CHP can be considered a renewable source. The capture of CO2 from biomass CHP presents an opportunity for carbon removal, aiding Europe’s journey toward negative emissions.Challenges, including supply logistics, feedstock sustainability, and competition with other renewables like wind and solar, must be overcome to achieve cost-effective, low-emission, and decarbonized CHP from solid biomass residues. Additionally, issues like feedstock handling, combustion efficiency, emissions (NOx, SOx, particles), and economic feasibility hinder market development. The BioNETzero project’s objective is to significantly advance three oxy-combustion technologies (oxy-MILD, CLC, and oxy-CFB). The project addresses these technical challenges through real-world testing, modelling, and the development of precise digital tools. Comprehensive regional showcase studies conducted by BioNETzero encompass technological, social, environmental, and economic dimensions. These advancements seek synergies with oxygen supply solutions such as cryogenic methods, alignment with the hydrogen economy, and utilization of solid oxygen carriers. Integration with flue gas cleaning and CO2 conditioning processes facilitates carbon removal, enabling the realization of nearly zero-emission biomass heating and biomass CHP systems, including carbon capture. One of BioNETzero’s advantages lies in its regional focus, recognizing that deployment obstacles often arise at local levels. The project will assess its suite of solutions in regions in transition across Europe, and propose novel solutions for next generation CHP plants.	none given	none given	none given	F1

LC-SC3-RES-3-2020	Methanol is an appealing energy vectors, with attractive volumetric and gravimetric energy values, storable in liquid phase at ambient conditions of pressure and temperature, and that can be used as fuel directly or converted into chemicals or gasoline. However, its production lacks a sustainable route. Thus, the METHASOL project aims to produce methanol through a sustainable and cost-effective process based on the selective visible light driven gas phase CO2 reduction, with a solar to methanol energy conversion efficiency of 5%. During 42 months, METHASOL will gather 14 partners from EU/Associated MS, China and the USA, including some of the world’s most recognized researchers on artificial photosynthesis, to achieve a ground-breaking combination of a CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) system based on Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) and a graphitic Carbon Nitride (g-CN) for photocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER), through a Z-scheme heterojunction.Following the definition of the system specifications (WP1), a first set of materials for OER and CO2RR will be synthesised and their photocatalytic activity and stability will be screened (WP2). The most promising materials will be further analysed thanks to experimental characterisation and modelling (WP3), leading to guidelines used for designing an enhanced CO2RR and OER materials (WP4). The best systems will then be integrated through a Z-scheme heterojunction, either with or without a mediator, and tested in tailored reactors operating in the gas phase under different conditions (WP5). A complete sustainability analysis will be conducted (WP6) to ensure the clean production of methanol. The cooperation between European and Chinese research entities will be consolidated to last beyond the project lifetime through the creation of a common exploitation plan (WP7). Through its ambitious activities on photocatalyst developments for solar to methanol conversion, METHASOL will propose a new path for decarbonizing Europe.	none given	none given	none given

COZMOS will develop an energy-efficient and environmentally and economically viable conversion of CO2 to fuels and high added value chemicals via an innovative, cost effective catalyst, reactor and process. The concept will combine the sequential reactions of CO2 hydrogenation to methanol and methanol to C3 hydrocarbons, exploiting Le Chatelier’s principle to overcome low equilibrium product yields of methanol. Complete conversion of CO2 to a 85 % yield of C3 hydrocarbons will be achieved by using an optimised bifunctional catalyst within a single reactor. The optimised catalyst will allow the combined reactions, that currently run at disparate temperatures and pressures, to operate in a temperature/pressure “”sweet spot””, which will reduce infrastructure and provide energy and production cost savings. The concept will allow tunable production of propane, an easily stored fuel used for heating, cooking and transportation, and the more valuable product propene, a base chemical primarily polymerised to lightweight plastics, depending on location, amount of available renewable energy and economic needs. The integrated technology will be demonstrated at TRL5 on off-gases from the energy intensive steel and refinery industries. Markets for both propane and propene are expected to grow in the coming years, such that the COZMOS technology will contribute to achieving a Circular Economy and diversified economic base in carbon-intensive regions.Throughout the whole value chain development, emphasis will be placed on risk-mitigation pathways and strong industrial involvement, LCA and techno-economic analysis to maximise further exploitation and industrialisation of the results. Specific attention will be paid to social acceptance, including analysis of stakeholder and end-user interests.”	none given	none given	none given	1

With CO2 utilisation at its heart, CO2Fokus will seek to exploit the inherent advantages of both chemical and electrochemical systems to establish robust, industrially optimal proofs-of-concept, reaching TRL 6 by the end of the project. The project will explore energy-efficient processes for two separate, potentially integrated systems, namely a 3D printed multichannel reactor and a solid oxide fuel cell (for co-electrolysis and electrolysis/reverse operation). Both systems will be evaluated for operational flexibility in an industrial environment with a CO2 emission point source. H2, as a renewable energy source, will be supplied via the solid oxide cell operating in electrolysis mode,The central focus will be on producing tangible improvements to the industrial processes in terms of energy efficiency and cost saving, by optimising the most promising conventional catalyst systems as well as innovative carbon-based ones. To this end, the catalyst will be printed and assembled as multi-channel arrays into modular, mobile prototype demonstration units. To enhance the effectiveness of the partners’ innovation efforts and reach ambitious commercial goals, CO2Fokus draws on expertise from partners across the industrial value chain, from industrial CO2 emitters, experts in catalyst manufacturing, petrochemical process engineering, chemistry and fuel cell specialists, offering a wealth of inter-disciplinary and market-oriented experience.	none given	none given	none given	F

These problems pose stimulating challenges for the synthesis of new solvents, aided by detailed molecular modeling of sorbate/sorbent interactions, and for new integrative module designs that enable their effective implementation in a process environment.In this context the IOLICAP proposal gathers expertise and skills form the domains of chemical synthesis of Ionic Liquids (ILs), molecular simulation/mechanical statistics, phase equilibrium, electrochemistry/corrosion, physicochemical/thermophysical characterisation, nanoporous materials & membrane technology and process engineering, aiming at the development and evaluation of novel Task Specific Ionic Liquid (TSILs) solvents that (a) short-term could replace the alkanolamines in currently existing PCC installations and (b) long-term would lead to the establishment of a novel CO2 capture process, based on hybrid absorption bed/membrane technology that will incorporate TSIL modified porous materials and membranes.Task Specific Ionic Liquids exhibit enhanced CO2 capture capacity, which is above the 0.5 mol/mol limit of the currently applied amine solvents. Due to the high number of possible IL structures that will be synthesised during the project and the easy tuneability of their chemical and physical properties it is expected that loading capacities above the threshold of 1 mol/mol will be achieved. In addition, ILs are less corrosive than amines and are dissociated so there is no need for using large quantities of water. ILs are also less volatile and less sensitive to flue gas impurities a fact that ensures less need for timely injection of fresh solvent. The aforementioned properties which will be studied and verified during the project, will have a high impact on the energy intensity of the capture process since they can lead to a significant reduction of the Scrubber/Stripper units size and consequently of the parasitic energy load.Ionic Liquid membranes are lately examined as candidates for CO2/N2 separation exhibiting performances that are above the boundary limit of a Roberson plot for this separation. IOLICAP project targets at the optimisation of the stability, selectivity (200), flux properties (1000-2000 Barrers) and production cost of Task Specific Ionic Liquid membranes and at the further enhancement of the process efficiency, through a combination of membrane technology with bed adsorption. Membrane technology is the less energy intensive candidate for CO2/N2 separation since there is no need for regeneration and constitutes a much more versatile and economically feasible technology especially for applications in energy intensive industry like the cement, steel and refineries.	none given	none given	none given	2

Project HYDROCOW addresses these challenges through a net-zero carbon dairy protein production platform. The main objective of the project isto develop and demonstrate a bacterial protein secretion system where CO2 and soon N2 is valorised into food-grade protein, decoupled from agriculture. This system will base on the first-of-a-kind engineered hydrogen oxidizing bacterium (eHOB) Xanthobacter sp. SoF1. As a first product the main milk component beta-lactoglobulin was chosen.Technically this will be achieved by implementing a Design-Build-Test-Learn (DBTL) cycle linked to a validation and scale-up phase allowing to iteratively optimize the production of secreted protein. The project will deliver key technologies – A) an innovative eHOB protein secretion system; B) predictive eHOB metabolic models, genetic engineering tools, and a novel high-throughput (HTP) screening system for DBTL cycling; and C) the methods for validation and scale-up – with immediate and long-term impact on the production of food and nutrition, materials, medicines, fuels and chemicals. In the long-term, the proposed platform has the potential to not only replace conventionally produced food proteins but also deliver proteins for materials or therapeutics, important for human and animal health. In comparison to current standard microbial production processes our platform does not compete with human nutrition for valuable feedstock, such as glucose, and therefore will contribute to a sustainable development of our society. HYDROCOW will generate significant knowledge for a growing research and application community about autotrophic, microbial production systems, their physiology, and sophisticated tools for genetically designing and screening them.	none given	none given	none given

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 impacts from exposure to known CO2 fluxes. The assessments will be based on field laboratory experiments, measurements at natural leakage sites and numerical simulations, for both marine and terrestrial ecosystems. This will provide new constraints on the impacts of CO2 leakage on humans and onshore and offshore ecosystems. RISCS will provide the underpinning information necessary to: 1. Rigorously evaluate the safety of different storage sites 2. Carry out Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) over different timescales 3. Design storage sites to minimise hazards 4. Help to design near surface monitoring strategies 5. Refine storage licence applications and conditions 6. Develop a framework to communicate the safety of storage to key stakeholders This approach will meet the requirements of OSPAR and the EC Directive both in ensuring environmental protection and the planning of near surface monitoring programmes. The US EPA has recently published rules for CO2 storage, and a ‘Vulnerability Evaluation Framework for geological sequestration of CO2’. RISCS will build on this approach, creating a similar framework addressing European needs. In order to meet these objectives we have assembled a team with very specific and focussed expertise, enabling us to assess both northern and southern European impacts scenarios, onshore and offshore. To maintain a full external perspective on the research, from both scientific and public acceptance viewpoints, we have enlisted leading CCS experts from CSLF partner countries, two NGOs, the IEA GHG programme and industry.	none given	none given	none given	F1

Current multistage CCU technologies using renewable electricity to yield fuels suffer from low energy efficiency and require large CAPEX. eCOCO2 combines smart molecular catalysis and process intensification to bring out a novel efficient, flexible and scalable CCU technology. The project aims to set up a CO2 conversion process using renewable electricity and water steam to directly produce synthetic jet fuels with balanced hydrocarbon distribution (paraffin, olefins and aromatics) to meet the stringent specifications in aviation. The CO2 converter consists of a tailor-made multifunctional catalyst integrated in a co-ionic electrochemical cell that enables to in-situ realise electrolysis and water removal from hydrocarbon synthesis reaction. This intensified process can lead to breakthrough product yield and efficiency for chemical energy storage from electricity, specifically CO2 per-pass conversion > 85%, energy efficiency > 85% and net specific demand < 6 MWh/t CO2. In addition, the process is compact, modular –quickly scalable- and flexible, thus, process operation and economics can be adjusted to renewable energy fluctuations. As a result, this technology will enable to store more energy per processed CO2 molecule and therefore to reduce GHG emissions per jet fuel tone produced from electricity at a substantial higher level. eCOCO2 aims to demonstrate the technology (TRL-5) by producing > 250 g of jet fuel per day in an existing modular prototype rig that integrates 18 tubular intensified electrochemical reactors. Studies on societal perception and acceptance will be carried out across several European regions. The consortium counts on academic partners with the highest world-wide excellence and exceptional industrial partners with three major actors in the most CO2-emmiting sectors.	none given	none given	none given	F1

To achieve this, a direct hydrogen storage into hydrocarbons through CO2 capture and transformation in an advanced bio-refining system is proposed. In this, hydrogen produced by water photoelectrolysis is combined with captured CO2 and directly fed to biocultures that selectively produce isopropanol and butanol as high energy solar fuels, and the only energy input to drive this radical technological system is sunlight. To realise and bring to the market such a system of artificial photosynthesis it is necessary to converge the fields of materials science, biotechnology, engineering and social sciences. The project organisation is multicentred and operates at different levels; from raw materials supply considerations, societal acceptance, materials engineering and nanostructuring to device assembling and applicability. The true converging nature of REFINE provides a holistic, ground-breaking approach that addresses major challenges of our modern societies such as the extensive CO2 emissions and inability for efficient and widely accepted CO2 recycling. The vision in REFINE extends well beyond the 4-year activities proposed in this application. Still, REFINE is the seed for a multidimensional approach to critical scientific and societal challenges.	none given	none given	none given	1

Switching the feedstock from fossil fuels to biomass can significantly reduce the overall CO2 emission; however, it is essential to develop CHP technologies that can utilize low-value biogenic residues and wastes to avoid an increase in the cost of utility. In addition, coupling a bio-CHP plant with CCS results in negative CO2 emissions which is fundamental to many scenarios to reach the net zero emission targets.The Bio-FlexCLC project develops and demonstrates a novel flexible technology for CHP plants at TRL 5 to utilize low-value biogenic residues as feedstock for heat and power production with negative CO2 emissions. Bio-FlexCLC combines the break-through chemical-looping combustion (CLC) technology with conventional circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boilers. The concept is flexible to switch between CLC-CFB modes. Bio-FlexCLC operating in CLC mode has inherent CO2 capture at a low cost and without energy penalty. Bio-FlexCLC utilizes biogenic residues and wastes, improves conversion efficiencies, achieves negative CO2 emissions, reduces SOx and NOx emissions, enhances CO2 capture efficiency at a considerably reduced cost, has flexibility towards load demand fluctuations, and the capacity to switch to CFB combustion if market conditions are not amiable for carbon capture or if there is difficulty in the operation to decreases the risk of implement. Bio-FlexCLC is supported by an expert consortium to ensure the quality of research and appropriate exploitation. The academic partners in the consortium are leading institutions in the areas of CLC and CFB boilers. The industrial partners are technology providers of boilers, chemical looping technologies, as well as gas cleaning and CO2 liquefaction.

The primary focus is on converting the captured CO2 into carbon-negative energy carriers, specifically emphasizing the photosynthetic conversion of biogenic CO2 into energy-rich biomass. The transformation of this biomass into widely used renewable energy carriers, such as biocrude and biogas, is targeted, with an additional emphasis on enriching these carriers with renewable hydrogen to achieve carbon circularity.The project is structured to address key aspects, including; efficient biogenic CO2 capture from effluent systems, development of resilient microalgae strains to enhance resistance to flue gas toxicity, novel biomass pre-treatment methods for cell disruption and nitrogen removal (concurrent production of biostimulants), and improvements in the efficiency and sustainability of hydrothermal liquefaction (biocrude), anaerobic digestion (biogas) and hydrogenotropic conversion of CO2 to biomethane. The ultimate goal is to validate the viability of the developed direct CO2 fixation methods through integration with effluent systems at a pilot scale, reaching TRL5.This multifaceted approach underscores the project’s commitment to advancing sustainable and efficient methods for biogenic CO2 fixation and subsequent conversion into renewable energy carriers. To assess the economic viability, a detailed techno-economic analysis of the proposed carbon capture and use solution will be conducted. Furthermore, sustainability and social impact assessments will be performed, taking into account circular economy principles and addressing social, economic, and environmental aspects in alignment with the priorities outlined in the European Green Deal.	none given	none given	none given

The CO2-REACT ITN addresses these objectives through a balanced combination of 6 academic and 6 industrial teams. The academic partners have been selected for their unique and diverse expertise in the reactivity of carbonate phases at scales ranging from the atomic to the field scale. The six industry partners were selected to represent a spectrum of the largest stakeholders in CO2 storage.

This platform will connect models spanning a wide range of scales from the atomic scale through the particle and cluster scales, the industrial equipment scale and the full system scale.To support the information flow and data sharing between different simulation packages, the NanoSim project will develop an open and integrated framework for numerical design called Porto to be used and distributed in terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). A core co-simulation platform called COSI (also licensed as LGPL) will be established based on existing CFDEMcoupling (an open source particle and continuum modelling platform).To establish this software tool, the project will develop and improve models to describe the relevant phenomena at each scale, and will then implement them on the next coarser scale. This scientific coupling between scales will be supported by sophisticated software and data management in such a way that the actual model implementation in various software packages will be fully automatic.The resulting open source software platform will be used to facilitate the rational design of second generation gas-particle CO2 capture technologies based on nano-structured materials with a particular focus on Chemical Looping Reforming (CLR). However, the final NanoSim platform will be sufficiently generic for application in a wide range of gas-particle contacting processes.Finally, the NanoSim project will demonstrate the capabilities of this multi-scale software platform to custom design an industrial scale reactor/process in a way that most effectively leverages the superior reactivity and tailored selectivity of any specific nano-structured material.

ENIGMA focuses mainly on critical zone observation, but the anticipated technological developments and scientific findings will also contribute to monitor and model the environmental footprint of an increasing range of subsurface activities, including large-scale water abstraction and storage, enhanced geothermal systems and subsurface waste and carbon storage. While many subsurface structure imaging methods are now mature and broadly used in research and practice, our ability to resolve and monitor subsurface fluxes and processes, including solute transport, heat transfer and biochemical reactions, is much more limited.

By increasing the sunlight conversion efficiency and improving light-harvesting and charge separation, NEFERTITI will overcome the remaining technological challenges, improve the competitiveness of the photocatalytic technologies and enable a carbon-neutral production of solar fuels in a single-step process as an alternative to traditional multi-step processes. Novel photocatalytic materials, optical and chemical light-harvesting components and flow reactors will be designed, developed and integrated in a system reaching a TRL4 at the end of the project. Economic and sustainability assessment throughout the entire life cycle will consider socio-economic and environmental impacts, as well as workers’ health & safety to maximize productivity and resource efficiency and minimize the risks.

MSCA-ITN-2018	The main objective of the present ITN project is the formation of a new generation of experts in the subject of CO2valorization using plasma-catalytic coupled processes. Plasma intensification of CO2 valorization processes, such as CO2hydrogenation and dry reforming of methane, can greatly contribute to the stabilization of CO2 concentration in ouratmosphere through the production of synthetic fuels that will be involved in overall zero or near zero emission cycles. Thisalternative utilization of yet C-based fuels will play an important role in our transition to a 100% renewable future. Chemicaland thermochemical CO2 valorization processes are hindered by very slow reaction kinetics. Catalysts are often used but,most of the time, they either are not enough, or their utilization is not feasible under real operation conditions. The use ofplasmas in combination with a well-designed catalyst can turn this sluggish CO2 valorization processes feasible. There ishowever a complete lack of knowledge about almost every aspect of this plasma-catalysis coupling. Research efforts will bethen directed towards the understanding of CO2 plasmas, their interaction with solid catalytic surfaces, the formation ofexcited species and the fundamentals of the reaction mechanisms involved. Different plasmas and different catalysts areneeded. Novel reactor concepts need to be found. The PhD topics cover many different scientific disciplines: from the physics of plasmas to the physicochemical characterization of solid surfaces and catalysis. The students will be instructed in several fields, not only considering science but also other important skills, such as soft skills training, as well as specificformation on managing, marketing and business skills along the duration of this project. To cloture this project aEuropean conference on Plasma Catalysis for CO2 Valorization and Green Chemistry is foreseen.	none given	none given	none given

Driven by the global need of existing and growing markets, combined technologies that make use of renewable energy and the greenhouse gas CO2, and the use of nature’s catalysts such as enzymes and microbial cells through biotransformation steps are expected to have a game changing impact. Such catalysts can operate at ambient conditions at high atom efficiency through environmentally and energetically friendly processes. In this context ECOMO unites bioelectrocatalysis, biohybrid materials sciences, organic synthesis, technical microbiology, and process engineering for CO gas fermentation to acetate and a subsequent production of diamines. The fermentation steps will be achieved by specifically engineered microbial strains using CO as both the carbon source and energy carrier. As core novelty, the CO will be produced in situ apart from the electrode in the bulk solution from CO2 through a mediated electron transfer to free floating beads where CO-dehydrogenase is immobilized within the acetate forming bacterial cell culture. This will enable for the first time, full compatibility between electrochemical and biocatalytic processes. The synthetic aim is to yield high value-added diamine monomers as building blocks for established classes of polymeric materials. ECOMO will establish new bio based and biohybrid modules that will be directly compatible with the existing bioreactor infrastructure for the producing of specialty chemicals directly from CO2. By achieving the production of diamines as a proof-of-concept, ECOMO will foster further diversification to many other products made from CO2 and thus enhances the synthetic availability of needed building blocks for the chemical industry. The decoupling from fossil-sourced energy and raw materials underpin the timeliness of ECOMO.	none given	none given	none given

LC-SC3-RES-1-2019-2020	This proposal will develop enhanced electrolysis devices enabling CO2 to be converted into high value chemicals. Specifically this project will improve selectivity, efficiency and durability of electrochemical CO2 conversion into either carbon monoxide, ethanol or ethylene. The immediate focus will be on the highly economically attractive chemicals industry, with the long term goal of using this as a stepping stone towards the fuels industry. New catalysts, gas diffusion layers, and membranes will all be developed to improve performance in commercially scalable type devices. Single site catalyst will be used to create high selectivity towards carbon monoxide production, whereas a dual catalyst approach will be used to produce ethanol. Variations in morphology and surface structuring will be the key to eliminating side reaction in ethylene production The greatest novelty of this project will be to use modifications in the reaction environment to effect reaction selectivity. The hydrophobicity and pore size will be varied in the gas diffusion layer and anion exchange membranes and ionomers will be developed to improve performance. The entire device will be comprehensively modeled from the quantum regime all the way to the complete device to relate macroscopic changes with catalytic improvements. Developments in both improved catalysts as well as optimization of reaction environment will allow for high CO2 conversion selectivity, (CO 90%, ethanol 80%, ethylene 90%) at high energy efficiencies (> 40%) and at high rates (> 200 mA/cm2). A life cycle analysis will focus on electrical power and CO2 inputs as well as the specific products to discover the most effective market opportunities for this technology moving forward. In addition social acceptance issues will be investigated to ensure this technology is developed in a manner that optimizes this aspect as well.	none given	none given	none given

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 remediation and mitigation techniques will be investigated, including laboratory tests of sealant materials and field demonstrations at the sites of Ketzin (Germany) and Bečej (Serbia). Additional field experiments that cannot be afforded by MiReCOL only will be shared with top-ranked US and Australian partners.The approach in MiReCOL is strictly risk based, which ensures that the results of the project can feed into the regulatory process (protocols, safety regulations, guidelines). This means that the impact of each remediation and mitigation measure is assessed on all relevant risk levels. The results will be published both as handbook and as an interactive web-based tool, to inform both storage project operators and competent authorities on the options available for remediation and mitigation.The inclusion of industrial partners active in CO2 storage ensures the operational experience to assess the efficiency and impact of each measure.	none given	none given	none given	F1

To deliver high-quality flue gas to the RPB-CO2R system, the team will consider several in-situ strategies of particles abatement and process optimization (Design of Experiments coupled with Propagation of Error) combined with the synergetic effect of using biomass blends. Then, the process employs a RPB where the used enzyme is immobilized in cellulosic fibers on the packing material of the RPB, while a solvent is used to capture and transfer the CO2 into a CO2R cell. The immobilized CA allows the enhancement of absorption kinetics while avoiding the need for an unregulated, free-flowing suspension of CA and solvent. The CO2R cell employs novel electrocatalysts (electrodeposition and plasma methods) to produce FA and CO, which are chosen here as they necessitate a 2e- transfer and are the only CO2R products that can compete with conventional production processes. REUSE will prove its enhanced performance under relevant operating conditions by testing: a) an 80 kWth pilot-scale fluidized bed unit enabling co-gasification/combustion runs (as needed) at multiple operating conditions; b) an RPB absorber with fiber-immobilized CA; and c) a CO2R cell with advanced catalysts. After validation of the single units, a pilot-scale fluidized bed, combustion unit will be integrated with the RPB absorber and CO2R cell for integrated system validation in a TRL 5 pilot plant that will enable continuous operation. REUSE strategy includes life cycle and techno-economic assessments as well as socio-economic aspects including SDGs and impacts when applying such solutions in regions in transition from fossil fuels.	none given	none given	none given

The 1 Mw carbonate looping pilot will be built in the Hunosa 50 Mwe CFB coal power plant of “La Pereda”, using a side stream of flue gases of the commercial plant. A parallel research program will be developed along the activities to design, build and test at the pilot, including research activities at lab-scale and fundamental knowledge on sorbent properties.

A key process target of the proposal is ‘direct’ in the sense that fuel production should not require destructive extraction and further chemical conversion to generate directly useable transport fuels. To further increase our chances of delivering a functioning process we target only non-toxic end-products that have been demonstrated to function in existing or minimally modified combustion engines. From the above criteria, we have chosen to develop an exclusively biological production process for the volatile end-products ethylene and short-chain n-alkanes ethane and propane in photosynthetic cyanobacteria.As no natural biochemical pathways are known to exist for short-chain alkane biosynthesis, we first identify potential gene candidates through informatics analysis and then tailor the substrate specificities of the encoded enzymes by enzyme engineering. In order to directly capture solar energy to drive fuel biosynthesis, the synthetic pathways are at first assembled in the photosynthetic model organism Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. It is highly unlikely that mere ‘introduction’ of novel biochemical pathways will result in high-yield synthesis of desired end-products. The final key step is therefore to optimize native host metabolism to deliver reducing energy and metabolic precursors to the synthetic pathways with maximum metabolic flux.Successful construction of the intended strains would allow low-cost production of transport fuel in a potentially neutral ‘greenhouse gas’ emitting process that does not compete for agricultural land. The proposed project is highly relevant to the call as we construct “”new metabolic pathways”” that catalyze “”direct”” production of “”gaseous fuels for transport”” “”directly from solar radiation””.”	none given	none given	none given

This proposal presents a versatile and scalable process for management and valorization of CO2 and nitrogen. Starting from biomass residues, a first step in the proposed scheme involves a pyrolysis process that results in the release pyrolysis oil of rather low heating value. However, combustion under very diluted conditions using a Moderate or Intense Low-oxygen Dilution (MILD) concept allows for efficient and low-pollutant energy conversion. The MILD combustion process is utilized for a CO2 reforming step resulting in generation of syngas. The pyrolysis and the reforming are supplied by heat from the MILD combustion that can be further supplemented by intermittent energy sources such as solar and wind power. The residual char product from the pyrolysis step can be upgraded by activation with CO2 and utilized for adsorption of nitrogen from biomass. The nitrogen-enriched char can then be used for soil carbonization and nitrification. The concept thus addresses the objective of CO2 and nitrogen management with efficient renewable resource deployment. It also adopts a circular approach as it can employ biomass residues as raw material and combines the production of heat and syngas with that of porous biochar materials for several possible utilizations. The process can be adapted by multiple parameters and optimized for different conditions and purposes, and rather than optimizing on a single product or aspect, the concept brings a holistic view. The development of the process will include experimental research with state-of-the-art analysis methods, based on laser diagnostics and neutron scattering, combined with numerical modeling of the thermochemical processes. Life-cycle analysis will be made during the project to guide process development and assess its impact.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-ITN-2016	The energy crisis, environmental pollution and global warming are serious problems that are of great concern throughout the world. Around 40% of the world’s energy consumption is dedicated to the production of materials and chemicals. Thus, there is a need to develop high-performance materials based on renewable resources, simpler to synthesise and cost effective. Carbon materials derived from renewable resources (e.g., biomass) are ideal candidates to meet these needs. The main objective of our proposed Innovative Training Network is to develop new scientific knowledge, capability, technology, and commercial products for biomass-derived carbons (BCs); thus impacting the way that Europe uses and innovates with sustainable carbon materials. This will be accomplished through outstanding research and training programmes for fourteen early-stage researchers (ESRs). Our proposed research programme is feasible given the varied expertise and knowledge of the academic and industrial participants. We expect that GreenCarbon will improve our ability to rationally design a range of functionalised BC-derived materials using different individual and synergistically coupled processes and expand their practical applications. Our research programme comprehensively covers all aspects from precursors (the nature of biomass) to processing (thermochemical conversion, porosity development, chemical functionalisation) and application (e.g., CO2 capture, heterogeneous catalysis and chemicals from biomass) enabling a unique design of engineered sustainable BC materials. At the same time, our training programme is designed with the aim to empower the ESRs through the provision of a comprehensive and coherent training package, which includes complementary competencies and knowledge in all the science, engineering and business skills so as to be capable of deploying new technologies within different environments both inside and outside of academia.	none given	none given	none given

Digital methodologies are exploited and developed to realise an innovative carbon-neutral construction system implementing structural geometries that are compression dominant, optimise the CO2 sequestration capability and make use of demountable discrete blocks combined with system redundancy. The latter will be assisted by the combined use of funicular shapes and post-tensioning with shape memory alloys. To handle the complex geometries in combination with a carbon-negative concrete-like material, an innovative digital pipeline is developed that incorporates for example computed tomography, topology optimization and 3D construction. Using CO2 sequestration to harden the concrete-like material for widely used load bearing structures will reduce embodied greenhouse gas emissions in an unprecedented way. The material design, incorporating recycled materials and by-products derived from other industrial processes (e.g. slags and ashes) will equally reduce raw material usage. The intrinsic durability properties by introducing a system that is not susceptible to rebar corrosion and is deconstructable, will achieve both long service life and circularity, to further reduce the environmental impact of the built environment. The overall superiority of the proposed system with respect to the current state of practice will be demonstrated through a full life cycle analysis.

On the other end, even if CC were successfully implemented, there are not plausible final uses, maybe except geological long-term storage. Our ambitious proposal aims to investigate the viability of a technology able to tackle these challenges at once. Our SUPERVAL technology will develop scientific solutions from low-cost, non-critical raw materials and processes, with the added value of removing/valorizing the NOx contaminants from flue gas.We propose to design and realize an autonomous, solar-powered installation able to capture harmful emissions from flue gas, and valorize them as commodities for the chemical industry, using water as sacrificial source of electrons and protons. The CO2 will be transformed into an organic, energy-rich molecule (formate). The NOx will be also captured and transformed, in combination with N2, into ammonia using the hydrogen obtained in the CO2 co-electrolysis processes. This integrated effort will offer the comprehensive capture and valorization of carbon and nitrogen components in post-combustion emissions, thus limiting pollutants and resulting in added-value chemicals. The corresponding techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment studies will help to shape the components and performance of SUPERVAL as a useful technological advancement in the search for zero net emissions.	none given	none given	none given

For this reason, replacement of fossil fuels with renewables and improved energy efficiency in combination with CO2 capture is needed. Among renewables, biomass will play a major role in satisfying the human energy needs.EUCANwin! will increase viability of the biomass supply chain from forest and develop an efficient heat and power technology with a high share of power production together with negative carbon emissions in international cooperation between EU and Canada.In particular, to overcome these challenges, EUCANwin! involves artificial intelligence in combination with tools and technologies within the biomass supply chain such as the Forest Biomass Atlas (FBA), the tree-length harvesting (TLH) method and the On-board intelligent biomass analyser (OBIBA) to supply sustainable, long-term and cost efficient biomass feedstock for biopower production. Moreover, it will develop the technology of the Biomass-fired Top Cycle (BTC) for a high-efficient electricity production (up to 55%). And the project will finally determine the optimal and cost-efficient CO2 capture technology for the purpose of the BTC conversion process.To do so, EUCANwin! consortium gathers the necessary experience, knowledge and resources. It successfully works as an international cooperation, by means of 10 entities from 6 different countries, including Canada and 5 EU countries (Belgium, Finland, Hungary, Spain and Sweden), among which, 2 Canadian universities, 3 RTD organisations and 5 SMEs to ensure market exploitation (2 industrial companies and 3 innovation consultancies).	none given	none given	none given

It is now an approved European RI Consortium legal entity with its statutory seat in Trondheim, Norway. Under the financial support of the European Union, coordinated by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), ECCSEL has been implemented by a consortium of leading European CCS research institutes over two previous preparatory phases, and two years of initial phase operations supported by the ECCSEL Implementation Phase INFRADEV3 project (GA 675206, 2015-2017).ECCSELERATE builds on these solid foundations. ECCSEL is currently in its early operational phase as an ERIC, and needs to ramp-up to an advanced stage of operation. Based on recommendations from EC stakeholders and the ECCSEL ERIC General Assembly, ECCSELERATE will focus on: •increasing use and ensuring the long-term sustainable operation of ECCSEL ERIC RI;•cost-effective sharing and use of ECCSEL ERIC RI by industry and SMEs;•developing marketing, access and service models for industry and SMEs;•increasing international collaboration and visibility;•exploring the scope for extension to CO2 utilisation technology developments and potential synergies, thereby extending ECCSEL ERIC activities from CCS to CCUS;•expanding ECCSEL ERIC membership and developing its national nodes; and•increasing ECCSEL ERIC’s involvement with ongoing industrial CCS projects.This will enable ECCSEL ERIC to play its key role as specified in the SET-Plan TWG9 CCS and CCU Implementation Plan: ’a world-class research infrastructure facilitating ambitious R&D activities, European industrial initiatives, and education of specialists for the new CCUS industry.’	none given	none given	none given	1

CO2 capture followed by conversion back into fuels would be attractive. The feasibility of this route depends critically on new catalysts that allow quick CO2 hydrogenation to desired products. Most man-made catalysts are supported metal nanoparticles. The influence of the type of metal, particle size and metal-support interaction are increasingly well understood, also due to major contributions from my group. In contrast, the influence of the addition of a few foreign atoms (“promoter”) has so far hardly been investigated for new reactions such as CO2 conversion, while it can have a far larger impact on catalyst activity, selectivity, and stability. My aim is to explore and understand promoters and design new, promoted, catalysts. Several challenges must be overcome, such as measuring the structure under working conditions and unravelling the complex interplay between promoters and other catalyst components. I will combine (1) carbon-based model supports, which allows isolating metal-promoter interaction from other effects, (2) emerging atomic scale characterisation, and (3) high throughput testing under relevant high pressure working conditions. Using these tools, I will address fundamental questions such as:•What is the nature of reducible metal oxide promoters, and their interaction with the active metal, CO2, and reaction intermediates, under working conditions?•How does the structure of alkali promoters explain their influence on the rate of CO2 hydrogenation?•Can we tune the adsorption strength of reaction intermediates, such as adsorbed CO, to obtain product distributions far from equilibrium?A detailed understanding of the electronic and structural interaction between metal nanoparticles and promoters is crucial to rationally design catalysts to selectively, effectively and in a stable manner convert CO2 and H2 into valuable fuels.	none given	none given	none given

This has been difficult because molecular scale processes are often beyond resolution limits but even tiny amounts of an organic compound can dramatically alter mineral properties. My overall objective is to gain previously inaccessible insight into the controls on dissolution and growth in the silicate system, with new, custom built instruments that “”see”” at scales ranging from atomic to macroscopic. My hypothesis is that – by learning from nature – we can develop a universal, conceptual framework for organic molecule activity and from that, tailor them to do as we wish. I chose silicates because basalt mineralises CO2, converting it effectively to carbonate phases, as the Iceland CarbFix method shows – but partly weathered, old, cold basalt is less reactive. My specific objective is to tailor organic molecules to enhance basalt dissolution and carbonate mineral growth, while inhibiting Al-silicates, especially clay and zeolites, which steal cations and block pores. DRIAD will:1) develop mechanistic insight for controlling mineral-fluid interaction;2) produce the first, systematic overview of silicate mineral dissolution, defining precise conditions for cation leaching or Al and Si solvation;3) build a state-of-the-art laboratory for mechanistic studies of fluid-rock interaction at molecular scale and the first ever lab for 4D study of internal rock structure, during reaction, at nm to cm scale;4) create a new paradigm in the climate change challenge – cheap, permanent CO2 mineralisation in old, cold basalts, globally.Even if only partly successful, the new, conceptual framework for organic-mineral interaction will change the game for solving challenges in geoscience and provide insight for medicine (bones, drug delivery) and advanced functional materials (designer crystals).”	none given	none given	none given

FETOPEN-01-2018-2019-2020	Conventional climate change mitigation alone will not be able to stabilise atmospheric CO2 concentrations at a level compatible with the 2°C warming limit of the Paris Agreement. Safe and scalable negative emission technologies (NETs), which actively remove CO2 from the atmosphere and ensure long-term carbon (C) sequestration, will be needed. Fast progress in NET-development is needed, if NETs are to serve as a risk-hedging mechanism for unexpected geopolitical events and for the transgression of tipping points in the Earth system. Still, no NETs are even on the verge of achieving a substantial contribution to the climate crisis in a sustainable, energy-efficient and cost-effective manner. BAM! develops ‘super bio-accelerated mineral weathering’ (BAM) as a radical, innovative solution to the NET challenge. While enhanced silicate weathering (ESW) was put forward as a potential NET earlier, we argue that current research focus on either 1/ ex natura carbonation or 2/ slow in natura ecosystem-based ESW, hampers the potential of the technology to provide a substantial contribution to negative emissions within the next two decades. BAM! focuses on an unparalleled reactor effort to maximize biotic weathering stimulation at low resource inputs, and implementation of an automated, rapid- learning process that allows to fast-adopt and improve on critical weathering rate breakthroughs. The direct transformational impact of BAM! lies in its ambition to develop a NET that serves as a climate risk hedging tool on the short term (within 10-20 years). BAM! builds on the natural powers that have triggered dramatic changes in the Earth’s weathering environment, embedding them into a novel, reactor-based technology. The ambitious end-result is the development of an indispensable environmental remediation solution, that transforms large industrial CO2 emitters into no-net CO2 emitters.	none given	none given	none given

In addition, cost-effective oxygen and hydrogen production processes are urgently needed in gas supply industry. Today existing membranes, however, are not able to meet the requirements for an economical use because of the high costs in combination with limited permeability values and long-term stability in the operating environment. The objective of this project is, therefore, the development of thin mixed conducting membranes for O2 and H2 separation by using a new deposition technique “Low Pressure Plasma Spraying – Thin Film” (LPPS-TF) in combination with nanoporous, highly catalytic layers. TF-LPPS is a technique based on a combination of thermal spray and Physical Vapour Deposition technology. It allows the cost-effective production of thin, dense coatings on large areas at low substrate temperatures and has already successfully been used for the deposition of membranes for the solid oxide fuel cells. In this project both ceramic and metallic substrates will be used for deposition. It is expected that, by using the LPPS-TF process a dense, stable deposit with thickness lower than 20 micron can be obtained. This would allow to increase membrane performances while decreasing their manufacturing costs. Catalytic layers will be also applied to enhance the surface reactions becoming rate limiting for thin membranes. Membrane performances will be assessed in pilot loops in order to meet specific targets in terms of permeability and stability at temperature. A modelling study concerning the integration of the developed membranes in power and hydrogen production plants will be also performed. This will provide inputs for process scale-up and cost evaluation in the selected plant configurations in order to approach zero CO2 emission and a CO2 capture cost of 15 €/ton.	none given	none given	none given	F

A distinct improvement in the ecological footprint of the envisaged chemical industries will thus be achieved by: i) boosting the potential of lignocellulosic biorefineries by exploiting secondary by-products such as furfurals or lignin; ii) providing a small but non-negligible contribution to the reduction of CO2 release into the atmosphere by exploitation of sunlight as an energy source. The most crucial development in the project will be the development of a PEC reactor capable of converting CO2 into methanol by exploiting water and sun light with a targeted conversion efficiency exceeding 6%, with reference to wavelengths above 400 nm, and an expected durability of 10.000 h. The above specifications must be reached without using expensive noble metals or precious materials which should enable costs of the PEC panels lower than 60 Euro/m2 including the installation. Catalytic reactions of methanol and furfural to produce perfuming agents via partial oxidation or methylation, as well as of lignin or lignin depolymerisation derivatives to produce adhesives or monomers (e.g. p-xylene) will undergo a R&D programme to achieve cost effective production of green fine chemicals, proven by the end of the project via lab bench tests of at least 100 g/h production rates.

Therefore the development of carbon lean technologies producing hydrogen at reasonable price from renewable or low CO2 emitting sources like nuclear is of utmost importance. It is the case of water electrolysis, and among the various technologies, high temperature steam electrolysis (so-called HTE or SOE for Solid Oxide Electrolysis) presents a major interest, since less electricity is required to dissociate water at high temperature, the remaining part of the required dissociation energy being added as heat, available at a lower price level. In addition, technologies that offer the possibility not only to transform energy without CO2 emissions, but even to recycle CO2 produced elsewhere are rare. High temperature co-electrolysis offers such a possibility, by a joint electrolysis of CO2 and H2O, to produce syngas (H2+CO), which is the standard intermediate for the subsequent production of methane or other gaseous or liquid fuels after an additional processing step.These aspects are covered by the SOPHIA project.A 3 kWe-size pressurized HTE system, coupled to a concentrated solar energy source will be designed, fabricated and operated on-sun for proof of principle. Second, it will prove the concept of co-electrolysis at the stack level while operated also pressurized. The achievement of such targets needs key developments that are addressed into SOPHIA.Further, SOPHIA identifies different “power to gas” scenarios of complete process chain (including power, heat and CO2 sources) for the technological concept development and its end-products valorisation. A techno-economic analysis will be carried out for different case studies identified for concepts industrialization and a Life Cycle Analysis with respect to environmental aspects according to Eco-indicator 99 will be performed.	none given	none given	none given	F

To support decision makers retrofitting protocols and a software tool catalogue that gathers knowledge will be developed and validated. We will demonstrate these tools and the innovative solutions aimed at carbon capture mineralization, which also aids in deacidifying our seas; energy savings for HVAC systems through air-reuse; carbon and water capture with membranes, and the use of excess engine heat to produce a syngas to save on fuel consumption. An ultra-sound technology will be tailored to suit vessels allowing air-reuse saving energy for HVAC systems and operated as pre-treatment enhancing a membrane carbon capture process. The Ca/Mg – alkali solvent capture process is capable of removing 75% of the CO2 from flue gases. All solutions will be demonstrated first on a land-based engine followed by the selection of the most suitable solution for a demonstration on a waterborne vessel. The (land-based) demonstrations will represent the operation of a majority of vessel engines. By developing retrofitting protocols, simulations of the solutions, data generated at the demonstrations a software catalogue tool will be developed. Through engagement activities this tool will gain more users and more knowledge, its value and effectiveness will increase for all users. The project aims to bring the different solutions to TRL 8. The demonstrations, the software tool catalogue, and the dissemination and exploitation activities ensure that project results will be replicated globally.

The new approach proposed to reach this objective is the development of ultra thin membrane layers by e.g. CVD, PVD or Sol-Gel techniques with catalytic activation of the surfaces. This approach is supposed to make available highly stable membrane materials, which are currently out of discussion as the oxygen permeation measured on thick membranes is too low. Sufficiently high oxygen fluxes shall be obtained by (i) ultra thin membrane layers on porous supports to minimize diffusion barriers; (ii) catalytic surface activation to overcome slow surface exchange/reaction kinetics; and (iii) thin-film nano-structuring, generating new diffusion paths through the grain boundaries in a nano-crystalline matrix. The membrane development is supported by thermo-mechanical modelling as well as atomistic modelling of transport properties. The produced oxygen is provided to Oxyfuel power plants or chemical processes such as oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) to higher hydrocarbons or HCN synthesis, which will contribute in a way to the mitigation of CO2 emissions. Oxyfuel power plants combust fuels using pure oxygen forming primarily CO2 and H2O making it much easier and cheaper to capture the CO2 than by using air. The major advantages of OTM are significantly lower efficiency losses than conventional technologies and the in principle infinite oxygen selectivity. OCM produces higher hydrocarbons directly without forming CO2 and HCN synthesis can be improved by process intensification resulting in energy and subsequent CO2 savings.	none given	none given	none given

In order to protect the earth s climate, energy conversion efficiency and the use of sustainable resources have to be improved significantly to reduce the emission of the greenhouse gas CO2. To maintain our high standard of living and to enhance it for developing countries, the improved technologies have to be cost-neutral. Gas turbines play today a major role in energy generation. In the future, gas turbines will become even more important, when old coal-fired steam cycle power plants are replaced by integrated gasification plants. However, current gas turbine technology experiences a flattening technology curve and further increase in total efficiency at low NOx emissions is only achieved in incremental small steps. Additionally, current technology is not prepared to operate on hydrogen-rich fuels from biological resources or coal gasification. A new approach was developed that promises a significant improvement in efficiency and emissions and provides the ability to burn hydrogen-rich fuels. For operation on carbon-containing fuels, it enables CO2 capture at low cost. The concept is based on a high pressure air-steam gas turbine cycle using extremely high amounts of steam. The goal of the proposed project is to investigate the fundamentals of ultra wet combustion to develop the technology for a prototype combustor which is capable of burning natural gas, hydrogen and fuels from coal or biowaste gasification at low NOx emissions. Research will include the combustion process, the aerodynamic design, acoustics and control, combining the main disciplines of the Chair of Experimental Fluid Dynamics.	none given	none given	none given

LCE-24-2016	ROLINCAP will search, identify and test novel phase-change solvents, including aqueous and non-aqueous options, as well as phase-change packed bed and Rotating Packed Bed processes for post-combustion CO2 capture. These are high-potential technologies, still in their infancy, with initial evidence pointing to regeneration energy requirements below 2.0 GJ/ton CO2 and considerable reduction of the equipment size, several times compared to conventional processes . These goals will be approached through a holistic decision making framework consisting of methods for modeling and design that have the potential for real breakthroughs in CO2 capture research. The tools proposed in ROLINCAP will cover a vast space of solvent and process options going far beyond the capabilities of existing simulators. ROLINCAP follows a radically new path by proposing one predictive modelling framework, in the form of the SAFT-γ equation of state, for both physical and chemical equilibrium, for a wide range of phase behaviours and of molecular structures. The envisaged thermodynamic model will be used in optimization-based Computer-aided Molecular Design of phase-change solvents in order to identify options beyond the very few previously identified phase-change solvents. Advanced process design approaches will be used for the development of highly intensified Rotating Packed Bed processes. Phase-change solvents will be considered with respect to their economic and operability RPB process characteristics. The sustainability of both the new solvents and the packed-bed and RPB processes will be investigated considering holistic Life Cycle Assessment analysis and Safety Health and Environmental Hazard assessment. Selected phase-change solvents, new RPB column concepts and packing materials will be tested at TRL 4 and 5 pilot plants. Software in the form of a new SAFT-γ equation of state will be tested at TRL 5 in the gPROMS process simulator.	none given	none given	none given

SOREC2 brings expertise in photonic structure design (for optimal sunlight harvesting) together with expertise in catalysis (to reduce CO2 into products that can store chemical energy or with a high economical interest). On the light harvesting side, ICFO will develop a system composed of three complementary light-absorbing elements in order to obtain the largest possible broadband sunlight harvesting. This system will rely on newly developed light trapping nano-configurations and will enable fine tuning of the potential energy needed for the reduction reactions via an innovative arrangement of the low, middle and high bandgap materials. CALTECH will develop a hybrid catalyst system, exploiting a novel combination of CO2 reduction catalysts with a redox/proton mediator to lower overpotentials and enhance selectivity towards C2 products such as ethanol or ethylene. For the photoanode, where the chemistry and the optics in a photoelectrochemical cell (PEC) are interwoven, UAB and ICFO will design a multilayer configuration to achieve an optimal electro-chemistry, while not undermining the optical performance of such PEC. To ensure a transformation of the scientific research into a technology breakthrough with substantial economical and societal impacts, SOREC2 incorporates UNIFE to define the PEC upscaling roadmap and the companies GEM, SAULE, and VITSOLC for the creation of new markets. Finally, to identify non-technical barriers (such as political, economic, and societal) that SOREC2 may encounter, and to engage relevant stakeholders and citizens on the route towards market uptake, SOREC2 incorporates DBT, a non-profit organization whose mission is to ensure that technology development is shaped and informed by cooperation between citizens, experts, stakeholders, and decision-makers.	none given	none given	none given

However, at present, significant improvement in the photocatalysts and reactor technology is required for solar fuels’ production to become technically feasible, scalable, affordable, secure, sustainable, and efficient. DESIRED is a high-risk high-return project, focused on establishing the technological feasibility and sustainability of a novel fuel production system – the DESIRED system – for direct coprocessing of, possibly atmospheric, CO2 and water to produce multi-carbon (C2+) energy-rich products using sunlight as primary energy source. The DESIRED system will produce C2+ solar fuels (without overlooking C1 species such as methanol or methane) by direct coprocessing of CO2 and water using novel and recyclable hybrid photo-electrocatalysts, supported on frustules or zeolites, in an innovative photoreactor design applying, for the first time, oscillatory flow principles, combined with direct light irradiation. With regards to applications, DESIRED will focus on products, which, by 2050, would be used per se or as intermediates to produce drop-in fuels for sectors where direct shift to batteries or H2 is not a technically and cost-efficient option (e.g. aviation). Knowledge of the economic affordability, environmental benefits, and social acceptability of this approach will be investigated. DESIRED promotes an interdisciplinary approach to research and innovation undertaken by a consortium of 7 European partners and complemented by cross-cutting activities including modelling, process simulation, sustainability, and techno-economic assessment as well as impactful dissemination, communication, capacity-building and exploitation activities that support the exchange of knowledge across and beyond the consortium and project.	none given	none given	none given

It aims to deliver at least 15% saving of energy consumption in domestic boiler industry (~40 million domestic boilers in the EU with a growth rate of 15% per year); equating to 3.6 billion Euros saved per year. For this ambitious goal, SOI-HITS will develop innovative CMOS-compatible, Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) integrated smart microsensor systems, capable of multi-measurand (water vapour, temperature, gas, flow, UV/IR) detection under harsh environment conditions (to 225oC, high water vapour level). SOI technology has several advantages over bulk silicon: enhanced electro-thermal isolation giving lower power consumption, ease of forming arrays of MEMS membranes, option of tungsten as a high temperature CMOS metal, direct integration of high-performance temperature and UV optical solid-state sensors. The smart multisensor chip will comprise multiple micro-hotplates with tungsten micro-heaters onto which selective nanostructured and thin film metal oxide sensing layers have been deposited. For the gas sensors (CO2 (concentration 6-10%, CO (0-1000ppm), and H2S (0-100ppm)), we will achieve fast thermal response time of a few ms and loss per micro-hotplate below 0.2mW/oC. Water vapour sensors, flow sensors (for liquid & gas) and precision on-chip temperature controllers will be also integrated. On-chip processing electronics, including drive circuitry, filters, amplifiers, processing circuits and analogue to digital interfaces, operating at 225oC, will be developed. The extension of the SOI platform to optical detectors, such as UV photodiode flame detectors and IR combined sources/detectors, will be explored.

This approach is driven by the main requirement for successful replacement of traditional gas and vapour separation processes by membrane-based separations: a radical improvement of the permeability and selectivity compared to state-of-the-art commercially available membranes.The use of nanocomposite and nanostructured membrane materials is seen as one of the few approaches with the real potential to achieve this goal and in this respect several combinations of polymers and nanoparticles will be tested. Different types of nanoparticles will be used, which are all able or have the potential to create preferential channels for mass transport: both single wall and multi wall carbon nanotubes, zeolites, mesoporous silicas and cucurbituril derivatives.

Whilst improving vehicle efficiency is a key cost-effective way of reducing CO2 emissions in the transport sector, biofuels will play a significant role in replacing liquid fossil fuels (particularly for those modes of transport which cannot be electrified). Production and use of biofuels can provide benefits such as increased energy security, reducing dependency on oil imports and reducing oil price volatility. Biofuels can also support economic development through creating new sources of income.BAC-TO-FUEL will respond to the global challenge of finding new sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels by developing, integrating and validating a disruptive prototype system at TRL5 which is able to transform CO2/H2 into added-value products in a sustainable and cost-effective way which:1)mimics the photosynthetic process of plants using novel inorganic photocatalysts which are capable of producing hydrogen in a renewable way from photocatalytic splitting of water in the presence of sunlight2)uses enhanced bacterial media to convert CO2 and the renewable hydrogen into biofuels (i.e. ethanol and butanol both important fuels for transport) using a novel electro-biocatalytic cell which can handle fluctuations in hydrogen and power supply lending itself to coupling to renewable energy technologiesBAC-TO-FUEL is a multidisciplinary project which brings together leaders in the fields of materials chemistry, computational chemistry, chemical engineering, microbiology and bacterial engineering.

Transport is a sector where so far it has proved harder to reduce emissions, while being one of the main energy users and source of emissions. Transport sectors such as aviation heavily depend on high energy density fuels, for which sustainable biofuels are the best near term low-carbon renewable alternative. Biofuel production based on algae is being considered as a main clean energy alternative and one of the most promising solutions. However, there are several challenges that hinder development and application of algae-based biofuel, ranging across the entire value chain. SUSTEPS main overall objective is to improve key knowledge, identify systemic constraints and opportunities, and propose solutions for the scaling up of a sustainable algae-based biofuel value chain. It aims to contribute to cost-effective and more sustainable large-scale production of sustainable algae-based biofuels by developing and validating a bio-refinery concept that efficiently produces sustainable biofuel from non-food/feed microalgae via CO2 fixation from high-emission facilities and through feeding on nutrient-rich wastewater, thereby minimising biomass production costs and utilising harmful CO2 emitted from energy-intensive activities. The process will be coupled with green hydrogen to be used in upgrading of microalgae-based fuel, and smart integration of processes that also produce value-added chemicals, valorising all side streams effectively. Based on international collaboration, SUSTEPS will build a more efficient, less costly CO2-to-biofuels process, identifying systemic constraints, opportunities and solutions for scaling up the value chain of algae-based sustainable biofuels which will support the development of best practices and concepts along the entire value chain and accelerate the scale-up of sustainable biofuels worldwide.	none given	none given	none given

Ethylene, an energy-rich chemical produced from fossil fuels in industry, has both high commercial value and a giant global market. SUNCHEM’s ambitions will simultaneously reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and mitigate carbon emission by CO2 conversion. For that purpose, SUN2CHEM partners will conjointly develop all the components to be integrated into tandem photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells and advanced photocatalytic (PC) reactors. The technical part of this project includes applied and fundamental research on photocatalysis to improve light-harvesting and charge separation in heterojunctions and plasmonic bimetallic nanoparticles united in a PC reactor (WP2). Next WPs focus on the development of up-scalable efficient and stable photoelectrodes (WP3) and the design of earth-abundant catalysts (WP4), which will then be integrated into the tandem PEC (WP5). Both PC reactor and PEC device will be tested and characterised in operating conditions (WP6). In addition to this highly technical core, this project has for ambition to perform related environmental and social studies in order to integrate the developed technology within a context of circular economy, assess the energy security impacts on end-users and increase the social acceptance of chemicals produced from sunlight conversion (WP7). A prospective market analysis and roadmap towards the upscaling of the technology will then evaluate its medium-term potential and establish pathways towards its future industrial development (WP8).

It complements the HY-CO ERA-NET for hydrogen and fuel cells that in the foreseeable future will rely of fossil based technologies. It also has synergies with the Bioenergy ERA-NET. Global energy demand is anticipated to double by about 2030. Satisfying this increased energy demand will pose many challenges. These include concerns about global climate change, security of energy supply, the role of nuclear power and the us e of renewable energy. FENCO recognises this evolving energy situation and aims to ensure that the EU fossil fuel technology industry can compete effectively in the marketplace. This will be achieved by the networking of Member States Fossil Energy Pro grammes to establish, in conjunction with stakeholders, a critical mass Europe-wide initiative that can compete with the USA and Japan. Continued use of fossil fuels will only be acceptable as part of an overall carbon management strategy. This is alread y acknowledged within the German COORETEC initiative and the emerging UK Carbon Abatement Technologies (CATs) strategy that recognise the importance of the ?twin trajectory? approach to fossil fuels RD&D. First the ongoing drive for efficiency impr ovement and secondly the commercial development of acceptable cost options for carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS). It is therefore proposed that the scope of FENCO embraces both efficiency improvement and CCS. The partners in FENCO represent all t hose countries active in fossil fuel research together with stakeholders and technology suppliers. The expected result from FENCO will be a self-supporting ERA-NET that will evolve in line with the enlarging EU.

No single project considers multiple different smaller sources. The technical problems involved are different, due to the multiple combination of fumes and CO2 mixtures; further, the need of a low pressure pooling network adds additional complexity to the problem. The objective of this project is to study the particular problem involved in combining such small emitters. Some geographical zones are already considering grouping the fumes collected from different emitters in order to reduce treatment costs. This is the case for the Le Havre (France) and Rotterdam (Netherlands) CCS projects. Both could be part of a future CCS demonstration projects network. Flue gases could stream to common CO2 capture facilities, and CO2 could be collected and shipped at a large scale to storage sites. In COCATE we address safety, lifetime and economic issues, in order to fill and explore the following technological gaps: -Impurities: thermodynamic studies -Corrosion: coatings, impurities impact, modelling -Dynamic transport instabilities, simulation tool, modelling: network management -Simulation of critical onshore and offshore failure predicting flow behaviour and environmental impact (high pressure), physical modelling: risk assessment -Applicable macro and micro economical business models. The project deliverables will directly support companies (both technically and through a risk framework) that will have to apply CCS processes. This will be achieved by a strong link between research organisations and industries from 4 EU countries and 1 CSLF country. The application of different export scenarios based on Le Havre and Rotterdam real cases, considering pipes or boats and different storage sites, will generate guidelines for small emitters and will support the ongoing CCS South African projects actually focused only on capture and storage problems.	none given	none given	none given	1

The purpose of the Network is to foster knowledge sharing amongst large-scale European CCS demonstration projects and contribute to raising public understanding of the potential of this technology, for ultimately achieving commercially viable and safe CCS by 2020. Through its mission the Secretariat will support the implementation of the CCS European industrial initiative roadmap launched in the framework of the SET-Plan.Consistent with the call, the Secretariat will provide the necessary functions to ensure the continued operation of the CCS Project Network while guaranteeing efficiency, reactivity and visibility of the Network, with maximum impact. Typical tasks will include: overall management functions of the Secretariat such as organisation and facilitation of management meetings (including the Advisory Forum), and provision of secretarial support to the Network members and the Steering Committee; handling applications of new members to maintain an open Network of projects that meet the qualification criteria; coordination of CCS demonstration projects to realise the efficiencies of collective action; knowledge sharing and communication activities such as maintenance of a website and timely and accurate presentation of aggregated results and progress of the demonstration projects; participation in international events and overall fostering of international cooperation; and actions to increase public awareness taking into account the need to address the perception of safety, long term liability and environmental impacts of CCS.In terms of running the Network, the Global CCS Institute provides an extensive body of expertise in CCS, expertise in facilitations, and extensive experience in project knowledge sharing and data analysis. The offering will be further supported by IFPEN, SINTEF and TNO, three major research organisations in the field of CCS, and who have expertise on the whole CCS chain. In line with the CCS Project Network Knowledge Sharing Protocol, knowledge sharing will establish an appropriate balance between commercial exploitation and the public good associated with accelerating technology diffusion and development. This task will involve the organisation, management and dissemination of outputs from at least two annual knowledge sharing workshops on different specific themes of common relevance to CCS demonstration and deployment.Ultimately this proposal has the distinct composition of extensive commercial and research expertise in CCS, facilitation skills, project management skills, the ability to both draw in experts and information from around the work, and facilities to distribute the findings of the Network on a global scale.	none given	none given	none given	F1

It is a highly efficient, cost-effective, and scalable (small-to large-scale) concept for large-capacity renewable energy storage. Extended capacity is obtained due to the underground system. It can be integrated into the grid, heating and cooling districts and industries. It also has the capacity for partial CO2 sequestration. The main objective of the project is to provide scientific proof of the techno-economic feasibility of the technology, raising the current low TRL 2 to TRL 4 by addressing gaps in the interface between surface transcritical cycle and the subsurface CO2 storage.CEEGS follows a 3-phase approach: i) From theoretical principles to models, simulations and processes in which advanced numerical simulations integrate reservoir behaviour, wellbore design and surface plant design; ii) From models and simulations to systems/experimental verification addressing CEEGS integration and efficiency in energy systems, with digital functional and laboratory models developed and components validated with results from the CO2 pilot-scale projects and; iii) Social, economic and sustainability assessments where social acceptance studies, LCA and TEA tools evaluate impacts and concept deployment with renewables, hard-to-decarbonise industries, district heating and cooling, or in grid balance.

The project will achieve this through the development, construction and validation at TRL 4, of an integrated, cost competitive process for conversion of CO2 to potassium formate using an electrocatalytic process powered by renewable electricity. The highly stable potassium formate generated by the reactor will be stored safely for long periods (from short term or seasonal) in tanks. The subsequent conversion of the stored potassium formate to electricity on demand will use a direct fuel cell system. The project includes development of the individual components (CO2 to formate and formate to electricity), CO2 sourcing and purification and ultimately the construction and validation of an integrated protoype at TRL 4. This will be achieved by the implementation of a series of interconnected work packages. FRESH is structured around five technical work packages (WPs 2-6) and two ‘enabling/value adding’ work packages (WPs 1 and 7), supporting dissemination, exploitation and management activities. FRESH addresses the work program topic by (1) developing a new renewable energy storage technology (2) highly workable concept & approach, (3) implementation work plan & strategy, (4) a validated prototype at TRL 4, (5) participants with excellent track records for project execution and exploitation and (6) comprehensive LCA and TEA and energy market evaluation of this new technology.

Power-to-X methods are promising due to their negligible discharge rate but up to now all the efforts have been based on the use of H2 obtained by electrolysis, and the TEAs have shown that the high cost of the electrolysers hinders greatly its possibilities of industrial use.EffiTorch aims at developing an alternative breakthrough technology for Power-to-X based on the direct splitting of CO2, using an ultra-high temperature thermal plasma, with the simultaneous valorisation of low value bio-waste, leading to the efficient production of syngas. EffiTorch aims to reach carbon efficiencies higher than 90% and energy efficiencies higher than 60%, outperforming the best solutions available presently.Some of the research groups in Effitorch have a vast experience in CO2 splitting using Microwave (MW) plasma torches. Nevertheless, recently a compound approach that combines CO2 splitting by thermal plasmas with a quenching using the very endothermic reverse Bouduard reaction (RBR) has been developed in China that vastly improves the promising results obtained in the splitting of CO2 , while solving one of the yet unresolved issues, that of the efficient separation of the gases obtained. EffiTorch aims to explore the possibilities offered by a much improved version of the experimental set-ups used by the Chinese groups, including additional sophistications like the ultrasonic atomization of a bio-oil obtained by Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) from sewage sludge, the use of high temperature reactors with plasma confinement and the implementation of a secondary heating of the plasma by induction with HF frequency (100-400 KHz), that could improve the energy efficiency and reduce costs.	none given	none given	none given

This objective will be achieved through integrated research into the field based technology knowledge gaps, such as cavity progression and geomechanics, potential groundwater contamination and subsidence impacts, together with research into process engineering solutions in order to assess the role/impact of site specific factors (coal type, depth/pressure, thickness, roof and floor rock strata, hydrology) and selected reagents on the operability of a given CO2 emission mitigation option in a coalfield.CO2 storage capacity on site for European and international UCG resources will be assessed and CO2 mitigation technologies based on end use of produced synthetic gas will be evaluated. The technology options identified will be evaluated with respect to local and full chain Life Cycle environmental impacts and costs.The project takes a radical and holistic approach to coupled UCG-CCS, and thus the site selection criteria for the coupled process, considering different end-uses of the produced synthetic gas, covering other options beyond power generation, and will evaluate novel approaches to UCG reagent use in order to optimise the whole process. This approach aims at minimising the need for on-site CO2 storage capacity as well as maximising the economic yield of UCG through value added end products, as well as power generation, depending on the local coalfield and geological conditions.	none given	none given	none given	F

Mankind’s current challenge is to reverse the increase of greenhouse gases emissions to mitigate the serious consequences on the global climate. In this scenario, the transition of modern society to a more sustainable and circular economy must be accelerated. One of the key pillars of this transition is the implementation of a sustainable CO2 cycle, based on net-zero emissions Carbon Capture and Utilization processes. Membrane-based technologies could play a pivotal role to bring this vision closer to reality. Indeed, thanks to their high efficiency, scalability, easy operability, they are candidates for the efficient capture and use of CO2. The goal of DAM4CO2 is to develop a novel membrane technology for the simultaneous CO2 separation and its photocatalytic conversion to C4+ molecules, as renewable fuels. DAM4CO2 will overcome the conventional membrane technologies by developing double active membranes (DAMs) with a durable and highly selective gas separation layer and a photocatalytic layer able to simultaneously combine in one pot reverse water gas shift (RWGS) and Fisher-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) to obtain C4+ molecules. The project will deliver a prototype, designed using the design-build-test-learn approach, for a proof-of-concept validation in lab-conditions. Close attention will be paid to the use of non-critical raw materials at every stage of the process, and the carbon-neutrality of the entire process will be certified by a full life cycle analysis. DAM4CO2 brings together the complementary expertise of our team in the areas of organic, inorganic and physical chemistry, materials science, and chemical engineering for the development, synthesis, and characterization of the starting materials, and for the design, construction, and application of membrane modules. DAM4CO2 will implement a sustainable, cost and energy effective net zero carbon CO2 cycle.	none given	none given	none given

FETOPEN-01-2016-2017	This Project is about bringing a suite of chemical reactions (and its related non-biological compounds and elements) to the biological fold (i.e. their ‘biologization’) by going beyond the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology (DNA→ RNA→ proteins→ metabolism) through both tuning and overcoming the uni-directionality of the information flow. To reverse-engineer reactions into a biological code, the utility function of the chemical process of interest will be progressively coupled to the fitness function of a live carrier (e.g. an engineered, synthetic or cyborg-ized bacterial chassis), the intermediate steps being supported by automated chemo-robots. The new-to-nature reactions (NTN) pursued within the MADONNA lifetime as case studies will include CO2 capture and recruitment of elemental silicon to become part of essential organo-Si metabolites. Along with the development of the new reactions, the research agenda of the Project will also include the [i] modelling and prediction on the impact of the new biotransformations on the overall functioning of the Biosphere once/if adopted at a large scale by the industrial sector and [ii] design of environmental simulators for evaluating the performance and evolution of the new biological reactions under given physico-chemical settings. With such approaches, MADONNA aims to fill many of the gaps between the 3 types of global-scale processing of chemical elements operating in our planet: Geochemical, Biological and Industrial. The scale of applications of the foundational technologies developed herein (which spin themselves much beyond CO2 and silicon) is unprecedented and a large number of societal ramifications including ethical, security, safety, economic, governance and public perceptions aspects at stake will be included.

The EU, aligning with the Paris Agreement, aims to reduce emissions by 40% and increase renewables share to 32% by 2030. Another challenge that the globe faces is the massive accumulation of PET plastic waste, prompting the EU to seek innovative recycling solutions. Solar-powered systems offer a clean, cost-effective alternative by converting CO2 into fuels while simultaneously recycling PET waste into high-value products. Moreover, integrating PET oxidation also aims to overcome the substantial overpotential loss associated with conventional reactions, making the process more efficient. The project PHOENIX seeks to facilitate the step-wise conversion of CO2 (initially from CO2 to CO, followed by converting CO into propanol) and simultaneously transform PET plastic waste into glycolic acid through an innovative strategy. The proposed concept stems from designing a multi-reactor CO2 reduction pathway that smoothly integrates photovoltaic-electrolyzer (PV-EC) and photoelectrochemical (PEC) technologies. To facilitate these processes, PHOENIX will develop and integrate an advanced tandem photovoltaic system that generates> 2 V, novel electrocatalysts that convert CO to n-PrOH and PET to glycolic acid and efficient photoelectrodes. Finally, the PHOENIX concept will also be validated to TRL 3-4 through a lab-scale demonstration, identifying and tackling the environmental impact through Life Cycle Assessment and evaluating the materials’ recyclability. PHOENIX addresses two pressing global issues in a high-risk/high-return kind of approach, ultimately promoting a breakthrough in the renewable energy sector.	none given	none given	none given

So far, the cost of CCS is dominated by the CO2 capture, reason why new capture techniques should be developed.Adsorption techniques have already been evaluated for CO2 capture. So far, the main drawbacks of this technique are the energetic demand to regenerate the adsorbent and obtain high purity CO2. However, the utilization of commercially available materials was employed in the former evaluations. New materials with targeted properties to capture CO2 from flue gases can improve the performance of adsorption processes significantly.The vision of MATESA is to develop an innovative post-combustion capture termed as Electric Swing Adsorption (ESA). The utilization of hybrid CO2 honeycomb monoliths with high-loading CO2 materials (zeolites and MOFs) will be targeted. Classical ESA regeneration is done by passing electricity through the adsorbent, releasing adsorbed CO2 that can be recovered at high purity.A game-changing innovation in MATESA is the development of a regeneration protocol where electricity is only used to increase the purity of CO2 in the column and further regeneration is done using available low-grade heat. The predicted energy savings of the developed process may transform this CO2 capture process in a key component to make CCS commercially feasible in fossil fuel power plants going into operation after 2020.In order to realize a proof of concept of the proposed process, a strong component of the project will deal with the development of a hybrid material that is able to selectively adsorb CO2, conduct electricity, result in a low pressure drop and have reduced environmental impact. The development of such a material is important for MATESA and will also have a significant impact to increase the energy efficiency of pre-combustion CO2 capture and other energy intensive gas separations.	none given	none given	none given	1

Specific objectives are to develop:•Local CCUS development plans, with local business models, within promising start‐up regions;•Connection plans with transport corridors between local CCUS clusters, and with the North Sea infrastructure, in order to improve performance and reduce costs, thus contributing to build a Europe-wide CCUS infrastructure.As recommended by the SET Plan Action 9, the STRATEGY CCUS project will study options for CCUS clusters in Eastern and Southern Europe, as at present the CCUS clusters being progressed are concentrated in Western Europe around the North Sea. Therefore, the project is timely for the strategic planning for CCUS development in the whole of Europe.Strategic planning will consider 8 promising regions, within 7 countries (ES, FR, GR, HR, PO, PT, RO) representing 45% of the European CO2 emissions from the industry and energy sectors. These regions satisfy CCUS relevant criteria: presence of an industrial cluster, possibilities for CO2 storage and/or utilization, potential for coupling with hydrogen production and use, existing studies, and political will. The methodology starts with a detailed mapping of CCUS technical potential of the regions together with a comprehensive mapping of local stakeholders and a process for their engagement. This will pave the ground for CCUS deployment scenarios including assessment of ‘bankable’ storage capacity, economic and environmental evaluation. The project strength relies on of a highly skilled consortium with experience on the whole CCUS chain as well as key transverse skills. CCUS development plans will be elaborated in close cooperation with stakeholders, through the Regional Stakeholder Committees and the Industry Club, to ensure plans can be implemented, i.e. socially acceptable.	none given	none given	none given	F1

FETOPEN-01-2018-2019-2020	FuturoLEAF envisions to exploit know-how in nanocellulose materials and cell biology to revolutionize the field of industrial algal biotechnology by conceptually renewing tailored solid-state cell factories. FuturoLEAF introduces algal-based biocatalysts with functional architecture formulated from nanocellulose building blocks and designed on the principles of plant leaf anatomy and function. Knowledge of bio-based materials science and photosynthesis will be integrated with achievements of synthetic biology and biomolecular engineering to conceive the new technology efficient in capturing CO2 and producing solar-driven biofuels and chemicals. The FuturoLEAF biocatalysts will gain high production efficiency by tailoring nanocellulose matrix performance with utilisation of its highly specific water interactions, resulting in tunable porosity and transport properties. Directed self-assembly as a tool to locate and attach photosynthetic cells in the matrix by their native interaction potential will further improve the performance. The system will maximise light utilization and CO2 capturing by providing controllable influx/efflux of moisture, gases, nutrients, products and substrates, leading to next generation photosynthetic cell factories with high catalytic turn-over time. In addition, the solid-state nature of the system will enable effortless logistical transportation of cell factories without having to move large amounts of water in contrast to current suspension cultures. The FuturoLEAF architecture will be tested under changing environment in a fixedbed high-cell density photobioreactor, which is designed for simulating behaviour of the plant with gas-to-liquid interphase production environment.

The resultant microalgal biomass will form a carbon neutral, environmentally sustainable raw material that is a source for commercially valuable end products, among them renewable energy. The set task is to utilise unwanted effluents as nutrient sources for photosynthetic microalgae, thereby reducing effluent discharge by SMEs and yielding high quality biomass which will be harvested and upgraded using an integrated biorefinery approach into valuable products. Leading commercial systems for microalgae cultivation will be optimised for capturing inorganic nutrients from aqueous effluents (intensive agriculture and aquaculture; municipal anaerobic digesters) and CO2 from power plants, thereby mitigating the environmental impacts of these sectors and contributing to the European Low Carbon Economy via a new source of biomass-based biofuels, and by reducing the discharge of GHG to the atmosphere. Novel physical processes will be developed to efficiently harvest, stabilise and fractionate microalgae biomass for downstream conversion into valuable products. An innovative biorefinery approach will be adopted incorporating biomass pyrolysis (liquids, gas and char) for bioenergy and biofuel production, as well as separation into lipid, protein and carbohydrate fractions. Processes will be optimised for transforming micoalgal lipids into second generation transport fuels. Biomass extracts and purified compounds (eg, omega 3 fatty acids, pigments) will also be developed for use as food and feed additives.

The fundamental novelty of chemical looping combustion (CLC) is that no gas separation step is needed at all. Metal oxides are used to transport oxygen from an air reactor to a fuel reactor. The principle ideally allows elimination of the capture penalty. Circulating fluidized bed (CFB) technology is used, for which there is long commercial experience in power industry with conventional combustion. Moreover, in contrast to pre- and post-combustion capture, CLC reaches capture rates of 100%. In previous EU-projects, CLC for gaseous fuels has developed from paper concept to 120 kW fuel power. Satisfactory fuel conversion performance has been achieved with several nickel-based oxygen carrier materials. However, nickel-based materials are expensive and require special environmental/safety precautions. A focused search for alternative materials with comparable performance is without doubt the most important task to improve this technology. The key challenge is to make CLC less dependent on expensive nickel-based oxygen carrier materials. This project addresses this by investigating two groups of particles: (i) nickel-free materials with and without taking advantage of molecular oxygen uncoupling (CLOU); (ii) the mixed oxides concept, using mainly non-nickel materials with high reactivity towards CO/H2, together with a minor fraction of particles of reduced nickel content acting as reforming catalyst (i.e. transferring CH4 to CO/H2). Oxygen carrier particles will be prepared and investigated using available laboratory reactor equipment. Subsequently, production of large batches will be investigated for the most promising candidates. Existing CLC units at a scale of 10-200 kW will be used to investigate real life performance and operation stability.	none given	none given	none given	F

This work will combine modelling and experimental approaches by involving experts in the field of synthesis and experimental characterisation (adsorption, structure, diffusion), coupled with specialists in charge of the simulation of t he synthesis process as well as the various properties of the nanoporous materials investigated. The scientific originality of this project will be thus the development of a tool which is able to predict the structure and chemical composition of a given corresponding zeolite or zeotype. Building on this, specific synthesis routes will be developed to prepare such samples.

These CO2 sources can be related for example to production of biogas in anaerobic digestion plants.UP-TO-ME targets a ground-breaking change in decentralized Power-to-Methanol production for hard to electrify applications, like marine vessels. The potential of producing renewable methanol, only by utilizing the CO2 content of biogas in Europe is 128 Mt/a. UP-TO-ME concept is based on a hybrid process which combines the capture of CO2 with the synthesis to methanol in a fully autonomous, unmanned plant. The process comprises 3D-printed reactors and column packings designed using highly advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics. The fully automated, self-learning and self-optimizing control system allows production at fluctuating conditions by combining dynamical plant models and Artificial Intelligence. The aim of UP-TO-ME to provide self-optimizing control even for off-grid-operation is very challenging and, to our knowledge, has not yet been achieved anywhere for comparable plants. The ability of a remote plant to adapt itself to varying boundary conditions such as availability of renewable energies (e.g., from weather forecasts) or on the availability of CO2 from a fluctuating source, open unforeseen possibilities for distributed production. Currently, so-called blue methanol originating from natural gas, is used in limited cases as a marine fuel. However, the quality requirements of a renewable marine methanol fuel, especially considering water content, organic and sulfur impurities originating from P2X production, are not known. UP-TO-ME will assess experimentally the suitability of the produced fuel on a marine type of engine and provide ranges for fuel specifications and max limits for impurities for this to become a sustainable marine fuel.	none given	none given	none given

The approach will reinforce the link between large CO2 emitters and fine chemical industries at the European level. The concept relies on two chemical pathways, CO2 to CH4 and CH4 to CH3OH with the intermediate carbon vector: methane. Methane benefits from the extended and existing natural gas network infrastructure. Its distribution will prevent additional CO2 emissions (rail & road transportation). This approach will favour the emergence of small and flexible production units of fine chemicals from methanol.The technological work is based on advanced catalysts and electro-catalytic processes. CEOPS will develop advanced catalysts for application in three promising electro-catalytic processes (Dielectric barrier discharge plasma catalysis, Photo-activated catalysis and Electro-catalytic reduction) to increase their efficiency overtime for both pathways. The performances of the studied catalyst and process schemes will be benchmarked and the most efficient one, for each pathway, will be selected for a prototype.

Conventional gas turbines can fulfill this task also for longer periods even well as they can stabilize the grid with their capability of quick start/stop. However, their efficiency is limited and – even if burning climate neutral hydrocarbons – they still produce local emissions. HERMES overcomes these limitations and advances gas turbine technology to the future-proof level by creating a reliable, flexible, zero-emission solution for energy supply with long term impact at EU level.HERMES develops and assesses the first highly efficient closed-loop supercritical zero emission energy system. It is based on directly fired supercritical gas turbine engine operating on locally synthesized renewable liquid and gaseous fuels (e.g. methanol or hydrogen) coupled with decentralized carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS). The carrier medium is highly dense supercritical carbon dioxide or xenon demanding less compression power. Therefore, and because of operating at high pressure conditions (above 150 bar), the system achieves significantly higher efficiency (above 65%) than today’s gas turbines. By utilizing pure oxygen for fuel oxidation, and by capturing bulky flow of exhaust products (H2O and/or CO2) and reusing them for fuel synthesis, the system produces virtually no pollutants. A detailed assessment of the HERMES approach will be done using experimental and computational approaches and dynamic simulation tools including digital twins and machine learning. The 36-month project will be realized by an 11-partner consortium including 3 SMEs with expertise in renewable energy, combustion, techno-economics and socio-political science.

Methods to assess performance, fuel annual consumption and environmental impact will be identified and they will constitute a first step for EU new standards. The EU, as Greenhouse Gas emission reduction measure, proposed the ban for Mobile Air Conditioning systems of fluids having a Global Warming Potential lower than 50 (i.e. R-134a and R-152a) with complementary measures – e.g. measurement of the MAC fuel consumption – This represents a challenge and an opportunity for OEMs and Mobile A/C Suppliers. The CO2 – R-744 when used as a refrigerant – is the favourite candidate to replace the R-134a. Besides safety, reliability and efficiency, the present estimated additional cost, ranging from 70 up to 150 Euro with reference to the low priced car systems, represents a obstacle. The lower priced vehicles constitute up the 70% of the present EU car market, this number will rise up to the 80% with the EU enlargement. A low cost and high efficiency R 744 MAC will support the EU efforts reducing the resistance to the approval of the HFC ban, allowing a rapid diffusion of the new system with the related environmental benefits and making the EU industries more competitive. The consortium composition – 2 major OEMs, 4 suppliers and three acknowledged excellence centres – makes the risk acceptable assuring an effective exploitation. Finally the Project gathers the most skilled European scientists and engineers in this specific field, so high level scientific and technical know how are expected to be produced as well as scientific advances in the dynamic system modelling. This will contribute to strengthen EU industries position in other domains (e.g. domestic air conditioning).

This thermal integration balancing the exothermal and endothermal processes is an innovation with a high potential for a most energy-efficient storage solution for renewable electricity, without any practical capacity and duration limitation, since it provides SNG (Substitute Natural Gas) as a product, which is fully compatible with the existing pipeline network and storage infrastructure.The realisation of the P2G technology as proposed within HELMETH needs several development steps and HELMETH focuses on two main technical and socio-economic objectives, which have to be met in order to show the feasibility of the technology:•Elaboration of the conditions / scenarios for an economic feasibility of the P2G process towards methane as chemical storage, without significantly deteriorating the CO2-balance of the renewable electricity.•Demonstration of the technical feasibility of a conversion efficiency > 85 % from renewable electricity to methane, which is superior to the efficiency for the generation of hydrogen via conventional water electrolysis.Within HELMETH the main focus lies in the development of a complete pressurized P2G module consisting of a pressurized steam electrolyser module, which is thermally integrated with an optimized carbon dioxide methanation module. The HELMETH project will prove and demonstrate that:• the conversion of renewable electricity into a storable hydrocarbon by high-temperature electrolysis is a feasible option,• high temperature electrolysis and methanation can be coupled and thermally integrated towards highest conversion efficiencies by utilizing the process heat of the exothermal methanation reaction in the high temperature electrolysis process.	none given	none given	none given

ECOLEFINS aims to establish a new, all-electric paradigm for the electro-conversion of CO2 and H2O to light olefins, the key-intermediates for polymers and other daily life chemical products. The proposed concept reverses the heavy CO2 emissions associated to the petroleum-based light olefins production to massive CO2 capture and valorisation for carbon negative ethylene, propylene and butylene. The concept introduces co-ionic ceramic membrane reactors and short-stacks/modules that merge the anodic steam electrolysis for hydrogen production with the cathodic CO2 electrolysis and hydrogenation to light olefins, over tailored and nano-engineered electrodes; aiming to develop a substantially more effective technology, for the single-step, RES-powered artificial photosynthesis of CO2 to valuable chemicals. This ambition entails a multi-disciplinary task, requiring highly tuned synergies among cutting edge research in the fields of: i) advanced materials science & engineering for co-ionic composites, perovskite ex-solutions, and organometallics, ii) electrochemistry and electrochemical process engineering, iii) catalysis science and engineering, iv) computer aided materials design and atomic scale modelling, and v) digital real-scale process modelling and economic evaluation, along with a comprehensive sustainability assessment, applied social research for impact framing, and marketization planning.	none given	none given	none given	F

Here, CO2 that will be critically important in the future European H2 based economy. It is crucial to find a new route to capture and store CO2 produced during various industrial processes with different conditions. The present project aims to initiate novel synthesis strategies for adsorbents with specific properties with respect to gases, notably carbon dioxide, and operating conditions of industrial processes. Five aspects are tackled along the project: – what are the most appropriate building block for an adsorbent – what are the best pore sizes and architectures – how do adsorption properties agree with those predicted from calculations obtained for materials designed from the two first points. – what are the industrial prospects in terms of the scale-up of the synthesis of the novel adsorbents pinpointed above – how does the adsorbent behave with respect to specific applications involving environmentally sensitive gases. The basic building blocks required for adsorbent synthesis will be investigated with respect to gas interactions. Such groups will include metals, cations, silicon/aluminium wall ratio and organic ligands. After choosing a zeolite benchmark, the project will concentrate on the synthesis of two families of nanoporous materials: periodic mesoporous oxides and metal organic frameworks. An experimental/modelling approach will be followed to search the most suitable materials with the most appropriate building blocks, pore size and architecture. The materials will be characterised by adsorption of carbon dioxide and tested under industrial conditions. Several materials will be studied for synthesis up-scale. A test application of CO2 elimination during H2 production from Syngas will be investigated before providing a generic modelling tool to select adsorbents for further applications.				1

Chemical-looping combustion (CLC), an entirely new combustion principle avoids this difficulty by inherent CO2 capture, using metal oxides for oxygen transfer from air to fuel. The process has been demonstrated in small scale with gaseous fuels. However, with solid fuels it would be difficult to reach high fuel conversion, with the oxygen-carrier materials used so far. But a new type of combined oxides based on manganese has the ability not only to react with gaseous fuel, but also to release gaseous oxygen, which would fundamentally change the concept.The programme would provide 1) new oxygen-carrier materials with unique properties that would make this low-cost/high-efficiency option of CO2 capture possible, 2) cold-flow model investigation of suitable reactor system configurations and components, 3) a demonstration of this new combustion technology at the pilot plant level, 4) a model of the process comprising a full understanding, including kinetics, equilibria, hydrodynamics of fluidized reactors, mass and heat balances.The basis of this programme is the discovery of a number of oxygen-releasing combined manganese oxides, having properties that can make a CLC with solid fuels a break-through process for CO2 capture. The purpose of the programme is to perform a comprehensive study of these materials, to demonstrate that they work in real systems, to achieve a full understanding of how they work in interaction with solid fuels in fluidized beds and to assess how this process would work in the full scale.Climate negotiations and agreements could be significantly facilitated by this low cost option for CO2 capture which, in principle, should be applicable to 25% of the global CO2 emissions, i.e. coal fired power plants. It would also provide a future means of removing CO2 from the atmosphere at low cost by burning biofuel and capture CO2..	none given	none given	none given

These gradients induce flows, namely buoyancy driven flows on large scales and phoretic flows on small scales. Such flows locally enhance or delay the melting or dissolution process and thus determine the objects’ shape. On large scales, a relevant example for the climate are glaciers and icebergs melting into the ocean, where cold and fresh meltwater experiences buoyant forces against the surrounding ocean water, leading to flow instabilities, thus shaping the ice and determining its melting rate. Another example is the dissolution of liquid CO2 in brine for CO2 sequestration. Next to buoyant forces also phoretic forces along the interfaces come into play. For dissolving drops at the microscale the phoretic forces become dominant. The resulting Marangoni flow not only affects their dissolution rate, but can also lead to their autochemotactic motion, deformation, or even splitting. In spite of the relevance for these and many other applications, such multicomponent, multiphase systems with melting or dissolution phase transitions are poorly understood, due to their complexity, multiway coupling, feedback mechanisms, memory effects & collective phenomena. The objective of this project is a true scientific breakthrough: We want to come to a quantitative understanding of melting & dissolution processes in multicomponent, multiphase systems, across all scales and on a fundamental level. To achieve this, we perform a number of key controlled experiments & numerical simulations for idealized setups on various length scales, inspired by above sketched problems, but allowing for a one-to-one comparison between experiments and numerics/theory. For the first time, we will perform local measurements of velocity, salt concentration, and temperature and connect them to global transport processes, to arrive at a fundamental understanding of such Stefan problems in multicomponent systems.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-ADG-2015	The productivity of the ocean is limited by the transport of nutrient-rich deep waters to the sun-lit surface layer. In large parts of the global ocean this transport is blocked by a temperature-induced density gradient, with warm light waters residing on top of heavier cold waters. These regions, which are referred to by scientists as ocean deserts, are presently expanding due to surface-ocean warming. Enhancing the upward transport of nutrient-rich deep waters through artificial upwelling can break this blockade and make these waters more productive. Forced upwelling of deep-ocean water has been proposed as a means to serve three distinctly different purposes: (1) to fuel marine primary production for ecosystem-based fish farming; (2) to enhance the ocean’s biological carbon pump to sequester CO2 in the deep ocean; (3) to utilize the surface to deep-ocean temperature gradient to generate renewable energy via Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC). Whereas theoretical and technical aspects of applying artificial upwelling for these purposes have been studied to some extent, the ecological responses and biogeochemical consequences are poorly understood. Ocean artUp therefore aims to study the feasibility, effectiveness, associated risks and potential side effects of artificial upwelling in increasing ocean productivity, raising fish production, and enhancing oceanic CO2 sequestration. This will be addressed through a combination of experiments at different scales and trophic complexities, field observations of eddy-induced upwelling in oligotrophic waters, and ecosystem-biogeochemical modelling of pelagic systems fertilized by nutrient-rich deep waters. If technically feasible, ecologically acceptable, and economically viable, the use of artificial upwelling for ecosystem-based fish farming could make an important contribution to an ecologically sustainable marine aquaculture.	none given	none given	none given

TRANSITION objective is to pave the way for carbon-neutral energy generation from natural gas-fired power plants using gas turbines (GT), by enabling a highly efficient Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) process in the post-combustion phase. This will be achieved by the development of advanced hydrogen assisted combustion technologies capable to permit stable engine operations with high Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) rates leading to high CO2 content in the exhaust gas sent to the CCS unit. Two distinct scenarios will be considered, by i) validating up to TRL4 retrofit hydrogen-based burners targeting 50% EGR rate and ii) proving up to TRL 3 more aggressive technologies adopting hydrogen/oxygen flame piloting to reach 60% EGR. Experimental tests (from atmospheric up to full-engine pressure) will support the technology assessment and the validation of high-fidelity numerical CFD models. Overall CCS-GT system integration will be also carried out with technical and economic analysis. The global sustainability of the proposed technologies will also be investigated to assess environmental/social/economic impacts.TRANSITION outcomes will enable the decarbonisation of GT-based power plants, which are among the most efficient energy thermal generators adopted in several energy-intensive applications.

ERC-2018-ADG	Nanoparticles with etched substrate channels are proposed as a simplified enzyme mimic, nanozymes, for electrocatalysis providing concave catalytically active sites together with the local modulation of electrolyte composition. This concept will be extended to bimetallic core-shell structures with etched channels to provide locally confined catalyst surfaces with varying selectivity. The first catalytic reaction at the channel entrance selectively generates a product, which is further converted in a follow-up reaction catalysed at the core material at the bottom of the channel. The endeavour to locally assemble catalysts with different properties in nano-confined reaction volumes to actualise cascade reaction pathways will be extended to layered nanoparticle structures. Together with an anisotropic provision of a gaseous reactant through a hydrophobic/hydrophilic phase boundary of specifically designed gas diffusion electrodes multi-step catalytic cascade reactions become feasible. The development and extensive evaluation of multi-catalyst gas-diffusion electrodes using operando electrochemistry/spectroscopy and nano-electrochemical tools as well as multi flow-through electrolysers will provide the fundamental knowledge concerning the relative location of different catalyst particles, which synergistically perform chemical cascade reaction with high selectivity and at high current densities. These gas-diffusion electrodes will be integrated in novel electrolyser concepts targeting CO2 recycling at high current density in alkaline solution under suppression of H2 competition with previously unprecedented selectivity for the formation of higher hydrocarbons envisioning contributions to a closed carbon cycle economy and a substantial decrease of CO2 emission. Additionally, a novel tree-type rotating electrolyser design is proposed for the removal of hazardous gaseous pollutants from air e.g. at street crossings in cities as exemplified by NOx reduction to N2 or NH3.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-2016-ADG	Demand for biofuels and other biologically derived commodities is growing worldwide as efforts increase to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and to limit climate change. Most commercial approaches rely on fermentations of organic matter with its inherent problems in producing CO2 and being in conflict with the food supply of humans. These problems are avoided if CO2 can be used as feedstock. Autotrophic organisms can fix CO2 by producing chemicals that are used as building blocks for the synthesis of cellular components (Biomass). Acetate-forming bacteria (acetogens) do neither require light nor oxygen for this and they can be used in bioreactors to reduce CO2 with hydrogen gas, carbon monoxide or an organic substrate. Gas fermentation using these bacteria has already been realized on an industrial level in two pre-commercial 100,000 gal/yr demonstration facilities to produce fuel ethanol from abundant waste gas resources (by LanzaTech). Acetogens can metabolise a wide variety of substrates that could be used for the production of biocommodities. However, their broad use to produce biofuels and platform chemicals from substrates other than gases or together with gases is hampered by our very limited knowledge about their metabolism and ability to use different substrates simultaneously. Nearly nothing is known about regulatory processes involved in substrate utilization or product formation but this is an absolute requirement for metabolic engineering approaches. The aim of this project is to provide this basic knowledge about metabolic routes in the acetogenic model strain Acetobacterium woodii and their regulation. We will unravel the function of “organelles” found in this bacterium and explore their potential as bio-nanoreactors for the production of biocommodities and pave the road for the industrial use of A. woodii in energy (hydrogen) storage. Thus, this project creates cutting-edge opportunities for the development of biosustainable technologies in Europe.	none given	none given	none given

Photo2Fuel’s technology is based on the artificial photosynthesis concept and will use a hybrid system of non-photosynthetic microorganisms and organic photosensitisers to produce acetic acid and methane, using Moorella thermoacetica (bacteria) and Methanosarcina barkeri (archaea) strains, respectively. After optimisation and characterisation, this hybrid non-photosynthetic microorganisms with organic photosensitiser system will be placed into an auto sufficient photo-micro-reactor running exclusively with sunlight. During the day, the natural sunlight will be used, and, during the night, artificial light will be used from previous stored solar energy in batteries (excess sunlight). This approach will guarantee the continuous operation of the photo-micro-reactor. Additionally, a solar concentrator will be coupled to the reactor to maximise conversion and stabilise the production of fuels and chemicals, even with variant solar flux. The Photo2Fuel project will also investigate technologies for the separation of the main products – acetic acid and methane – and deliver solutions to achieve high separation efficiency. The overall sustainability of the Photo2Fuel’s technology will be analysed, including the environmental, economic, and social aspects. Lastly, the market, barriers, and key stakeholders will be analysed from an end-user perspective, aiming at advancing the technology’s TRL-4 after the project completion and, thus, actively supporting the transition to a climate neutral Europe by 2050.	none given	none given	none given

Feed producers have expressed their interest in purchasing this product once available in commercial volume; the company has already started co-developing feed recipes based on Proton™ and has LOIs and trial partner agreements from two major feed producers. At the other end of the value chain, the technology will offer large carbon emitters a new way to valorise their CO2. Once off-take has been secured and the production process and product quality validated, Deep Branch will build the first full-scale production facility, legally structured in a joint venture with a carbon-intensive industrial company. The objectives of the project are to build a Pilot Plant capable of producing >200 kg Proton™ per month, to fully validate the nutritional viability of Proton™, to complete the design for a demo plant and to secure necessary IP protection.	none given	none given	none given

SMEInst-11-2016-2017	The European polymer industry is under increasing pressure to produce innovative products at lower cost to compete with overseas imports. Econic Technologies has invented a catalyst that enables replacing up to 40% of petrochemical feedstock in the production of polyurethane polyols, an important polymer segment, with low cost waste CO2, resulting in high performance product. Econic Technologies is spun out of Imperial College London, where the technology was invented, now grown to a family of patent-protected catalysts whose unique characteristic is high reactive activity and selectivity for polymers under low pressures. The catalysts enable the maximum theoretical uptake of CO2 with far superior reaction rates than their competitors under industry relevant conditions.The Econic catalyst creates novel value-add polyol building blocks for polyurethanes whilst offering significant feedstock savings: CO2 costs $100/Tonne whereas PO costs $1900/tonne. When competitive technologies require expensive new plant facilities to meet stringent process conditions Econic’s catalyst can be deployed by a low cost retrofit. The technology is proven in the lab (TRL6) and client-site demonstration (TRL7) has commenced on small scale. The Phase I feasibility study has established that early adopting market leading polyol producers are keen to deploy the technology but they still need to persuade their downstream customers, the polyurethane producers. This will crucially be assisted by demonstrator applications which Phase II will now develop. Over the first five years after Phase II completion, Econic generates EUR180m catalyst sale revenues. Polyol producers will benefit by increased profit margins to the tune of EUR380m over the same period. Catalyst toll manufacturers will generate turnover of EUR30m+ and carbon capture plants will be able to sell EUR18m worth of CO2. Total expected qualified job creation from the project exceeds 100 over the first five commercial years.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-2019-ADG	The prediction of heat and mass transfer across fluctuating fluid interfaces is a considerable challenge. It is however not only an ubiquitous part of industrial processes, but also a critical component of the global climate system through ocean-atmosphere interactions. Sustainable development and greenhouse gas emission containment will require an overhaul of already knowledge-intensive processes. TRUFLOW thus aims at enabling the quantitative prediction of the heat and mass transfer in fluid flow using simulation, high performance computation and multiphysics, multiscale methods. Using presently available, cutting edge interface tracking and subgrid scale methods TRUFLOW will investigate a range of critical processes, allowing for example industry to plan for improved carbon capture processes such as rotating packed beds, new processes such as hydrogen-based metallurgy to replace carbon based metallurgy, heat and mass transfer in hydrogen fuel cells, boiling and cavitation simulation and CO2 transfer across the wavy ocean surface. The key limiting factor in the success of simulation in this domain is the considerable range of scales expected, with slowly diffusing chemicals creating boundary layers that are orders of magnitude smaller than the typical fluid structures, bubbles or droplets. Critical heat fluxes in boiling and interface motion at the microscale are determined by contact line motion, which involves tiny molecular scales. TRUFLOW will bridge these various extreme length scale gaps using state of the art methods. It will result in direct high performance simulations of heat and mass transfer, coupled simulation and analysis of existing experimental data, an analysis of the performance of reduced models of flows with tiny scale transfers, and a systematic use of these models in industrial or natural configurations.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-ADG-2014	It is now possible to make an enormous spectrum of different, novel nanoporous materials simply by changing the building blocks in the synthesis of Metal Organic Frameworks (MOF) or related materials. This unique chemical tunability allows us to tailor-make materials that are optimal for a given application. The promise of finding just the right material seems remote however: because of practical limitations we can only ever synthesize, characterize, and test a tiny fraction of all possible materials. To take full advantage of this development, therefore, we need to develop alternative techniques, collectively referred to as Materials Genomics, to rapidly screen large numbers of materials and obtain fundamental insights into the chemical nature of the ideal material for a given application. The PI will tackle the challenge and promise posed by this unprecedented chemical tunability through the development of a multi-scale computational approach, which aims to reliably predict the performance of novel materials before synthesis. We will develop methodologies to generate libraries of representative sets of synthesizable hypothetical materials and perform large-scale screening of these libraries. These studies should give us fundamental insights into the common molecular features of the top-performing materials. The methods developed will be combined into an open access infrastructure in which our hypothetical materials are publicly accessible for data mining and big-data analysis. The project is organized in three Work Packages, each centered around finding better materials for carbon capture: (1) screen materials for gas separations and develop the tools to predict the best materials for carbon capture; (2) gain insights into and develop a computational methodology for screening the mechanical properties of nanoporous materials; (3) achieve an understanding of the amine-CO2 chemistry in diamine-appended MOFs and use this to predict their performance.	none given	none given	none given

H2020-EIC-SMEInst-2020-4	The decarbonisation of natural gas – the biggest energy import product into the EU today – through the production of renewable methane from bio-e-methanation (“e-methane”), a natural gas equivalent, is one of the cornerstones of the European energy transition. Our highly productive microorganism strain and pressure bioreactor design carry the potential to solve the challenge of providing cost-effective large-scale energy storage and a multi-purpose e-fuel. Echaea are the only company worldwide to have validated a biological methanation technology in industrial prototypes that turn CO2 into e-methane, using curtailed renewable power, and storing it in existing gas grids. The fully biogenic e-fuel can be used across sectors, for transportation, power generation or industrial heating. Our technology has shown to produce grid-quality e-methane in a continuous process at a 1MW scale (Biofos, DK Solothurn, CH) and now needs to be scaled up to commercial size. The EIC grant funded project will de-risk Echaea’s Power-to-Methane solution to market-readiness. Subsequently we will build a full 10MWe commercial demonstration plant at Roslev, Denmark, funded by the EIC equity facility. Once industrial operations have been demonstrated, the technology is ready for international roll-out. Expressions of interest for 12 10MWe plants have already been received. We have assessed a market potential today of around 500 biological methanation plants and of 5,000 in the EU, more around the world, by 2050. Green Deal impact: One 10MW plant will convert 5,700 mt of CO2 a year and produce 2,8m Nm3 e-methane, sufficient to heat 2,400 homes. By 2050, this technology could convert 0.8% of annual CO2 released in the EU. Echaea is a venture-backed company and co-led by a female executive, Doris Hafenbradl. A multi-disciplinary team of 33 employees is pursuing the mission of becoming the global leader for renewable methane production at scale.	none given	none given	none given

These properties render them good candidates for several commercial applications, such as fine-particle flotation, wastewater treatment, and in food and agricultural industries. A most important challenge lies in establishing facile and easily-controlled methods to promote nano-bubble formation, and, indeed, liquid-phase nano-droplets, i.e., in realising reproducibly and consistently a nano-phase. NIMBLE revolutionises formation of the nano-phase, providing substantial enhancement in effective gas/liquid solubility in water and aqueous media. Further, energy demands are very low visà-vis other nanobubble-generating technologies, with nanobubble stability over months. A ‘Grand Challenge’ lies in understanding underlying mechanistic phenomena involved in nano-phase formation, and the metastability of pure nanobubbles. Indeed, developing experimental and theoretical insights into controlled, on-demand release for nanobubbles is also vital for efficient process-engineering applications. In this ERC ‘NIMBLE’ project, state-of-the-art computer-simulation methods in molecular and larger- (continuum-) scale will be employed in tandem with advanced experimental set-ups and techniques to investigate and manipulate mechanisms of nano-phase formation in the presence of electric fields (Work-Package 1), as well as its controlled, on-demand release (Work-Package 4), with applications to carbon capture and agriculture using nanobubbles’ “carrier” personality. NIMBLE will employ state-of-the-art experimental and simulation methods to investigate and manipulate nano-phase formation in electric fields and controlled release and study their mobility and carrier agency, with applications in carbon capture, water treatment and agriculture.	none given	none given	none given

Yet, their deployment has been hindered by a lack of a full understanding of the processes that are induced in the subsurface by large-scale fluid injection/extraction. The various processes involved (e.g., fluid flow, geomechanical, geochemical and thermal effects) imply complex interactions that cannot be predicted without considering the dominant coupled processes, which is rarely done. As a result, some early geo-energy projects have occasionally developed unpredicted consequences, such as felt and damaging induced earthquakes, gas leakage and aquifer contamination, dampening public perception on geo-energies. SMILE aims at overcoming these challenges in developing geo-energy solutions by training a new generation of young researchers that will become experts in understanding and predicting coupled processes. Thus, they will be capable of proposing innovative solutions for the successful deployment of subsurface low-carbon energy sources while protecting groundwater and related ecosystems. To achieve this ambitious goal, the early-stage researchers will be exposed to an interdisciplinary training on experimental, mathematical and numerical modelling of coupled processes, upscaling techniques and ground deformation monitoring using field data from highly instrumented pilot tests and industrial sites. The training in SMILE has been designed by both academic and industrial partners to train competitive researchers with both technical-scientific and transferable skills to enhance their employability in academia, industry and public sector. The outputs of the project will be largely disseminated. Outreach to society will be achieved through a conspicuous series of initiatives. SMILE will make a significant contribution to the societal challenges of securing clean and low-carbon energy sources.	none given	none given	none given

The European Green Deal addresses this issue and it aims at making Europe climate neutral by 2050. To reach this aim, a high priority opportunity is the utilisation of waste carbon dioxide to produce valuable chemicals (e.g. energy carriers, fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals) in an environmentally and economically sustainable manner. In our previous ERC Proof of concept project, we have demonstrated that the most viable approach where sunlight is first converted to electricity by a solar photovoltaic (PV) cell and CO2 is then reduced electrochemically to carbon monoxide, which can be further processed to valuable chemicals. The technoeconomic analysis performed during the ERC PoC project confirmed the competitiveness of this solar energy conversion approach. Our team developed the current best performing low temperature CO2 electrolyser cell at laboratory scale, published the results in Nature Energy and filed two PCT patent applications regarding this technology. The aim of this project is to translate our scientific and technological excellence to a commercially appealing value proposition. Our objective is to develop, build and operate a containerised demonstrator scale CO2 electrolyser unit (capable of processing 100 t CO2/year) as well as to validate its performance using photovoltaic power. We aim to perform a detailed technoeconomic assessment and develop a business plan to attract investors in order to scale the technology further and start its commercialization. By the end of the project, we aim to become ready for Series A investment and/or EIC-Accelerator blended finance. The success of this project will represent a genuine breakthrough in the field of Carbon capture and utilization (CCU); enhancing European leadership in this emerging market, and a significant contribution to Green Deal objectives.	none given	none given	none given

This is achieved considering the time and spatial aspects of the development of the energy sector and other industrial activities in those countries as well as the location, capacity and availability of potential CO2 storage geological formations. Special attention is given to a balanced decision on transport modes, matching the sources and sinks, addressing safety and lifetime objectives, meeting optimal cost – benefit trade-off, for a CCS network infrastructure as part of an international cooperation policy. The need for a joint CCS infrastructure in the West Mediterranean is related to the geographical proximity, to the increasing connections between the energy and industrial sectors in the area, to the continuity of sedimentary basins that can act as possible storage reservoirs and to the existing experience in managing a large gas transport infrastructure, such as the natural gas pipeline coming through Morocco, to Spain and Portugal. The consortium is coordinated by INETI (Portugal), and comprises 7 research institutions, 4 Universities, 1 SME and 5 energy companies from 6 European countries and Morocco. COMET aims to optimise the connection between sources and sinks by comparing the several possible transport modes (pipelines, trains, ships and trucks) and existing and to be realized infrastructures and expects to find the least-cost transport mode and routes from clusters to sinks. It is expected that each source cluster will be rigorously matched to the most suitable sink, while minimising the required investment in infrastructures and taking advantage of the effect of scale associated to an integrated infrastructure. COMET will be an important step towards the safe and commercial deployment of large scale near zero emission power plants in SW Europe and North Africa.	none given	none given	none given	F

Advances in the identification of highly performing solvents and solvent blends in CO2 absorption, the design of innovative separation equipment internals, and the development of optimal process configurations enable a cost of approximately 16 euros per ton of CO2 captured. Such achievement can have a tremendous impact in several industrial applications such as gas-fired, coal-fired, and lignite-fired power plants as well as quick-lime production plants where solvent based post-combustion CO2 absorption can become a viable solution.The current project adopts a holistic approach towards the fulfillment of the outlined goals accomplished through research and development at multiple levels within an integrated framework.At the molecular level, the use of computer aided molecular design tools supported by accurate and adequately validated thermodynamic models enables the exhaustive investigation of the performance of multiple solvents and solvent blends in post-combustion CO2 absorption processes. The solvent blends are systematically assessed and rank-ordered against their performance towards the satisfaction of relevant process, economic, operability and sustainability criteria. The optimal solvents and solvent blends are expected to exhibit significantly better characteristics than currently used solvents in terms of energy requirements and overall environmental impact.At the unit operations level, the design of innovative process configurations and column internals that are specifically tailored for the employed solvents enhance the efficiency of the absorption based separation. Advanced modeling and optimization tools in conjunction with thorough experimental procedures ensure the achievement of high mass transfer rates and optimal flow patterns.At the plant level, the comprehensive analysis of the interactions among an existing power plant and the added solvent based post-combustion CO2 capture unit enables the optimal allocation of resources for improved energy savings and the efficient integration of the new CO2 capture process components.Pilot plant testing of the newly developed technology under operating condition encountered in practical applications ensures process stability and consistency.Several industrial applications in power production and chemicals manufacture are scheduled for comprehensive study, analysis, and evaluation thus resolving all related technical and engineering issues.	none given	none given	none given

Factors responsible for the effectiveness of a reaction include number/frequency of molecular collisions, orientation of molecules at the moment of collisions and their energy. Current reactors offer a very limited control of the above factors. Reactions usually take place in random geometries and the energy is brought to molecules by conductive heating which is non-selective and thermodynamically inefficient.A groundbreaking solution here can only be achieved by creating a “perfect” reaction environment, in which the geometry of molecular collisions is fully controlled while energy is transferred selectively from the source to the required molecules in the required form, in the required amount, at the required moment, and at the required position. The current proposal aims at the first of its kind development of structured reactors using electric and electromagnetic fields for alignment, orientation and selective activation of targeted molecules. To engineer such “perfect” reaction environment the fundamental concepts of Process Intensification are applied. We build here on the Nobel Prize-awarded fundamental works in the area of the reaction dynamics and molecular reaction control that were not considered in chemical engineering thus far. Chemistries studied are mono- and bi-molecular reactions using CO2, CH4 and H2O, which are of paramount importance for clean fuel production and carbon dioxide management.The proposal bridges chemical physics and chemical engineering incorporating the knowledge domains of chemistry, catalysis, materials science, electronics, computer modelling and micromechanical engineering.	none given	none given	none given

The Danish company Danish Power Systems manufactures the key fuel cell component, the MEA (Membrane Electrode Assembly), for the Siquens products. The project aim sets a significant basis for the efficient and effective transformation of chemical energy from the substance methanol into “clean” (carbon neutral) electrical energy. The fuel cell from Siquens allows an expanded use of electricity from renewable energies. The production of methanol from wind and sun by Carbon Capture Utilization (CCU) methods is a great chance to store energy of renewables allowing to reach the individual climate goal of the German government (80% renewables in 2050). The ecological benefits of our solution makes it a valuable contribution to the EU climate goals.

The general subject of the programme is the ‘Integrated Energy Conversion for a Sustainable Environment’, covering four areas particularly critical for the advent of future energy technologies: the integration of renewables in high efficiency systems, the development of low-to-zero emission processes, the production and utilisation of H2 and other sustainable fuels, the capture and sequestration of CO2. The INECSE programme is open to young Ph.D. students and/or University graduates in Engineering, Physics, Chemistry and Biological Sciences. It provides that Fellows will always carry out their activities in three countries different from that of origin, so that they will be exposed to different schools of thought. While a longer period at one Institution will be used by Fellows for carrying out experimental research on particular aspects of the most advanced energy technologies, shorter periods at two other Institutions will be mainly used to widen their scientific, technological and managerial background. In this frame, Fellows oriented to University Research shall spend at least one short stay at one of the Applied Research Centres (and vice-versa) and shall also attend a minimum number of complementary courses both on ‘technical’ and ‘non-technical’ subjects. In each activity Fellows will be required to play an active role by writing re ports and/or short theses and discussing them with their Supervisors and experts of Partner Institutions, or by presenting their major results at International Conferences and Workshops.

In particular, this project aims at developing an emerging technology which consists in a new alternative sustainable solution to reduce CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion. This objective fits the EU strategy to reducing greenhouse gases emissions by developing an environmentally safe carbon capture and geological storage policy. Indeed, most of the subterranean technologies consist in injecting CO2 as a gas at high pressures, leading inevitably to the possible problem of the leakage. In response to this issue, the transformation of CO2 into carbonate is now considered as an interesting solution for CO2 sequestration. 2 major options are under scrutiny. One is a physico-chemical approach in certain types of rocks. The other one is based on the abilities of a number of bacteria to precipitate carbonates, which in turn extends the geological sequestration opportunities beyond the strict deep underground ones. This project targets bacterial metabolic pathways enabling significant carbonate precipitation. In particular, “CO2SolStock” specific objectives are:1.To explore emerging alternative sustainable solutions related to microbiological pathways of carbonatation for CO2 sequestration; 2.To map out a scientific evaluation of the various routes and promises, from the surface to the deepest habitats; 3.To establish a tool-kit enabling scientific evaluation; 4.To validate the technology with at least 2 validated proof of concept tests for bacterial metabolism supported CO2 sequestration. The work programme consists in 7 WPs from literature scrutiny to demonstration, with transversal dissemination and management tasks. Outputs comprises tool-kit for bio-based stock tailored for various habitats and at least 2 systems ready for development towards industrial applications.The project involves 5 partners: 4 European universities & 1 SME.	none given	none given	none given

At present, a step change in the sustainable use of resources is needed and catalysis lies at the heart of the solution by providing new routes to carbon dioxide mitigation, energy security and water conservation. It is clear that new high efficiency game-changing catalysts are required to meet the challenge. This proposal will focus on excellence in catalyst design by learning from recent step change advances in gold catalysis by challenging perceptions. Intense interest in gold catalysts over the past two decades has accelerated our understanding of gold particle-size effects, gold-support and gold-metal interactions, the interchange between atomic and ionic gold species, and the role of the gold-support interface in creating and maintaining catalytic activity. The field has also driven the development of cutting-edge techniques, particularly in microscopy and transient kinetics, providing detailed structural characterisation on the nano-scale and probing the short-range and often short-lived interactions. By comparison, our understanding of other metal catalysts has remained relatively static.The proposed programme will engender a step change in the design of supported-metal catalysts, by exploiting the learning and the techniques emerging from gold catalysis. The research will be set out in two themes. In Theme 1 two established key grand challenges will be attacked; namely, energy vectors and greenhouse gas control. Theme 2 will address two new and emerging grand challenges in catalysis namely the effective low temperature activation of primary carbon hydrogen bonds and CO2 utilisation where instead of treating CO2 as a thermodynamic endpoint, the aim will be to re-use it as a feedstock for bulk chemical and fuel production. The legacy of the research will be the development of a new catalyst design approach that will provide a tool box for future catalyst development.	none given	none given	none given
127754	101055263	DEVENDRA	Deciphering the Effect of Vegetation and Erosion on basalt and carbonate weathering by Novel Denudation Rate Approaches					2023-04-01	2028-03-31	2022-07-04	Horizon	€ 2,277,587.50	€ 2,277,587.50	0	0	0	0	HORIZON.1.1	ERC-2021-ADG	The chemical weathering of rocks on the Earth’s surface draws down atmospheric CO2, balancing emissions from volcanoes and maintaining habitable temperatures. Basalt and carbonate rocks are particularly crucial in this balance, because they are efficiently weathered: as estimated from studies of the dissolved elements in rivers, basalt accounts for 20-35% of modern global silicate weathering and CO2 consumption flux, despite only covering 5% of Earth’s surface. To formulate sensitivities and feedbacks between weathering of these rocks and climate, we need an accurate description of the exact processes that drive the conversion of rock to soil by weathering. Besides water flow, erosion rate and vegetation are thought to exercise significant control. Currently, however, we lack the tools needed to decipher these controls, because the preferred approach used to quantify erosion and weathering rates – cosmogenic nuclides, produced in situ in quartz – does not work in basalt and carbonate lithologies. The aim of DEVENDRA, dedicated to the pioneer of cosmogenic nuclide geochemistry Devendra Lal (1920 – 2012), is to eliminate this blind spot using a novel method never applied to basalt and carbonate lithologies: the ratio of cosmogenic beryllium-10 rained out from the atmosphere to stable beryllium-9 released by weathering. DEVENDRA will develop this system as a novel erosion and weathering rate meter for these rocks, and will use this new method to calibrate – using globally-distributed soil profiles and catchments of differing climate and erosion rate – the laws that govern weathering and CO2 drawdown in these rocks. The outcomes from DEVENDRA will refine the global weathering models that are used to understand Earth’s carbon cycle on geological time scales, to predict the trajectory of anthropogenic CO2 in coming centuries, and to estimate the potential for negative CO2 emissions by artificially-enhanced weathering of basalts.	none given	none given	none given

One of the four pre combustion CO2 capture technologies that are being developed in CACHET is the Sorption Enhanced Water Gas Shift (SEWGS) process. The SEWGS process produces hot, high pressure H2 in a catalytic CO shift reactor with simultaneous adsorption of CO2 on a high temperature adsorbent. The system operates in a cyclic manner with steam for adsorbent regeneration. The overall objective of proposed project CAESAR is the reduction of energy penalty and costs of the SEWGS CO2 capture process through optimization of sorbent materials, reactor- and process design. It is emphasized that with an optimized SEWGS process CO2 avoidance cost could be reduced to < € 15/ton CO2. CAESAR takes into account the lessons learned in CACHET in order to bring the SEWGS process a big step closer to the market. To achieve this, CAESAR takes a necessary step back such that novel, more efficient CO2 sorbents with regeneration steam/CO2 ratios less 2 will be developed. This value is needed to bring the CO2 avoidance costs to about 15 €/ton. Heat integration and the use of sorbent coatings can further enhance the efficiency. CAESAR will focus on the application of the optimized SEWGS process for pre combustion CO2 capture from natural gas. However the scope of application of SEWGS will be broadened to application in coal gas and industrial processes. A design for a pilot unit will be delivered for these applications. There is a clear delimitation between CACHET and CAESAR. The emphasis in CACHET was placed on demonstrating the SEWGS process on a larger scale in a continuous, multi-bed SEWGS process demonstrator. CAESAR goes one step further in taking boundary conditions as to cost and efficiency into account. This urges for better sorbents, reactor and process design.	none given	none given	none given	F1

The innovation is enabled by our patented fermentation technology which turns harmful industrial CO2-gases into valuable, 100% biodegradable biopolymers. We capture CO2 emissions before their release into the atmosphere and use them as feedstock to produce added-value PHA biopolymers through a highly efficient, high-yield fermentation process. In this process, 2.5 tonnes of CO2 are turned into 1 tonne of PHA biopolymer, from which textile fibres are produced and sold at current market prices (€1/kg). The material can be used for several years and fully decomposes within 1 year in industrial or home compost conditions or in the marine environment, thus preventing plastic pollution.	none given	none given	none given

CO2 can be co-electrolysed to produce syngas and fuels. The traditional solid oxide electrolyser cell (SOEC) leaves wet H2 at the steam side. ELECTRA in contrast develops a proton ceramic electrolyser cell (PCEC) which pumps out and pressurises dry H2 directly. Delamination of electrodes due to O2 bubbles in SOECs is alleviated in PCECs. The proton conductor is based on state-of-the-art Y:BaZrO3 (BZY) using reactive sintering for dense large-grained films, low grain boundary resistance, and high stability and mechanical strength. A PCEC can favourably reduce CO2 to syngas in co-ionic mode. Existing HTEs utilise the high packing density of planar stacks, but the hot seal and vulnerability to single cell breakdown give high stack rejection rate and questionable durability and lifetime economy. ELECTRA uses instead tubular segmented cells, mounted in a novel module with cold seals that allows monitoring and replacement of individual tubes from the cold side. The tubes are developed along 3 design generations with increasing efforts and rewards towards electrochemical performance and sustainable mass scale production. Electrodes and electrolyte are applied using spraying/dipping and a novel solid state reactive sintering approach, facilitating sintering of BZY materials. ELECTRA emphasises development of H2O-O2 anode and its current collection. It will show a kW-size multi-tube module producing 250 L/h H2 and CO2 to syngas co-electrolysis with DME production. Partners excel in ceramic proton conductors, industry-scale ceramics, tubular electrochemical cells, and integration of these in renewable energy schemes including geothermal, wind and solar power. The project counts 7 partners (4 SMEs/industry), is coordinated by University of Oslo, and runs for 39 months.	none given	none given	none given	1

LC-SC3-RES-25-2020	4AirCRAFT’s ultimate goal is to develop a next generation of stable and selective catalysts for the direct CO2 conversion into liquid fuels for the aviation industry, enabling the synthesis of sustainable jet fuel. 4AirCRAFT will overcome the current challenges by combining three main reactions into one reactor to increase the CO2 conversion rate and reduce energy consumption. 4AirCRAFT technology will produce sustainable jet fuel at low temperature (below 80 ºC), contributing to a circular economy and leading to a decrease in GHG and reduced dependence on fossil fuel-based resources.In order to achieve this goal, we will move beyond the SoA by precisely integrating and taking advantage of biocatalysts, inorganic nanocatalysts, electrocatalysts, and their controlled spatial distribution within application tuned catalyst carrier structures. These catalyst carrier structures will be based on metal-organic frameworks and engineered inorganic scaffolds with hierarchical porosity distribution. This will unravel the activity of catalytic active phases and materials based on earth-abundant elements allowing us to achieve high CO2 conversion percentages and selectivity towards jet fuels (C8−16). By achieving this we will be able to circumvent the need for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis, that is unselective for the synthesis of fuels, therefore eliminating further steps for hydrocracking or hydrorefining of Fischer–Tropsch waxes. In terms of inorganic catalysts, size and shape of metal NPs, metal clusters, and single atoms at the surface of catalyst carrier structures will be developed, and precise structure-performance-selectivity relationships will be established. In terms of biocatalyst, special emphasis will be given to assure the long-term stability of deployed enzymes through programmed anchoring and shielding from detrimental reaction conditions. Together application tuned catalyst carrier structures will be employed to steer selectivity towards C8−16 molecules.	none given	none given	none given

But, in almost all cases, they have failed to provide acceptable descriptions of complex porous media. In petroleum engineering, we are not able to predict the true reservoir behaviour; our predictions must be continuously revised through “history matching”. In soil physics, we find that persistent pesticides do reach deep groundwater resources contrary to our model predictions. Almost all models fail to predict the outcome of soil and groundwater remediation operations. Predictions of performance of industrial systems such as fuel cells and fluid absorbents are poor at the best. We are confronted with major challenges related to the prediction of performance and safety of subsurface CO2 sequestration, and questions related to threats and opportunities associated with methane gas hydrates under the oceans. One major shortcoming of our porous media models is the lack of consideration for the fact that fluids can fill up the pores in many different configurations, even for the same degree of fluid saturations. Each configuration results in different rates of fluids flow and in different mass and heat transport behaviours. Another major defect is the fact that our current models apply to continuous phases. But, in many applications, we have discontinuous fluid phases. The general aim of the proposed research is to establish a new paradigm for modelling flow and transport in porous media. We shall perform integrated experimental and computational research in order to establish advanced physically-based theories for description of porous media processes. We shall construct a host of micromodels for physical experiments on flow and transport and perform sandbox experiments on multiphase flow to study processes that occur in gas hydrates and fuel cells. In the course of this project, a first-class integrated experimental/computational laboratory will be established.	none given	none given	none given

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-stoichiometric ceria redox reactions with the Fischer-Tropsch process. This process provides a secure, sustainable and scalable supply of renewable aviation fuel, and early adoption will provide European aviation industries with a competitive advantage in the global market. The collaborators within SOLAR-JET combine all necessary competencies for the realization of project objectives, including: a unique high-flux solar simulator, a state-of-the-art computer simulation facility and software to significantly reduce the required number of experiments, and a Fischer-Tropsch unit for producing the first ever solar kerosene. These efforts are further complemented by assessments of the chemical suitability of the solar kerosene, identification of technological gaps, and determination of the technological and economical potentials. The outcomes of SOLAR-JET would propel Europe to the forefront in efforts to produce renewable, aviation fuels with a first-ever demonstration of kerosene produced directly from concentrated solar energy. The fuel is expected to overcome known sustainability and/or scalability limitations of coal/gas-to-liquid,bio-to-liquid and other drop-in biofuels while avoiding the inherent restrictions associated with other alternative fuels, such as hydrogen, that require major changes in aircraft design and infrastructure. The process demonstrated in SOLAR-JET eliminates logistical requirements associated with the biomass processing chain and results in much cleaner kerosene and represents a significant step forward in the production of renewable aviation fuels.	none given	none given	none given	F

In order to mitigate the negative environmental impacts of concrete, Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) is the best available strategy: the GCCA estimates that CCU technologies will represent up to 42% of the CO2 reductions necessary to reach the net zero industrial objective in 2050. The CONTRABASS MSCA-DN will act in this framework, in the pathway towards the zero-CO2 cement and concrete production, building a high-quality doctorate network (DN) to investigate the fundamental physico-chemical processes governing the Carbonation of the clinker phases and the cement paste, as well as the subsequent formation of Calcium Carbonate Cements (CCCs). The carbonation ability of clinker and cement is well known, yet for a full implementation of CCCs by 2050, there is an urgent need of fundamental knowledge on the carbonation process. In this scenario, the CONTRABASS DN aims to contribute to the global reduction of CO2 emissions by accelerating the implementation of Calcium Carbonate Cements, developing fundamental knowledge, practical know-how, and a generation of well-trained specialists to overcome the main challenges identified by our industrial and academic partners.

In this context, the EU has adopted ambitious goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 80-95% below 1990 levels by 2050. So far, most attention from policy makers and industry has been paid to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) which intends to concentrate CO2 and store it into geological sites.The current SCOT project is focusing on an emerging and insufficiently addressed area presenting strong research, market development and economic growth potential: the recycling / utilization of CO2 through its transformation into valuable products via chemical or biological technologies. In addition to reducing net CO2 emissions, this approach brings the benefit of reducing the consumption of non-renewable resources. Indeed, CO2 is no longer considered as a waste but as an efficient resource enabling industries to:- reduce dependency on fossil fuels and primary raw materials for the production of industrial and transportation fuels, basic chemicals, and building materials;- increase the use of renewable energies from intermittent sources (e.g. solar, photovoltaic, or wind) by providing a solution for electricity storage, via the conversion of CO2 into gaseous or liquid fuels in periods where potential production exceeds demand on the grid and would otherwise be wasted.SCOT is the first ever European initiative in the field of CO2 recycling / utilization.Through a stronger coordination of efforts among the consortium, the SCOT project will enable to:- define a Strategic European Research Agenda aimed at developing new breakthrough solutions and market applications- attract additional EU clusters, regions and investors to participate to multi-disciplinary research programmes and other collaborative actions defined in a Joint Action Plan- propose structural policy measures to favour the transition to a new European society based on the paradigm of “CO2-as-a-resource”, thereby significantly improving the EU’s overall competitive position and environmental performance on the international scene.	none given	none given	none given

This training program is intended to produce young scientists to fill needs in industry, consulting engineering firms, regulatory agencies, and local government in addition academic positions. The core objective of the MIR network is the training and professional development of young scientists in the state-of-the-art in the field of mineral-fluid reactivity. Mineral-fluid reactions, including dissolution, adsorption, nucleation, precipitation, and solid-solution formation are key to solving such pressing issues as development of smart coatings on body implants or drug delivery systems, minimizing risk in groundwater extraction, safer pesticide application, optimising CO2 sequestration, assuring drinking water quality, safe storage of radioactive waste products, and minimizing pollutant transport. The ability to accurately predict reactions in these systems is of utmost importance for municipalities and for industry in Europe today, but it relies on a detailed description of mineral-fluid reactions. Because of the cost of acquiring and maintaining the facilities and the time required to become an expert, only a few of these expertises are available in any single laboratory or any single European country. The MIR network has been created to overcome the limitations by combining forces from University research centres from several countries. This multi-site, international network will provide the cross-disciplinary training that will produce scientists ready to advance the limits of knowledge for true innovative breakthroughs.

The development of highly selective, high temperature, inorganic membranes is critical for the introduction of the novel membrane processes that will promote the transition to a low carbon economy and result in cleaner, more efficient and safer chemical conversions. However, high temperature membranes are difficult to study because of problems associated with sealing and determining the relatively low fluxes that are present in most laboratory systems (fluxes are conventionally determined by gas analysis of the permeate stream). Characterisation is difficult because of complex membrane microstructures.I will avoid these problems by adopting an entirely new approach to membrane materials selection and kinetic testing through a pioneering study of permeation in single pores of model membranes. Firstly, model single pore systems will be designed and fabricated; appropriate micro-analytical techniques to follow permeation will be developed. Secondly, these model systems will be used to screen novel combinations of materials for hybrid membranes and to determine kinetics with a degree of control not previously available in this field. Thirdly, I will use our improved understanding of membrane kinetics to guide real membrane design and fabrication. Real membrane performance will be compared to model predictions and I will investigate how the new membranes can impact on process design.If successful, an entirely new approach to membrane science will be developed and demonstrated. New membranes will be developed facilitating the adoption of new processes addressing timely challenges such as the production of high purity hydrogen from low-grade reducing gases, carbon dioxide capture and the removal of oxides of nitrogen from oxygen-containing exhaust streams.	none given	none given	none given

It is not only a methodology for developing numerical algorithms, but also a mathematical framework in which to explore their behavior. The finite element exterior calculus (FEEC) provides a new structure that produces a deeper understanding of the finite element method and its connections to the partial differential equation being approximated. The goal is to develop discretizations which are compatible with the geometric, topological, and algebraic structures which underlie well-posedness of the partial differential equation. The phrase FEEC was first used in a paper the PI wrote for Acta Numerica in 2006, together with his coworkers, D.N. Arnold and R.S. Falk. The general philosophy of FEEC has led to the design of new algorithms and software developments, also in areas beyond the direct application of the theory. The present project will be devoted to further development of the foundations of FEEC, and to direct or indirect use of FEEC in specific applications. The ambition is to set the scene for a nubmer of new research directions based on FEEC by giving ground-braking contributions to its foundation. The aim is also to use FEEC as a tool, or a guideline, to extend the foundation of numerical PDEs to a variety of problems for which this foundation does not exist. The more application oriented parts of the project includes topics like numerical methods for elasticity, its generalizations to more general models in materials science such as viscoelasticity, poroelasticity, and liquid crystals, and the applications of these models to CO2 storage and deformations of the spinal cord.”	none given	none given	none given

ERC-2016-COG	Tailoring the chemical reactivity of nanomaterials at the atomic level is one of the most important challenges in catalysis research. In order to achieve this elusive goal, fundamental understanding of the structural and chemical properties of these complex systems must be obtained. Numerous studies have been devoted to understanding the properties that affect the catalytic performance of metal nanoparticles (NPs) such as their size, interaction with the support, and chemical state. The role played by the NP shape on catalytic performance is, however, less understood. Complicating the analysis is the fact that the former parameters cannot be considered independently, since the NP size as well as the support will have an impact on the most stable NP shapes. In addition, the dynamic nature of the NP catalysts and their response to the environment must be taken into consideration, since the working state of a NP catalyst might not be the state in which the catalyst was prepared, but rather a structural and/or chemical isomer that adapted to the particular reaction conditions. To address the complexity of real-world catalysts, a synergistic approach taking advantage of a variety of cutting-edge experimental methods must be undertaken. This project focuses on model heterogeneous catalysts for reactions of tremendous societal and industrial relevance, namely the gas-phase hydrogenation and electrocatalytic reduction of CO2. Important components that are missing from existing studies, and that we propose to contribute, are a systematic design of catalytically active model NPs with narrow size and shape distributions and tunable oxidation state, and in situ and operando structural, chemical, and reactivity characterization of such model catalysts as a function of the reaction environment. The results are expected to open up new routes for the reutilization of CO2 through its direct conversion into valuable chemicals and fuels such as methanol, methane and ethylene.	none given	none given	none given

Electrochemistry is a powerful technology that can make use of renewable electricity from solar and wind to power the transformation of CO2 and water to valuable chemicals and fuels. However, the electrochemical conversion of CO2 is not ready for large-scale deployment due to the poor activity, selectivity, and stability of the current catalysts used. The only way to be able to achieve better understanding of this complicated system is through careful characterization of the catalyst/electrolyte interface during electrochemical measurements, as well as the development of new theoretical models that include the effects of the electrolyte. In this proposal, I will develop an integrated approach to study the effects of the catalyst and electrolyte compositions on the formation of desired chemical products during electrochemical CO2 reduction. To ensure a robust model of the catalyst/electrolyte interface can be established, I will focus on manipulating the catalyst and electrolyte compositions in parallel, while observing the formation of reaction intermediates as a function of applied potential. The proposal will focus on Cu-based electrodes, as Cu has uniquely shown the ability to form hydrocarbon products. To understand how the product formation changes, operando techniques will be used to monitor the reaction intermediates during electrochemical cycling, to reveal new insights to the reaction pathway for a given product. A theoretical model will be developed in parallel that focuses on understanding the nature of the electrochemical activity of ions used in this reaction. Finally, the transport and reactivity of these ions will be evaluated in use with a bipolar membrane, which can effectively separate the electrochemical environments of the CO2 reduction reaction and corresponding water oxidation reaction.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-2020-COG	The central goal of DETECT is to discover and establish new fundamental insight into the catalytic activity of duel and triple atom catalysts. Many chemical reactions – several related to securing a wider penetration of renewable energy – are not viable today due to a number of limitations of traditional catalysts including unfavorable scaling relations of intermediates, lack of selectivity, and cost and availability of precious metals. Employing catalysts consisting of only two or three atoms offers a possible route to circumvent these limitations, while also lifting the constraints of current single atom catalysts and opening the possibility of catalyzing more complex reactions that may require more than a single atom to proceed. This proposal will target electrochemical hydrogen peroxide formation, CO2 reduction to fuels and chemicals, and ammonia synthesis. The dual and triple atom catalysts will be developed in an interactive feedback loop involving computation, synthesis, characterization and activity testing. The dual and triple atom catalysts will be created using a cluster source with time-of-flight based mass filter, which enables even synthesis of dual and triple atoms catalyst with more than one elements – something that are virtually unexplored for catalysis. Further, this synthesis method will produce well-defined catalysts that can be characterized on the atomic level, which is essential for comparing with computational predictions in the feedback loop. DETECT could open for more energy efficient and more selective catalysts that could facilitate a number of ‘Dream Reactions’ for which we have no viable catalyst today. Not least in the field of transforming our current fossil fuel based society, new catalysts are desperately needed to ensure a greater penetration of sustainable energy.	none given	none given	none given

Mounting evidence demonstrate that many marine calcifiers generate biominerals by the intracellular formation of CaCO3 from seawater Ca2+ and metabolic CO2. To date, the underlying mechanisms that control the carbonate chemistry in calcifying vesicles are unknown which however will provide ground-breaking insights into a biological process that is capable of transforming a metabolic waste product – CO2 – into a versatile construction material. In the past 5 years my group has developed a unique methodological expertise to study the cellular physiology of calcifying systems. Building on this expertise CarboCell will tackle the important but challenging task to identify and understand the mechanisms of vesicular calcification. The sea urchin larva will serve as a powerful model organism, that represents a prime example for the intracellular formation of CaCO3 and which allows us to employ specifically targeted molecular perturbations in combination with sub-cellular ion and pH recordings. CarboCell will take a stepwise strategy to systematically examine the mechanisms of vesicular calcification on the three main core subjects- carbonate chemistry (WP1), ion/CO2 transport mechanisms (WP2) and vesicular volume regulation and trafficking (WP3).CarboCell will provide a deep mechanistic understanding of the calcification process with strong implications for explaining and predicting responses of marine calcifiers to the global phenomenon of ocean acidification. More importantly, knowledge about the mechanisms that allow organisms to transform CO2 into a construction material will pave the ground for novel, biology-inspired solutions of CO2 capture and utilization – a basic science approach at the core of twenty-first century concerns.	none given	none given	none given

Prominent new technologies to fight climate change involve the earth’s underground renewable and sustainable energy resources and underground storage. However, all these technologies depend on the injection of fluids into the earth’s crust, which, in turn, can cause significant earthquakes. INJECT will solve this problem on the basis of a new, ground-breaking scientific method that will prevent human-induced seismicity and will maximize energy production and storage from renewable and sustainable natural resources. INJECT’s interdisciplinary methodology is based on an astute scientific programme that brings knowledge far beyond the current state of the art. It brings control theory and mathematics to the heart of this new challenging problem. Based on cutting-edge theoretical developments, robust controllers and observers will be designed to optimally adjust fluid injection rates, prevent induced seismic events over large regions and optimize energy production and storage. The controllers will be derived using rigorous mathematical proofs and will take account of the complexity, the heterogeneities and the various uncertainties of the underlying physical processes. INJECT’s innovative theoretical methods will be thoroughly tested through novel numerical models and original experiments. High-fidelity numerical models will account for poro-elasto-dynamics, Coulomb friction, multiphysics and reduced-order modeling, and will outpace any existing algorithms in fault mechanics, both in terms of speed and accuracy. The experimental plan will build on a novel laboratory-scale demonstrator and hybrid lab-computer testing that will be designed and constructed to experimentally validate INJECT’s new concepts. Only then will it be possible to apply INJECT’s methodology in practice and unlock the significant energy potential of the Earth, reduce carbon emissions and help save our civilization.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-2019-COG	Reaching a historic high of 3Reaching a historic high of 32.5 gigatonnes in 2017, global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels combustion continue to increase. CO2 removal technologies are part of the solution to tackle this crucial environmental challenge. Because of their lower regeneration cost, amine-modified porous silicas (AMPS) are the most promising CO2-adsorbents for replacing the decades-old liquid amine scrubbing technology. AMPS are “moisture-tolerant” and selectively chemisorb CO2 from low-concentration mixtures, important features for operating under large-point CO2 emission source conditions. The nature of CO2 species formed on AMPS surfaces determines the gas adsorption capacity/kinetics, selectivity, stability, and regenerability. However, a molecular-scale understanding of the CO2-AMPS adsorption process remains elusive, hindering our ability to design improved sorbents. NMR4CO2 aims to fill in this gap, engaging for the first time state-of-the-art surface-enhanced ex- and in-situ solid-state NMR (SSNMR) to study the chemistry of acidic gases (mainly CO2) adsorbed on AMPS, and the gas-solid interfaces, using simulated industrial gas mixtures. The project combines the expertise of spectroscopists, chemists, and engineers to tackle these challenges.NMR4CO2 encompasses the design of novel SSNMR methods to study the kinetically- and thermodynamically-driven CO2-AMPS adsorption process, comprising in-situ flow NMR, dynamic nuclear polarization NMR, and isotopically-labeled gas mixtures. Important outcomes include: i) identification of competing CO2 chemisorption pathways; ii) effect on CO2 speciation of textural properties, amine type, inter-amine spacing, and amine-support cooperative effects; iii) real-time monitoring of acid gas speciation in multiple adsorption/desorption cycles; iv) identification of sorbent deactivation species; v) effect of pressure on CO2 speciation and vi) improvement of AMPS sorbent properties by synthetic modification.	none given	none given	none given

In this regard, utilization of CO2 and organic waste as feedstock to generate valuable products will play a key role in turning the chemical industry on a more sustainable, circular path. In the SunFlower project, we are going to demonstrate that two high-value processes (CO2 or CO reduction and glycerol oxidation will be studied first) can be synergistically coupled to produce chemicals (such as ethylene and lactic acid) and fuels, using novel photoelectrode assemblies (both photocathodes and photoanodes), original photoelectrochemical (PEC) device architectures, and automated processes. The SunFlower project is based on the following three hypotheses:1. Proper engineering of continuous-flow PEC cells operating under concentrated sunlight will allow current densities similar to the electrochemical (EC) methods.2. One semiconductor alone can supply the necessary energy input for bias-free operation of PEC cells, while generating two high-value products.3. PEC methods can provide superior selectivity compared to their EC counterparts, even at high current density operation (as the current density and potential can be decoupled).To validate our hypotheses, we are going to use for the first time:• The pairing of two high-value generating redox processes (none of them being H2 or O2 evolution).• Concentrated sunlight (which has only been used for water-splitting so far).• Custom-designed and developed PEC cells, elaborating on the photo-gas diffusion electrode concept.• Machine learning, based on the broad dataset collected by the sensors built in the PEC system, optimizing the performance at a system level.The proposed combination of these novel approaches will be of groundbreaking nature, therefore, it opens a whole new arena of solar energy conversion.	none given	none given	none given

To meet this necessary but steep target, radical progress in the technology for carbon capture and utilization (CCU) is needed. Electrochemical reduction of CO2 (eCO2R) is key to aid in the reduction of carbon levels and the production of sustainable chemicals and fuels. Current electrochemical reactor systems suffer from low efficiency and mass transport inhibitions due to the low CO2 solubility in aqueous electrolytes. By using gaseous CO2, zero gap electrolyzers overcome the low solubility issue. However, the productivity and product purity obtained with current zero gap cells are still a far way off from the industrially required levels. We believe that the main blame for this lies with the components used to facilitate the mass transport of the CO2 gas and liquid water to the catalyst on the one hand, and the removal of products and solid carbonate salts, out of the cell on the other hand, as they are still based on materials used in hydrogen fuel cells. The use of unsuitable materials affects the overall efficiency negatively. In TRANSCEND, I propose a disruptive approach to the CO2 electrolyzer. I will apply a radically new bottom-up design to arrive at an integrated structure of all components responsible for multiphase transport. Three work packages are designed to develop an in-depth understanding of the mass transport and functionality of each of the different reactor components whilst in parallel building up the integrated electrolyzer. The envisaged high control over the mass transport and reaction environment will lead to high efficiency and durability. If successful TRANSCEND will contribute greatly to the fundamental understanding of the requirements and operation of eCO2R reactors and lay the foundation for the next generation and industrial application of this technology.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-CoG-2015	The commercialization of low temperature fuel cells is restricted by the high cost and low durability of cathode catalysts. Intense efforts have been devoted to tackle this issue by engineering the structure of Pt-based catalysts. Herein, a novel concept towards enhancing the performance of low temperature fuel cell catalysts is proposed, namely by tuning the local active site microenvironment with an immobilized ionic liquid (IL) phase. As demonstrated by the applicant in preliminary work, a suitable IL layer strongly influences the active catalytic site in a very promising manner, apparently via a highly complex interplay of solvent-, ligand- and electrostatic-stabilization effects. As the structural versatility of ILs allows for rational engineering of this modification at molecular level, the proposed project aims for a full scientific exploration of the remarkable activation and stabilization effects in ORR, to enable the realization of an innovative fuel cell cathode with dramatically enhanced performance. To achieve this ambitious goal, a sound fundamental understanding of the interaction of ILs with electrocatalytic sites will be derived by making use of the excellent research infrastructure and longstanding experience in ionic liquid design and catalytic materials at our institute. To demonstrate the general applicability, the deduced principals will also be applied to CO2 electrochemical reduction. The approach will not stop at the design of novel catalyst systems, but will address solutions to ensure long-term stability of the IL modification. To avoid IL leaching from the catalyst over time, the recent success of the applicant in the synthesis of novel core/shell carbon materials will be employed. The IL will be synthesized in situ within a mesoporous core and the steric demanding ions fixed through a molecular sieving shell surrounding each catalyst particle. A model-assisted strategy will be applied for optimization of the core/shell pore structures.	none given	none given	none given

A key problem is the gigantic mass of CO2 emitted, which asks for robust, efficient and economically viable approaches that are currently missing and limited by the lack of suitable materials. To break through this barrier, I aim to develop metal-free dual-function porous poly(ionic liquid)s (DPPs) to capture and convert CO2 under ambient conditions into cyclic carbonates with high efficiency, and to apply them in model reactors for cost-effective processing of CO2.Poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) are innovative ionic materials, in which ionic liquids (ILs) are covalently joined by a macromolecular backbone. ILs are known CO2-philes, and IL-derived PILs are naturally in favour of CO2 sorption, while their ions can be tailor-made for catalytic CO2 transformation. Such dual-function as sorbent and catalyst is the intrinsic merit of PILs to address the CO2 challenge, but unfortunately has been long impeded by the mismatched chemical structures in each function. Our preliminary work proved that the newly emerging 1,2,4-triazolium PILs were catalytic active and drastically more CO2-philic than common polyimidazoliums, and are believed as the game-changer materials. We envision that by structuring chemically tailor-made 1,2,4-triazolium PILs into highly porous materials, they will be able to capture and convert CO2 under ambient conditions. This ground-breaking materials concept will circumvent the complicated, harsh conditions for CO2 fixation, and cut the cost to an affordably low level.This project will radically advance scientific knowledge and technology to fixate and convert CO2 at scale into value-added chemicals that further reduces the consumption of fossil resources. Its outcome will expedite the research in PIL and dual-function materials to revolutionize the CCU routes and equip us with powerful materials tools to mitigate the global CO2 rise.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-2017-STG	In heterogeneous catalysis surfaces decorated with uniformly dispersed, catalytically highly active particles are a key requirement for excellent performance. One of the main tasks in catalysis research is the continuous improvement or development of catalytically active materials.An emerging concept in catalyst design, and the aim of this project, is to selectively and reversibly tune and modify the surface chemistry by electrochemical polarisation. Perovskite-type catalysts raise the opportunity to incorporate guest elements as dopants. Upon electrochemical polarisation these dopants emerge from the oxide lattice to form catalytically active clusters or nanoparticles on the surface (by exsolution). In consequence this leads to a strong modification or enhancement of catalytic selectivity and activity. Electrochemical polarisation offers the possibility to adjust the surface chemistry in response to an external signal (here the applied voltage).Studies in a realistic catalytic reaction environment (in-situ) will enable a direct correlation of surface structure with catalytic activity, selectivity and the electrochemical stimulation. The unique combination of surface science, heterogeneous catalysis and electrochemistry will take this research to a new ground-breaking level. No research group has yet tried to tackle this topic on a fundamental mechanistic level by this multidisciplinary approach.The proposed project opens unprecedented possibilities for catalyst design and in-situ control due to the versatility of perovskite-type catalyst materials and dopant elements. Nanoparticle exsolution is a highly time- and cost-efficient way of catalyst preparation and it will offer solutions to major problems in heterogeneous catalysis, such as ageing (sintering) or catalyst deactivation (coking). Tuneable catalyst surfaces will facilitate tackling a major concern of the 21st century, the utilisation of CO2 and its conversion to renewable fuel.	none given	none given	none given

A fascinating strategy to restore the advantages of stored CO2 as a raw material would be to consider a slow biological upgrading process of CO2 in deep geological formations. Significantly, the recent development of microfluidic tools to study pore-scale phenomena under high pressure, opens new avenues to investigate such strategies. Thus, the strategic objective of this project is to develop and to use “Biological Geological Laboratories on a Chip – BioGLoCs” mimicking reservoir conditions in order to gain greater understanding in the mechanisms associated with the biogeological conversion process of CO2 to methane in CGS environment at pore scale. The specific objectives are: (1) to determine the experimental conditions for the development of competent micro-organisms (methanogens) and to establish the methane production rates depending on the operating parameters, (2) to evaluate the feasibility of a H2 in situ production strategy (required to sustain the methanogenesis process), (3) to investigate the full bioconversion process in 2D and 3D, (4) to demonstrate the process scaling from pore scale to liter scale and (5) to evaluate the overall process performance.This multidisciplinary project gathering expertise in chemical engineering and geomicrobiology will be the first ever use of microfluidics approaches to investigate a biogeological transformation taking into account the thermo-hydro-bio-chemical processes. It will result in the identification of efficient geomicrobiological methods and materials to accelerate the CO2 to methane biogeoconversion process.

ERC-2018-COG	Carbon dioxide capture and storage is a technology to mitigate climate change by removing CO2 from flue gas streams or the atmosphere and storing it in geological formations. While CO2 removal from natural gas by amine scrubbing is implemented on the large scale, the cost of such process is currently prohibitively expensive. Inexpensive alkali earth metal oxides (MgO and CaO) feature high theoretical CO2 uptakes, but suffer from poor cyclic stability and slow kinetics. Yet, the key objective of recent research on alkali earth metal oxide based CO2 sorbents has been the processing of inexpensive, naturally occurring CO2 sorbents, notably limestone and dolomite, to stabilize their modest CO2 uptake and to establish re-activation methods through engineering approaches. While this research demonstrated a landmark Megawatt (MW) scale viability of the process, our fundamental understanding of the underlying CO2 capture, regeneration and deactivation pathways did not improve. The latter knowledge is, however, vital for the rational design of improved, yet practical CaO and MgO sorbents. Hence this proposal is concerned with obtaining an understanding of the underlying mechanisms that control the ability of an alkali metal oxide to capture a large quantity of CO2 with a high rate, to regenerate and to operate with high cyclic stability. Achieving these aims relies on the ability to fabricate model structures and to characterize in great detail their surface chemistry, morphology, chemical composition and changes therein under reactive conditions. This makes the development of operando and in situ characterization tools an essential prerequisite. Advances in these areas shall allow achieving the overall goal of this project, viz. to formulate a roadmap to fabricate improved CO2 sorbents through their precisely engineered structure, composition and morphology.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-2019-COG	Since the discovery in the nineteenth century, carbonylation chemistry has found broad applicability in chemical industries and become now a key technology for bulk and fine chemical synthesis. Despite its substantial toxicity, carbon monoxide (CO) is commonly used as carbonyl source causing considerable safety issues, particularly when used on bulk scale. The replacement of this hazardous gas with more benign surrogates would be highly desirable, and recent ideas focus on the valorisation of carbon dioxide as abundant, non-toxic and renewable carbon resource. However, few industrial processes utilise carbon dioxide as a raw material, and potent catalysts are required to overcome its thermodynamic and kinetic barrier. In this regard, ionic liquids show considerable potential as cooperative media as they can solubilise large concentrations of carbon dioxide but also strongly interact and activate carbon dioxide.This project focuses on the photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide in ionic liquids and its successive conversion into carbonyl compounds. Several goals need to be realised, including fundamental studies and optimisation of the ionic liquid co-catalysed photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to produce CO under mild conditions (Goal 1). The reactivity of formed CO in supercritical carbon dioxide with various organic substrates needs to be explored (Goal 2) before finally developing a streamlined and continuous process for the direct formation of carbonyl compounds from carbon dioxide (Goal 3).I envision that the photocatalytic activation of carbon dioxide in combination with the positive features of tailored ionic liquids as co-catalysts may overcome problems currently associated with carbon dioxide utilisation, eventually replacing the long-standing bastion of CO-based carbonylation chemistry with novel solutions.	none given	none given	none given

This carbon sequestration is popular because it would allow us to place carbon into semi-permanent (on human timescales) storage, ‘buying time’ to wean us from our dependence on carbon-based energy sources. Application of such a mitigation technique presumes knowledge of what will happen to carbon when it is dissolved in various environments. Studies of naturally produced excess dissolved CO2 are, however, equivocal; this lack of knowledge represents a huge deficit in our comprehension of the global carbon cycle and specifically the processes removing carbon from the surface of the planet over geological timescales.This proposal will resolve the sink for CO2 within marine sediments and oceanic crust. Beneath much of the ocean floor exists the ‘deep biosphere’, microbial populations living largely in the absence of oxygen, consuming organic carbon that has fallen to the sea floor, producing a large excess of dissolved inorganic carbon. This dissolved inorganic carbon can diffuse back to the ocean or can precipitate in situ as carbonate minerals. Previous attempts to quantify the flux of carbon through the deep biosphere focused mostly on studies of sulfur and carbon, and these studies cannot reveal the fate of the produced inorganic carbon. I propose a novel approach to constrain the fate of carbon through the study of the subsurface calcium cycle. Calcium is the element involved in precipitating carbon as in situ carbonate minerals and thus will directly provide the required mass balance to determine the fate of CO2 in the marine subsurface. This mass balance will be achieved through experiments, measurements, and numerical modeling, to achieve the primary objective of constraining the fate of carbon in submarine environments.	none given	none given	none given

CO2 electroreduction (CO2E) offers a pathway to generate globally used chemicals using renewable electricity. The performance of CO2E towards key chemicals such as ethylene, ethanol (C2) and higher energy-density molecules increasing number of carbon atoms (e.g. C3 and beyond) is today far from its technoeconomic viability. Product selectivity, energy efficiency, stability, and carbon utilization are, when combined at scale, insufficient.Further advances in CO2R performance are precluded by the yet limited understanding of reaction pathways, mass-transport and reactant competition; the scarce knowledge of the catalyst and its environment during reaction; and the lack of ability to control these, accurately, at the catalyst metal/liquid interface. NASCENT tackles these challenges exploring an innovative catalyst design materials platform to address the catalyst interface through the atomic-, nano-, and micro-scales. NASCENT exploits a family of metal and polymer precursors and engineers their assembly into metal/polymer interfaces with specific configurations tailored for CO2E. This is informed by a suite of complementary operando spectroscopies, designed and orchestrated to resolve the unanswered questions of CO2E interfaces at relevant operating conditions: Involving high current density, abrupt potentials, and a highly dynamic water/ion environment. This will enable the rational design of metal/polymer CO2E interfaces that achieve, and exploit, control over composition, reactants, ion, charges, and electric fields, across the needed spatial and temporal scales. NASCENT will help answer key fundamental questions in CO2E leading to transformative advances: Its ultimate goal is the viable, clean electrosynthesis of most important C2 chemicals and a path to generate so far elusive C3+ molecules efficiently.	none given	none given	none given

CO2Valorize proposes a new approach to drastically reduce these emissions by partly replacing some of the limestone content with supplementary cementitious materials (SCM). Such materials are additionally carbonated using captured CO2, so this part-replacement process utilises captured CO2. Promising, calcium silicates rich SCM can come from waste materials such as mine tailings and recycled concrete, all of which are available in large quantities. The carbonation process of such materials is complex and barely understood to date. Our networks aim to lay the scientific foundations to create fundamental knowledge on the mechanisms, reaction kinetics, the physico-chemical subprocess, and the performance of the modified cement in order to provide a proof-of-concept and show that a CO2 reduction by 50 % per tonne of cement produced is feasible. The project is driven by leading companies that represent important parts of the value chain and ensure a fast uptake of the results with the potential to commercialise new equipment, processes and software during and after the project. The structured approach combines complementary research for each individual project in the academic and industry sector. This is accompanied by a balanced mix of high-level scientific courses and transferable skills delivered by each partner locally and in dedicated training schools and workshops at network level. This way, each doctoral candidate builds up deep scientific expertise and interdisciplinary knowledge to deliver game-changing cleantech innovations during and after the project. CO2Valorize is impact-driven and strives for portfolios of high-class joint publications in leading journals and patents. The transfer of the results into first-of-its-kind engineering solutions contribute to the next generation of cement processes that can mitigate climate change.	none given	none given	none given

Especially for Kyoto Protocol Annex 1 countries, whose challenge is to cut CO2 emissions by 8% by 2008-2012 and probably deeper cuts th ereafter. At the same time energy demand is rising and our reliance on fossil fuels is unlikely to diminish in the near to medium term. As a result the big challenge is to reduce CO2 emissions from fossil fuels. Carbon dioxide capture and geological stor age (CCS) could make huge cuts in CO2 emissions in the near to mid term. In order for CCS to be adopted on a large-scale assessment of the storage potential Europe wide is essential. The GeoCapacity project will focus on countries in eastern, central and s outhern Europe not previously covered in detail. This project will provide the data required for the Europe wide adoption of CCS. The project will focus on applying advanced evaluation techniques (GIS, DSS) and complementing the datasets by emission, inf rastructure and storage site mapping as well as undertaking economic evaluations. This will enable source-to-sink matching across Europe. Site selection criteria, standards and methodologies will be created and applied to the project. Locating potential CO 2 storage sites may be essential to the emergence of the hydrogen economy. Production of hydrogen will be heavily reliant on fossil fuels at least in its early development and will have to consider CO2 reduction strategies. GeoCapacities will also begin to build towards a framework for international cooperation especially with other CSLF countries beginning with China (possibly later with India and Russia). Focusing on technology transfer facilitating the countries to undertake similar studies, as these cou ntries perhaps face an even greater challenge to reduce CO2 emissions due to their rapidly growing energy demands. This project will be built on east – west and international cooperation.				F1

The combination of both, the gasification and the in situ CO2 capture initiates a shift reaction in product gas composition towards H2. Experiments with different hydrocarbons and dolomite revealed that hydrogen concentrations higher than 95 vol % can be achieved using this technology. The CO2 laden sorbent material has to be regenerated in an additional calcinations step, generating a pure CO2 gas stream for subsequent sequestration. The proposed project aims on exploiting this potential to produce a gas stream in the regeneration process consisting of >95% CO2. The work programme includes the screening of available inputs and required product quality, basic process investigations, pilot scale experiments and technical and socio-economic evaluation considering technical, social, ethical and economic criterions Expected Results are a detailed definition of an environmentally friendly, high efficient coal technology producing a highly H2 enriched product gas and in situ CO2 capture; a detailed technical assessment of process efficiency in terms of energy (coal to H2) and CO2 captured (% of input) and a life cycle assessment of H2 production costs and costs per t of CO2 captured.

Objectives and problems to be solved: The EU Kyoto objective imply a reduction of 8% (relative to 1990) of the greenhouse gas emissions, corresponding to ±600 million tonnes per year of CO2 between 2008 – 2012. Power generation is the largest individual sector contribution approximately one third of the CO2 emissions. Nearly all fossil fuel power generation occurs at major facilities, facilitating CO2 capture and sequestration. Total EU (\Norway) emissions of CO2 from thermal power generation were some 950 million tonnes in 1990. The principal objective of GESTCO is to make a major contribution to the reduction in CO2 emissions to the atmosphere and so ensuring Europe a continued stable supply of affordable and environmentally acceptable energy. A solution will thus be sought to the problem: Is geological storage of CO2 a viable method capable of wide-scale application? The GESTCO project intends to provide the first documentation that, for emission sources within selected key areas, sufficient geological storage capacity is available. Cost of energy will obviously increase, but it is anticipated that it be comparable to that of renewable. Description of the work: The project will study the distribution and coincidence of thermal CO2 emission sources and location/quality of geological storage capacity. The study will be thematic in nature and will investigate the storage potential of four main storage types in selected areas, using these as representative settings which, at a future time, could provide the backbone of an atlas of European geological storage capacity: 1. Onshore/offshore saline aquifers with or without lateral seal. 2. Low enthalpy geothermal reservoirs. 3. Deep methane bearing coal beds, and abandoned coal and salt mines. 4. Exhausted or near exhausted hydrocarbon structures. Public/political acceptance is considered to be a prerequisite for further development of the concept into a marketable commodity and a public hearing will be held. Expected Results and Exploitation Plans: The results of the project will encompass evaluation of the underground storage potential in the representative areas combined with inventories of power plant (and major industrial) point sources of CO2 emission. Through a number of realistic scenarios, cost of CO2 storage will be calculated (per tonne of CO2 & as electricity cost increase) and be compared to other energy sources. A dedicated decision support system will be developed, enabling ’emission source – storage’ scenarios to be planned and cost evaluated. This facility will be made publicly available on the internet. Result of the public hearing will also be made available to interested parties. The project has been designed to provides the rationale for and scientific documentation of a concept for CO2 subsurface storage. Results of the study will thus be aimed at the following user groups:· Policy makers (UN, EU, national level) for setting emission prices and accepting the concept as greenhouse gas sink.· Power companies facing emission level regulations.· Potential storage operators and providers of goods and services, looking for new markets for advanced products.

ERC-2016-COG	Sugars, aminoacids or organic acids are typically solid at room temperature. Nonetheless when combined at a particular molar fraction they present a high melting point depression, becoming liquids at room temperature. These are called Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents – NADES. NADES are envisaged to play a major role on different chemical engineering processes in the future. Nonetheless, there is a significant lack of knowledge on fundamental and basic research on NADES, which is hindering their industrial applications. For this reason it is important to extend the knowledge on these systems, boosting their application development. NADES applications go beyond chemical or materials engineering and cover a wide range of fields from biocatalysis, extraction, electrochemistry, carbon dioxide capture or biomedical applications. Des.solve encompasses four major themes of research: 1 – Development of NADES and therapeutic deep eutectic solvents – THEDES; 2 – Characterization of the obtained mixtures and computer simulation of NADES/THEDES properties; 3 – Phase behaviour of binary/ternary systems NADES/THEDES + carbon dioxide and thermodynamic modelling 4 – Application development. Starting from the development of novel NADES/THEDES which, by different characterization techniques, will be deeply studied and characterized, the essential raw-materials will be produced for the subsequent research activities. The envisaged research involves modelling and molecular simulations. Des.solve will be deeply engaged in application development, particularly in extraction, biocatalysis and pharmaceutical/biomedical applications. The knowledge that will be created in this proposal is expected not only to have a major impact in the scientific community, but also in society, economy and industry.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-2018-STG	The EU integrated strategic energy technology plan, SET-plan, in its 2016 progress report, has called for urgent measures on the carbon capture, however, the high energy-penalty and environmental issues related to the conventional capture process (amine-based scrubbing) has been a major bottleneck. High-performance membranes can reduce the energy penalty for the capture, are environment-friendly (no chemical is used, no waste is generated), can intensify chemical processes, and can be employed for the capture in a decentralized fashion. However, a technological breakthrough is needed to realize such chemically and thermally stable, high-performance membranes. This project seeks to develop the ultimate high-performance membranes for H2/CO2 (pre-combustion capture), CO2/N2 (post-combustion capture), and CO2/CH4 separations (natural gas sweetening). Based on calculations, these membranes will yield a gigantic gas permeance (1 and 0.1 million GPU for the H2 and the CO2 selective membranes, respectively), 1000 and 10-fold higher than that of the state-of-the-art polymeric and nanoporous membranes, respectively, reducing capital expenditure per unit performance and the needed membrane area. For this, we introduce three novel concepts, combining the top-down and the bottom-up crystal engineering approaches to develop size-selective, chemically and thermally stable, nanoporous two-dimensional membranes. First, exfoliated nanoporous 2d nanosheets will be stitched in-plane to synthesize the truly-2d membranes. Second, metal-organic frameworks will be confined across a nanoporous 2d matrix to prepare a composite 2d membrane. Third, atom-thick graphene films with tunable, uniform and size-selective nanopores will be crystallized using a novel thermodynamic equilibrium between the lattice growth and etching. Overall, the innovative concepts developed here will open up several frontiers on the synthesis of high-performance membranes for a wide-range of separation processes.	none given	none given	none given

The main emphasis was placed on the thermodynamic calculation of the cycle and the components according to a revised specification, the development of the components such as compressor, heat exchangers, means for control and expansion, storage vessels and refrigerant hoses, test bench investigations, construction of two vehicles, vehicle tests in wind tunnels and road tests and the evaluation of safety and costs aspects. Following this, a direct comparison to a current serial air-conditioning system under commonly acknowledged conditions became possible. An automotive air-conditioning system is often operated above the critical temperature of CO(2) at 31.1°C. Therefore a CO(2) system will mostly work in a transcritical cycle mostly. At supercritical conditions (critical pressure: 73.8 bar), pressure and temperature are independent of each other. The conditions in the evaporator remain subcritical. In this transcritical cycle the refrigeration capacity, the compressor work and thereby the cycle efficiency depend on the existing discharge pressure in accordance with the heat rejection temperature. The optimum discharge pressure is a function of the ambient temperature. The refrigeration circuit control should provide sufficient cooling capacity at high efficiency with satisfying passenger comfort, largely independent from the momentary driving and climate conditions. The vehicle refrigeration circuit consists of a compressor, gas cooler, expansion device, evaporator, accumulator and internal heat exchanger. The packaging shows only slight differences to series vehicles. The small cross-section of the refrigerant pipes makes it easier to find a route through the tight engine compartment. The refrigeration cycle with CO(2) operates at high pressure levels, but this does not represent an significantly increased risk with adapted components. Due to refrigerant properties the new developed components remain nearly comparable in respect of weight and dimensions. The RACE project has shown that with CO(2) systems undiminished efficiency, capacity and passenger comfort and safety can be reached. At high thermal load, the system performance can be considerably better. This applies to comparisons made with highly developed state of the art systems. The physiological characteristics of CO(2) must be taken into account by careful design and by adjusted production, service and use in the vehicle. This will result in extra components, like sensor and will require a higher level of skills. The direct effect of refrigerant emissions from HFC-based automobile air-conditioners is a significant part of the TEWI. The leakage scenario of R134a defines the amount of reduction on global warming. The assumed extra weight for the air-conditioning CO(2) system is 3 kg. The system environmental evaluation with a European and North-American user profile and emissions scenario showed a reduction in global warming emissions of 18% to 70%. For a mid sized vehicle, the diminishing of the overall global warming by phasing out HFC-134a refrigerant is between 2% and 8%. The energy consumption for operating CO(2) systems is in the same range as conventional HFC systems. The CO(2) A/C-system allows high passenger comfort with a maximum of ecological compatibility. Serious technical arguments against a vehicle long-term application of the transcritical cycle are not seen during the project. The cost reduction potential of a conventional cycle cannot be reached by the CO(2) system. A successful introduction of the new refrigerants needs a world wide acceptance from the international car industry, only one ‘Mobile Air-Conditioning Standard Refrigerant’ is suitable in the future. The proposed research is directed at developing a refrigeration cycle for use in automotive air conditioning systems. The new cycle will use a naturally occurring gas as a refrigerant. Because of the new refrigerants properties and the common working conditions of an automotive a/c cycle it will be necessary to develop a completely new transcritical vapour compression system. Major tasks are: (I) Calculation of thermodynamic cycle and of components based on typical car specifications (II) Development of components – compressor, heat exchangers, expansion device, control device, receiver and hoses – (III) Bench tests (IV) Construction of prototypes (V) Car tests in windtunnel and in-field (VI) Safety & Acoustics evaluation Successful completion will provide a long-term solution for an environmentally harmless refrigeration system.

The proposed process uses in-situ CO2 capture (AER, Absorption Enhanced Reforming). It is more efficient than conventional gasification due to (i) the in-situ integration of the reaction heat of CO2 absorption and water-gas shif t reaction heat (both exothermic) into the gasification and (ii) the internal reforming of primary and secondary tars, which cuts off the formation of higher tars. Thus, the chemical energy of tars remains in the product gas. The product gas after dust rem oval can directly be used in a gas engine for electricity generation. Due to the low operation temperature (up to 700°C) and due to CaO-containing bed materials, the proposed process allows the use of problematic feedstocks such as biomass with high minera l and high moisture content, e.g. straw, sewage sludge, etc., leading to an increased market potential for biomass gasification processes. Screening/development of absorbent materials with high attrition stability and tar cracking properties will be carrie d out. Analysis of tar formation/decomposition process will be studied in a lab-scale fixed bed reactor and a 100 kWth circulating fluidised bed reactor (continuous mode). With the acquired data, the 8 MWth biomass plant at Guessing, Austria, will be opera ted with absorbent bed material in order to prove the feasibility of a scale-up and to assess the economical aspects of the process. In order to point out the market potential, the cost reduction of the AER technology will be quantified in comparison with the conventional gasification power plant. Expected results will be: (i) a broad knowledge of the proposed process and (ii) a low-cost technology for biomass gasification with subsequent power production.				1

The atmospheric option will be developed towards a pilot plant application. For the pressurized option the project seeks for a proof of principle to determine if the advantages of a pressurized capture system can balance the problems known from existing PFBC systems. The quantifiable objectives are: – Low CO2 capture costs (<20 Euro/t for atmospheric, <12 Euro/t for pressurized sy stems) - Acceptable efficiency penalty for CO2 capture (<= 6% nel). - >90% carbon capture for new power plants and >60% for retrofitted existing plants – A purge gas stream containing >95% CO2 – A solid purge usable for cement production – Sim ultaneous sulphur and CO2 removal with sulphur recovery option Approach: Limestone is a CO2 carrier. The CO2 can be released easily in a conventional calcination process, well known in the cement and lime industry. By integrating a closed carbonation/calc ination loop in the flue gas of a conventional CFB-boiler, the CO2 in the flue gas can be removed. The heat required for calcination is released during carbonation and can be utilised efficiently (high temperature) in the steam cycle of the boiler. Concent rated CO2 can be generated when using oxygen blown calcination. Because the fuel required for supplying heat for calcination is only a fraction of the total fuel requirements, the required oxygen is only about 1/3 of the oxygen required for oxyfuel process es.

While CCUS value chains, i.e., the entire pathway from CO2 capture to transport to its eventual storage or utilization, can today be realized, the industry is still in its infancy and many issues must be addressed to achieve the rapid deployment required. The consortium, consisting of 15 partners, including 2 associations with over 400 members in total, brings together entities with leading expertise on all aspects of CCUS value chains. 30 organisations, representing industry, RTOs, Associations, clusters, ports and municipalities involved in the development and deployment of CCUS value chains, will contribute their expertise as networking partners. Starting from an analysis of the technical and non-technical state-of-play in the BS and MS regions, CCUS ZEN will select at least eight value chains (four in each region) for detailed study and comparison with successful value chains from the NS region.

The use of biomass and coal derived carbon monoxide as a fundamental building block for simple organic molecules is a key objective in energy research, and the latter, coupled with global warming considerations, dictate that new ways to both activate and derivatise carbon dioxide must also be found. The programme of work described in this proposal tackles these problems through experience and excellence in organometallic chemistry and small molecule activation. It is centred around three closely integrated and synergistic strands. The synthetic work in Strand 1 focuses on reductive assembly of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide on low oxidation state metal centres to build simple organic molecules and rings stoichiometrically. The work in this strand will also be driven by developing a detailed understanding of the mechanisms of these reactions through experiment. A key feature of this proposal is the computational work, which is the subject of Strand 2, in which theory and modelling will be used in an iterative way to predict and inform the experimental synthetic and mechanistic work in Strand 1. Strand 3 will establish the underlying redox properties of these systems using electrochemical techniques, in order to ultimately to generate systems which will catalytically generate organic molecules from carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The program of work described in this proposal, which will deliver stoichiometric and catalytic recycling of carbon oxides, is at the frontier of future sustainable chemical technology. It is therefore of high risk, but ultimately extremely high reward.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-StG-2014	“Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a potent greenhouse gas whose presence in the atmosphere is a critical factor for global warming. At the same time atmospheric CO2 is a cheap and readily available carbon source that can in principle be used for the synthesis of biomass/biofuels and value-added products. However, as synthetic chemistry lacks suitable catalysts to functionalize the CO2-molecule, there is an increasing need to exploit the CO2-fixing mechanisms offered by Nature for applications at the interface of chemistry and biology. This proposal is centered on reductive carboxylation, a completely novel principle of enzymatic CO2-fixation that we discovered only recently and that is one of the most efficient CO2-fixation reactions described in biology so far. First, we will focus on understanding the novel principle of reductive carboxylation, by studying its catalysis at molecular scale and single step resolution. This will allow us to derive the first detailed catalytic framework for highly efficient CO2-fixation and enable us to engineer novel carboxylation reactions and products. Second, we will establish a new in vitro platform for the assembly and optimization of artificial (“”synthetic””) CO2-fixation pathways that are based on reductive carboxylation and that have been calculated to be kinetically and bioenergetically favored compared with naturally existing CO2-fixation pathways. This platform closes a long-standing gap between the theory and practice of synthetic pathway design, and will be used to develop the first functional in vitro module for CO2-fixation, a “”synthetic organelle””. Finally, we will realize synthetic CO2-fixation in selected biological model systems. To that end, we will implement the optimized in vitro pathways in isolated chloroplasts, as well as alpha-proteobacterial hosts to create novel CO2-fixing organelles and organisms, breaking new grounds in understanding and engineering biological systems for efficient CO2-fixation.”	none given	none given	none given

In this project the feasibility of greenhouse gas emission reduction by CO2 storage in subsurface coal seams is studied. Locally produced CO2 or flue gas from a power plant is injected in the coal at a selected test site in the Silesian Coal Basin (Poland), while CH4 is produced simultaneously. The CH4 can be used as fuel for clean energy generation, without net CO2 emissions. Research is mandatory in this new and complex field of technology to design an optimum development plan for the site. This research involves laboratory work, model simulations, and investigation of time-lapse monitoring. Existing wells at the test site and a newly drilled well will be used for the test, and the injected gas is monitored in time. Together with an evaluation and field up scaling of the results the project will be concluded with a socio-economical and a future technological evaluation, and implemented in a Decision Support System.

To turn this ambitious dream into reality, Gensoric targets in a first step a sector which accounts for more than 73% of the fossil fuel usage and 57% of all CO2 emissions in the EU: heating!To overcome this situation, Gensoric aspires to empower private uses to change things actively by themselves. As a means for that, the company introduces ist willpower system: the worldwide first residential CO2 utilization system. It empowers its users to their produce fuel at home from the surrounding atmospheric CO2. The core technology is a patent protected and widely validated electro-biocatalytical process and process technology that runs under ambient conditions.As it uses primarily energy from renewable sources such as installed solar panels or micro wind turbine, the system can also be used as an effective way to store energy from the renewables, but it has a greater capacity than power packs and batteries.During the previous SME-1project its potential to disrupt the conventional energy supply chains was confirmed. Moreover, the market potential of more than 7 bln Euro in alone in Western Europe and the underlying business model (‘ink cartridge’) attracted strategic partners such as one of Germany’s leading energy and utility company, with access to 30 million customers across Europe, who will take over the market introduction once the pilot project has been completed successfully. Outcome of the here proposed SME-2 project is a market ready system with an overall efficiency of 45% and an average capacity to reduce 11kg of CO2 emission per day and user.	none given	none given	none given

The CLC technology uses metal oxide particles for oxygen transfer from combustion air to fuel, thus CO2 is obtained in a separate stream without any ga s separation needed. The partners previous EU-project GRACE successfully demonstrated this new combustion technology for the first time, in more than 100 hours operation, and it was found to be one of the absolute best in the cost evaluation of CCP (CO2 C apture Project). The process features 100% CO2 capture, a highly concentrated stream of CO2 ready for sequestration, no NOx emissions, and no costs or energy penalties for gas separation. CLC uses well-established boiler technology very similar to cir culating fluidized bed boilers, which also means that costs can be assessed with great accuracy. CLC is estimated to achieve CO2 capture cost reductions of 40 to 50% compared to todays best available technology, namely post combustion amine scrubbing. Critical issues for an up-scaling of CLC to a demonstration phase of 20-50 MWe have been identified and it is the objective of the project to establish and validate solutions to these. The project will: – establish industrial-scale metal oxide particle production including availability of suitable commercial raw materials, and also investigate alternate production paths and effects of gas impurities – extend operational experience in long term tests of particles in available prototype, #gt;1000 hour s – scale up process to 100/200 kWth with advanced features, using existing CFB rig – extend and verify modelling capability for scale-up – perform process and technology scale-up to prepare for industrial 20-50 MWe demonstration unit and pro duce update of economic assessment The project will strengthen the partners world-leading position on CLC and grow European capability to deliver a leading edge CO2 capture technol				F

Therefore,they find potential commercial applications in several sectors of economic activity. Some of them are already commerciallyviable, i.e. in aquaculture, agriculture, human nutrition or cosmetics, while some others still need R&D to be furtherdeveloped, i.e. in bioenergy or pharma. In addition, bearing in mind that microalgae are the most efficient natural CO2capturing system, are very productive and do not compete with fertile lands, they have potential to simultaneously contributeto palliate the big crisis humankind is facing: environmental sustainability, energetic efficiency, and food security.AlgaEnergy, a solid Spanish biotechnology based SME, did identify this potential. Since its establishment, it has served as avehicle to consolidate the existing knowledge within the scientific field of microalgae in Spain -a recognized international hubin the matter-, which was dispersed across universities. Using it as a stepping stone, it has been investing in generatingfurther R&D in order to scale-up the processes and develop ready to market products, so that the achievements in the labphase reach also the society. Within this task, AlgaEnergy has recently been able to reach a semi-industrial scale (TRL 7)with the start of the first phase operations of its semi-industrial plant in South of Spain, which captures real flue gasemissions directly from the second biggest combined cycle plant in Europe, being a worldwide premiere. Therefore,AlgaEnergy is now ready to orientate its technology towards the commercialization of its already commercially viableproducts. INTERnational COmmercialization of innovative products based on MicroalgaE (INTERCOME– the second phase of the SME Instrument projectALGAEPRINT) is based on the commercial orientation that is needed to make AlgaEnergy financially autonomous, aftermillionaire resources and 8 years of efforts invested in applied R&D.	none given	none given	none given

These reactions drive fluid-mediated rock transformation processes that governs the stability of mountain belts, the formation of hydrothermal mineral deposits and the sequestration of anthropogenic CO2 as well as many other processes. I propose that contrary to our current thinking, the re-actions themselves are driven by self-promoting nanoscale transport phenomena.Existing geological frameworks lack a quantitative understanding of mechanisms that control the rates of reactive fluid-rock interaction. This is because they do not account for the pervasive influence of nanoscale dynamics on the redistribution of elements within geological materials. The nanoEARTH project will solve this by defining the predominant transport processes occurring in mineral nanopores and the dynamic behaviour of fluid-rock interaction.To achieve the nanoEARTH aims and break through current limitations in our understanding of fluid-rock interaction, I will use my expertise in the multi-scale physics of geological processes. I will combine (1) novel nanoscale experiments that will establish transport mechanisms through natural and synthetic mineral nanopores and (2) unique in operando observations of fluid-driven mineral transformations at multiple length scales with (3) molecular-to continuum-scale transport modelling that is (4) constrained by geological observations.Through this integrative strategy, I will deliver new knowledge to redefine how the reaction of fluids with minerals self-generates a mode of transport that mobilises elements and controls the rates of fluid-driven transformation. This will impact geoscience research well beyond the project duration and bring the nanoscience of geological processes a quantum-leap forward in defining it as an integral part of solid Earth science.	none given	none given	none given

Methane steam reformin g is currently the major route for hydrogen production and will be employed as a model case. High purity hydrogen (99.99\%) is usually recovered from the reformate by using a PSA process. A typical PSA waste gas stream (CO2~55%, H2~35%, CH4 & CO~ 15%) is not usually recycled since it has to be recompressed to the PSA feed pressure for recovering only a small fraction of the recycled hydrogen. Furthermore, it cannot be used for CO2 sequestration since it contains significant amounts of H2 and CH4. A hybr id process is expected to combine the high throughput and H2 product purity of a PSA process with the lower operating costs of a membrane process. It is expected to enhance the overall H2 recovery and provide an H2-free CO2 stream ready for capture and seq uestration. To achieve this goal in the proposed R&D project, the following scientific tasks have been identified: *Generation of transport and adsorption data for H2/CO2 multicomponent mixtures (CH4, H2O, CO) for well characterized membrane and sorben t materials *Development and improvement of membrane and PSA separation models *Design and optimization of membrane, PSA and hybrid separation systems using the improved models developed *Component design for the manufacture of a lab-scale hybrid separatio n system prototype *Assessment of the hybrid separation process sustainability and impact on the environment based on a life cycle analysis approach The following possible innovations are foreseen as an outcome of this project: *H2 recovery improvement *Si mplification of PSA operation (reduction of steps) without loss of recovery and product purity *Co-production of high purity H2 and CO2 streams *Development of improved membrane and sorbent materials

This project aims to address old and new unresolved challenging questions related to dike propagation, sill emplacement and in general to the dynamics of fluid and gas-filled reservoirs. I propose to focus on crustal deformation, induced seismicity and external stress fields to study the signals dikesand sills produce, how they grow and why they reactivate after years of non-detected activity. I will combine experimental, numerical and analytical techniques, in close cooperation with volcano observatories providing us with the data necessary to validate our models. In the lab, I will simulate magma propagation injecting fluid into solidified gelatin. I will also contribute to a project, currently under evaluation, on the monitoring of a CO2sequestration site.

Addressing polygeneration schemes COACH will thus refer to the FP6/IP DYNAMIS project. COACH will also draw on other on-going projects, in particular GEOCAPACITY. COACH addresses 3 issues: Coal gasification for appropriate coal-based polygeneration schemes combined with carbon capture and storage; Identification of reliable geological storage capabilities of CO2 in China; Societal anchorage, including legal, regulatory, funding and economic aspects, and public issues. To reach such objectives, COACH comprises 4 workpackages, co-lead by European and Chinese, partners addressing respectively the knowledge sharing and capacity building issues, the identification of appropriate CO2 capture and storage technologies and then providing recommendations and guidelines for implementation. A fifth workpackage is dedicated to the overall management of the project. To operate those workpackages and reach the above stated objectives, COACH involves 20 participants among which 12 European partners issued from public and private sectors (research, academia, industry, including 1 SME), from 5 different Member States/Associated States, as well as 8 Chinese partners among which 2 companies and 5 RTD providers.

ERC-2017-STG	Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are recently considered as new fascinating nanoporous materials. MOFs have very large surface areas, high porosities, various pore sizes/shapes, chemical functionalities and good thermal/chemical stabilities. These properties make MOFs highly promising for gas separation applications. Thousands of MOFs have been synthesized in the last decade. The large number of available MOFs creates excellent opportunities to develop energy-efficient gas separation technologies. On the other hand, it is very challenging to identify the best materials for each gas separation of interest. Considering the continuous rapid increase in the number of synthesized materials, it is practically not possible to test each MOF using purely experimental manners. Highly accurate computational methods are required to identify the most promising MOFs to direct experimental efforts, time and resources to those materials. In this project, I will build a complete MOF library and use molecular simulations to assess adsorption and diffusion properties of gas mixtures in MOFs. Results of simulations will be used to predict adsorbent and membrane properties of MOFs for scientifically and technologically important gas separation processes such as CO2/CH4 (natural gas purification), CO2/N2 (flue gas separation), CO2/H2, CH4/H2 and N2/H2 (hydrogen recovery). I will obtain the fundamental, atomic-level insights into the common features of the top-performing MOFs and establish structure-performance relations. These relations will be used as guidelines to computationally design new MOFs with outstanding separation performances for CO2 capture and H2 recovery. These new MOFs will be finally synthesized in the lab scale and tested as adsorbents and membranes under practical operating conditions for each gas separation of interest. Combining a multi-stage computational approach with experiments, this project will lead to novel, efficient gas separation technologies based on MOFs.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-StG-2015	Imagine a sustainable society where clean energy is produced from sunlight, and water is converted into hydrogen to fuel a fuel cell, which produces electric energy to power the electric motor in a car. At the same time, CO2 emissions are captured and converted to hydrocarbons that are again used as fuel or as resource for fine chemical synthesis. At the heart of this vision is heterogeneous catalysis. Hence, for it to become reality, tailored highly efficient catalyst materials are of paramount importance. The goal of this research program is therefore to establish a new experimental paradigm, which allows the detailed scrutiny of individual catalyst nanoparticles and their reaction products under application conditions.The catalytic performance of nanoparticles is directly controlled by their size, shape and chemical composition. Current studies are, however, conducted on ensembles of nanoparticles. Therefore, such studies are plagued by averaging effects, which deny access to the key details related to how size, shape and composition control catalyst performance. To eliminate this problem, we will nanofabricate a unique nanofluidic reactor device that will enable us to scrutinize catalytic processes and products at the individual catalyst nanoparticle level. In a second step, we will integrate plasmonic optical probes with the nanoreactor to be able to simultaneously monitor the dynamics of the catalyst particle state during reaction.Finally, we will apply the nanoreactor to investigate the role of the catalyst oxidation state in Fischer-Tropsch catalysis. In parallel, we will explore novel plasmon-induced hot electron-mediated reaction pathways for catalytic CO2 reduction, as part of a carbon-neutral energy cycle. We anticipate unprecedented insight into the role of catalyst particle state, size and shape in these processes. This will facilitate the development of more efficient catalyst materials in the quest for an energy-efficient and sustainable future.	none given	none given	none given

Such reactions are highly desirable in academia and industry as they allow the transformation of abundant starting materials into complex products. However, endergonic reactions are impossible by classical catalysis, since the reverse reaction to the starting materials always dominates. Nature found an amazing way to drive endergonic reduction reactions catalytically by coupling an energetically uphill reduction to a separate, energetically downhill reduction. This strategy is called electron bifurcation and has been discovered with quinone- and flavin-dependent enzymes. No artificial catalysts capable of electron bifurcation have been realised to date. In BifurCAT, I propose the design, realisation, and application of molecular electron bifurcation catalysts. The key to achieving this goal is the precise localisation of two designed, organic redox sites in close proximity. This mimics the enzymatic strategy of splitting two electrons of a medium-potential reductant into a strongly reducing electron at the expense of a second, weakly reducing electron at separate redox sites. Electron bifurcation allows using environmentally benign, abundant, organic reductants such as formic acid or ascorbic acid to drive energetically uphill one-electron reductions at the strongly reducing redox site. Currently, these reactions require super-stoichiometric, rare-earth metal reductants or constant irradiation. I propose to demonstrate the utility of this new approach by applications in reductive incorporation of carbon dioxide into organic substrates and challenging dearomatisation reactions, which both lead to highly sought-after compounds for the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and precursors to organic materials. BifurCAT has the aim to change our view on energetically “impossible” reactions and to provide a resource- and energy-conserving, alternative strategy inspired by nature.	none given	none given	none given

The intermittent supply of renewable energy hampers its efficient usage and creates a pressing need for innovative energy conversion approaches. Energy-to-fuel conversion using plasma-assisted catalytic conversion (PLAC) is highly promising for producing urgently needed fuels from greenhouse gases. In PLAC, reactants are activated in a plasma discharge, allowing for remarkable efficiencies beyond the limits of thermal catalysis. The catalyst surface defines the reaction pathway and selectivity, and is thus key in catalyst design. However, at present the active state of catalyst surfaces in plasma is unknown, limiting the impact of PLAC by inhibiting the design of dedicated plasma catalysts. In SURPLAS, I will overcome this challenge and unlock the full potential of PLAC by determining the surface reaction mechanisms of catalysts in plasma and demonstrating the rational design of plasma catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation. My expertise in surface reactions, materials design, and in situ spectroscopy forms the basis of a pioneering approach to analyzing surfaces while they are exposed to microwave plasma. My group’s unique embedding with plasma experts from industry and academia will facilitate the study of complex catalyst-plasma interactions. I will be the first to determine the active state of single-crystal surfaces and applied powder catalysts in plasma and to derive trends in selectivity and metal-support interactions in PLAC. This breakthrough in understanding will allow for the rational design of plasma catalysts, which I will validate by catalytic performance measurements.This project will revolutionize PLAC by demonstrating catalyst design based on atomic-scale understanding of surface reactions in plasma. SURPLAS will allow me to lead the way into a new era of energy conversion, at a time when urgent need for fuels meets record growth in renewable energy.	none given	none given	none given

Despite substantial advancements, however, major challenges impair CO2 electrolysis from matching its promise. Critically, steady acidification of CO2 electrolyzers during operation currently necessitates the use of iridium-based anodes. This is unacceptable from a cost and resource availability perspective. More fundamentally, while CO2 reduction to CO, formate and ethylene has become highly selective, the production of high-energy density alcohols with high selectivity has been elusive. To overcome these barriers, new scientific approaches are needed.RECALLCO2 will resolve iridium dependencies and non-selective alcohol production in CO2 electrolysis through a combination of novel electrochemical cell design and the development of molecular catalytic architectures which break existing fundamental limitations. On the system design front, I will micro manipulate reagent, ionic and water fluxes to inhibit nickel corrosion pathways which presently necessitate iridium anodes. This will be the first-ever intrinsically stable CO2 electrolyzer capable of using nickel anodes. A second pillar is the conceptualization that strong electronic-coupling of metal complexes to metal electrodes can eliminate redox-controlled reaction pathways on molecular catalysts. This counters decades of work using carbon electrodes as supports. Coupling with a metal electrode will delink electron transfers from a molecular catalyst’s oxidation states, and fundamentally change catalytic behaviour that currently restricts reactions to 2 electrons. Thus, CO2 reduction products such as methanol (6 electrons) and ethanol (12 electrons) will become viable. Utilizing this counterintuitive approach, I will push alcohol synthesis well beyond state-of-the-art selectivity and reaction rates, giving renewed promise for producing these compounds.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-2018-STG	This programme aims to convert carbon dioxide into high value hydrocarbon products using carbon neutral electrochemical methods. High value products are materials that may be used as carbon based chemical feedstocks and as synthetic fuels, reducing the ever-present demand on oil and natural gas to fulfil these needs. The project is within the remit of an international ambition to valorise carbon dioxide waste and reduce environmentally harmful greenhouse gas generation, as opposed to stopping at carbon capture and sequestration. This proposal outlines an alternative route to carbon dioxide utilisation (CDU), in which a mediated approach that decouples the electrochemical reduction from the catalytic process is explored. Novel bimetallic catalysts will be synthesised and studied, meditating electron donating solutions will be generated, and a robust and comprehensive analytical arrangement will be implemented to allow total identification and quantification of the wide range of possible products. Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction is one of the key approaches to CDU, as it has a direct pathway to carbon neutral renewable electricity. Nonetheless it is a field that has shown minimal progress in the past 30 years. A paradigm shift is necessary in the approach to electrochemical CO2 reduction, where conventional heterogeneous interfacial catalysis is limited by mass transport, passivation, and CO2 solubility. This proposal outlines the use of electron donating mediators generated separately to the catalysed chemical reduction of CO2, such that the electrolyte becomes the electrode. This opens a whole new avenue for catalyst research, and here target bimetallic catalysts that suppress side reactions and promote high value product synthesis are described.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-2018-STG	CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) holds great promise for conversion of the green-house gas carbon dioxide into chemical fuels. The absence of catalytic materials demonstrating high performance and high selectivity currently hampers practical demonstration. CO2RR is also limited by the low solubility of CO2 in the electrolyte solution and therefore electrocatalytic reactions in gas phase using gas diffusion electrodes would be preferred. 2D materials have recently emerged as a novel class of electrocatalytic materials thanks to their rich structures and electronic properties. The synthesis of novel 2D catalysts and their implementation into photocatalytic systems would be a major step towards the development of devices for storing solar energy in the form of chemical fuels. With 2D-4-CO2, I propose to: 1) develop novel class of CO2RR catalysts based on conducting 2D nanosheets and 2) demonstrate photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into chemical fuels using structure engineered gas diffusion electrodes made of 2D conducting catalysts. To reach this goal, the first objective of 2D-4-CO2 is to provide guidelines for the development of novel cutting-edge 2D catalysts towards CO2 conversion into chemical fuel. This will be possible by using a multidisciplinary approach based on 2D materials engineering, advanced methods of characterization and novel designs of gas diffusion electrodes for the reduction of CO2 in gas phase. The second objective is to develop practical photocatalytic systems using van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures for the efficient conversion of CO2 into chemical fuels. vdW heterostructures will consist in rational designs of 2D materials and 2D-like materials deposited by atomic layer deposition in order to achieve highly efficient light conversion and prolonged stability. This project will not only enable a deeper understanding of the CO2RR but it will also provide practical strategies for large-scale application of CO2RR for solar fuel production.	none given	none given	none given

Current global climate action is deeply insufficient to deliver the objectives of the Paris Agreement and containing global warming to 1.5 °C will likely require the deployment of carbon dioxide removals. However, the technologies to sequestrate and store carbon from the atmosphere are currently immature, risky, and highly questioned. Understanding the effective diffusion potential of carbon removal methods and their socioeconomic and environmental impacts is pivotal to design future climate action. The FIND project aims to ensure that negative emission technologies act as an enabler, not a barrier, of long-run sustainable development. It brings together different disciplines – namely, climate science, economics, innovation studies, climate finance, integrated assessment, and agent-based modelling – in a coherent and synergic whole. FIND is designed to provide breakthrough evidence about two crucial and under-investigated aspects of carbon removal solutions: (i) how their techno-economic paradigms evolve and relate to the broader technological landscape, and (ii) how immature and uncertain technologies can be financed to provide social value rather than speculative interest. By combing innovation, finance, and political economy into a quantitative theory of carbon removal operationalization unfolding at global scale, FIND will expand the state-of-the-art in climate-energy-economy modelling and reassess decarbonization pathways. The project will evaluate climate and non-climate policies to create robust, no-regret policy portfolios supporting a rapid and sustainable path to a net-zero society. FIND will be of high relevance for public policy and civil society, especially considering Europe’s commitment to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 while spurring green and inclusive growth.	none given	none given	none given

Catalysis engineering is the key enabling technology to drive this transition, and single-atom catalysis is an emerging new approach to catalyst design. However, major questions concerning the local structure of these systems, their reactivity, and their evolution when prepared and structurally integrated into chemical devices are elusive.This project will address these important scientific gaps, laying the foundation for a new generation of catalysts for CO2 conversion. To unveil their microscale functioning, I will study for the first time the charge transfer taking place before, during, and after reactant adsorption and surface reactivity. This will be done combining synthesis, operando characterizations, microkinetics, and theoretical methods. Then, merging microreactor technology and process intensification, I will manufacture single-atom catalysts in powder and as miniaturized thin films or foams, using new, scalable and greener methods. This will bypass current limitations in terms of efficiency and metal dispersion, and close the gap on challenges related to catalyst-reactor integration, bridging chemical and device engineering. The materials will be validated in the valorization of CO2 to derive structure-function relationships and prove major catalytic improvements under realistic conditions.Overall, this is a fundamental and interdisciplinary project with ambitious objectives and high-risk/high-gain potential, that will go beyond the traditional pillars of catalysis. The scientific outcomes will provide new perspectives in catalysis and open paths in other fields, such as materials chemistry, green synthesis, and purification science. My pioneering contributions in this field and new proof-of-concept data place me in a unique position to undertake this fundamental study.	none given	none given	none given

To improve seismic hazard evaluation in earthquake-prone regions, an understanding of earthquake nucleation and of the underlying microphysical and chemical processes is crucial. A better understanding of the processes that control earthquake nucleation is also of rapidly growing importance for mitigation of induced seismicity, caused by activities such as gas and oil production, and geological storage of CO2 or gas. The SEISMIC project is a multi-scale study aimed at understanding the parameters that control slip (in)stability in experiments and models addressing earthquake nucleation. A central question to be tackled is what controls the velocity-dependence of fault friction and hence the potential for accelerating, seismogenic slip, and on what length scales the processes operate. A novel acoustic imaging technique will be developed and applied in experiments to obtain direct information on the internal microstructural evolution of fault slip zones during deformation, and on how this evolution leads to unstable slip. The SEISMIC project will link experiments with sophisticated numerical models of grain-scale frictional processes. Using both experiments and grain scale modelling, the SEISMIC project will in turn directly test boundary element models for large scale fault slip. The coupling of experiments with grain-scale numerical models, based on in-situ imaging, will provide the first, integrated, multiscale physical basis for extrapolation and upscaling of lab friction parameters to natural conditions. Ultimately, the SEISMIC project will test and validate the resulting models for fault slip by simulating and comparing patterns of seismicity for two natural-laboratory cases: a) for the l’Aquila region of Central Italy, and b) for a reservoir-scale case study involving induced seismicity in the Netherlands.	none given	none given	none given

Genetically encoded biosensors meet this need by detecting, for example, chemicals and triggering gene expression in response. This concept is used across the life sciences to sense molecules in basic research, diagnostics and treatment. Crucially, biosensors can be used to isolate and engineer microbes that sustainably produce value-added chemicals and thus play a key role in the transition to a circular economy. However, native biosensors are mostly unfit for synthetic applications in terms of molecules and concentrations they respond to. Moreover, little is known about the relationship between biosensor sequence and resulting function, which prohibits rational biosensor engineering and enforces tedious, often unsuccessful trial-and-error approaches.I propose to build a pipeline for the rational engineering of biosensors with tailored sensory properties to overcome these limitations. Building upon an ultrahigh-throughput DNA-recording technique we have recently invented, we will generate hitherto inaccessible datasets linking over 10^8 transcriptional and translational biosensor sequences with their sensory properties and use these data to train deep learning models that infer biosensor function directly from sequence. This will enable straightforward biosensor design, which we will capitalize on to build a versatile biosensing platform to specifically detect and discriminate molecules from three metabolic compound classes with high potential for bio-based production. Finally, we will apply designed biosensors to engineer new enzymes for CO2-fixation and build dynamic metabolic controllers to obtain superior bacterial strains for the production of flavors and pharmaceuticals. Our novel, data-driven approach will break new grounds in biosensor engineering through synergies between synthetic biology and artificial intelligence paving the way to novel, sustainable bioprocesses.	none given	none given	none given

Gas-driven mineral weathering reactions not only provide nutrients essential to life but serve to regulate atmospheric CO2 concentrations and climate, and are facilitated in the unsaturated zone where reactive gases like CO2 and O2 are readily transported. Earth’s climate has experienced major fluctuations over its history, and is currently changing rapidly due to human activities. Climate change impacts the size and water content of the unsaturated zone, and therefore the rates of mineral weathering. At present, prediction of the impacts of changes in water saturation, CO2 concentration, and temperature on mineral weathering rates is hindered by an incomplete understanding of the controls on mineral weathering in the unsaturated zone. DryCO2 will elucidate the physical and chemical controls on gas-driven mineral weathering in the unsaturated zone to evaluate climate evolution over Earth’s history, to optimize engineered CO2 removal for climate change mitigation, and to forecast the impact of future anthropogenic climate change on the mineral weathering reactions that store CO2 and release nutrients. DryCO2 will comprise five work packages, and combines experimental studies at multiple scales in the laboratory and field, analysis of key field samples, and multi-scale reactive transport modelling. This multi-scale, multi-tool approach will allow DryCO2 to quantify the effects of CO2 concentration and changes in water availability on mineral weathering reactions from the mineral surface to the global scale in a comprehensive fashion.	none given	none given	none given

Although the UPOL team has achieved a number of highly valuable scientific results, particularly in the field of hybrid nanostructures for photocatalysis, it still lags behind the most prestigious research teams in the area of sustainable and green energy. In this regard, it has been shown that incorporation of transition metals co-catalysts in the form of single atoms (SAa) into photocatalysts remarkably increases their activity. However, the UPOL teams lacks this necessary expertise, which represents one of the biggest breakthroughs in the field of CO2—free sustainable energy. By contrast, the FAU, UNITS, and VSB teams are considered leaders in the field of SA-based photocatalysts, exploiting semiconductors and carbon based materials. Moreover, VSB possesses the most powerful supercomputer in Europe, which will bring insight into the still unknown properties of SAs embedded in photoactive supports and the mechanistic phenomena related to two target reactions such as photocatalytic water splitting and CO2 reduction.

Hence, researchers need to identify efficient routes towards solar fuels production. Unlike H2 evolution, CO2 photoreduction has been poorly studied. Given the scope for CO2 utilisation in a carbon-constrained future, there is an exciting opportunity to devote targeted research towards CO2 photoreduction. Photocatalysis is one route towards CO2 reduction. Yet, the design of a cost-effective, sustainable, efficient and robust photocatalyst remains a highly challenging task. PROPOSAL: I propose to merge catalysis, materials science and engineering to develop a radically new class of photocatalysts, i.e. porous boron nitride (BN)-based materials for CO2 reduction. My approach is opposite to current research trends which explore non-crystalline and non-porous materials, and aims to compete with the 40-year old benchmark in the field, TiO2. Porous BN combines key attributes for CO2 photoreduction: (i) chemical, structural and optoelectronic tunability, (ii) high porosity, (iii) semi-crystalline to amorphous nature. These features provide unique pathways towards effective sorption of reactants/products, facile band gap engineering, and enhanced surface charge transfer. Their semi-crystalline to amorphous nature may facilitate scale-up.IMPACT: I will address three major challenges:1. Creating a porous BN-based material platform with adsorptive and photocatalytic functionalities2. Adding a new dimension to photocatalyst design via porosity control3. Creating approaches to molecular- and micro-structure engineering in porous BN Realization of these advances would lead towards a ‘dream photocatalyst’ with integrated adsorptive, optoelectronic and catalytic functionalities. The impact will benefit fields for which interfacial phenomena are key: molecular separation, catalysis and drug delivery.	none given	none given	none given

Recent advances have shown that microscale chemical gradients are sustained by pore-scale chaotic flow dynamics. This fundamentally challenges the current macrodispersion paradigm that assumes that porous transport processes occurs under well-mixed microscale conditions. Using novel experimental, numerical and theoretical approaches, CHORUS will explore the origin, diversity and consequences of chaotic mixing in porous and fractured media. For this, the team will develop a new generation of imaging techniques coupling laser induced fluorescence, refractive index matching and additive manufacturing of complex and realistic porous and fractured architectures (WP1 and WP2). The CHORUS team will use these insights to develop new modelling concepts for describing scalar mixing and dispersion in microscale (WP3) and multiscale (WP4) systems. Building on these experimental, numerical and theoretical breakthroughs, CHORUS will design “smart” porous flows with porous architectures that selectively optimize mixing, dispersive or reactive properties (WP5). CHORUS will thus develop a new paradigm for transport dynamics in porous and fractured media, with far-reaching applications for the understanding, modelling and control of a range of natural and industrial processes, including contaminant transport and biogeochemical reactions in the subsurface, CO2 sequestration, membrane-less flow batteries, flow chemistry, chromatography or catalysis.	none given	none given	none given

On the other hand, CO2 is also the starting point for the production of virtually all biomass on our planet. Therefore, nature has developed sophisticated methods to fix CO2 and make it available for biochemical reactions. Of all known biological CO2 fixation pathways, the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway (WLP) is the simplest way to fix two CO2 molecules to form acetyl-CoA, the key metabolic intermediate for biomass formation. It is the only pathway directly related to energy conservation and regarded to be the be the most ancient. The Two-CO2-One project aims to gain a comprehensive structural and mechanistic understanding of CO2 fixation and energy conservation in acetogenic bacteria and methanogenic archaea. These ecologically highly relevant organisms can live under conditions of extreme energy limitation in the absence of oxygen and feed exclusively on CO2 and hydrogen. I will elucidate how these species fix CO2 and conserve energy through their WLP by using the innovative structural approach of redox-guided cryogenic electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) to study the oxygen-sensitive metalloprotein machinery of the WLP. The mechanistic insights gained will be challenged by microbiological and genetic approaches in these anaerobic, non-standard model organisms.Using autotrophic organisms that can sequester gaseous CO2 to produce biogas or ethanol from abundant waste gas resources is one way to reduce the human carbon footprint. Therefore, the Two-CO2-One project will not only lead to a deeper understanding of the unique mechanistic principles of WLP, but also provide new perspectives for developing biotechnological applications based on improved microbes that capture and sequester CO2 to produce industrially relevant chemicals and to combat human-induced climate change.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-2016-STG	Given that CO2 is a greenhouse gas, using the energy of sunlight to convert CO2 to transportation fuels (such as methanol) represents a value-added approach to the simultaneous generation of alternative fuels and environmental remediation of carbon emissions. Photoelectrochemistry has been proven to be a useful avenue for solar water splitting. CO2 reduction, however, is multi-electron in nature (e.g., 6 e- to methanol) with considerable kinetic barriers to electron transfer. It therefore requires the use of carefully designed electrode surfaces to accelerate e- transfer rates to levels that make practical sense. In addition, novel flow-cell configurations have to be designed to overcome mass transport limitations of this reaction.We are going to design and assemble nanostructured hybrid materials to be simultaneously applied as both adsorber and cathode-material to photoelectrochemically convert CO2 to valuable liquid fuels. The three main goals of this project are to (i) gain fundamental understanding of morphological-, size-, and surface functional group effects on the photoelectrochemical (PEC) behavior at the nanoscale (ii) design and synthesize new functional hybrid materials for PEC CO2 reduction, (iii) develop flow-reactors for PEC CO2 reduction. Rationally designed hybrid nanostructures of large surface area p-type semiconductors (e.g., SiC, CuMO2, or CuPbI3) and N-containing conducting polymers (e.g., polyaniline-based custom designed polymers) will be responsible for: (i) higher photocurrents due to facile charge transfer and better light absorption (ii) higher selectivity towards the formation of liquid fuels due to the adsorption of CO2 on the photocathode (iii) better stability of the photocathode. The challenges are great, but the possible rewards are enormous: performing CO2 adsorption and reduction on the same system may lead to PEC cells which can be deployed directly at the source point of CO2, which would go well beyond the state-of-the-art.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-2020-STG	When two solutions with different composition are mixed, free energy of mixing is released. This phenomenon was deeply investigated in the last decades in order to harvest the so-called salinity gradient power. One of the most incipient technology that allows to harvest this energy is the Capacitive Mixing (CapMix) and its working mechanism is based on a fluidic electrochemical cell, similar to a supercapacitor. Since this mixing phenomenon holds true for both liquids and gases, my idea is to harvest energy from anthropic CO2. The energy density stored in the CO2 emission is tremendously higher than that stored in salinity gradient and theoretically estimated as high as 1570 TWh/year. Since ions are needed in CapMix process, with CO2CAP I propose for the first time to exploit a green ionic liquid (IL), i.e. a bio-derived molten salt at room temperature, both as electrolyte and CO2 absorbing medium in a CapMix cell. The principle consists of flowing a concentrated CO2 gas stream, alternated to vacuum step, in the IL during the charging/discharging of two electrodes. The CO2 will induce an electric double layer (EDL) expansion of charges at the electrode/IL interface thereby converting the released mixing energy into electrical energy. To reach this goal, the objectives of CO2CAP are to develop novel cutting-edge carbon-based electrodes and amino acid-based IL designed to maximize the EDL of charges at the electrode/IL interface, enhancing at the same time the CO2 absorption capacity. This will be possible by using a multidisciplinary approach based on materials engineering, modelling, advanced characterization methods and novel architecture of the electrodes. The engineered materials and cell will allow to demonstrate the feasibility of this new electrochemical approach, enabling a deeper understanding of the physical and electrochemical phenomena occurring in such a complicated system, and paving the way to a new generation of CO2-free renewable energy source.	none given	none given	none given

Greece is lagging behind in the energy transition process due to a number of reasons such as:•high share of natural gas in the electricity generation mix on a permanent basis•use of fossil fuels (lignite) in high-demand periods•lack of industrial plans to exploit CO2 capture and storage technologies as well as perspectives for CO2 export in other countries•lack of geothermal energy penetration into the electricity mixGeosciences play a fundamental role in research activities tackling new energy transition themes through the use of underground resources, such as the geological storage of CO2 and hydrogen and geothermal energy.This is the foundation of TWINN2SET project. It will be implemented as a partnership between the Institute of Geoenergy of the Foundation for Research & Technology – Hellas (EL), the University of Stavanger (NO) and the IFP Energies Nouvelles (FR), in the domains of 1) Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), 2) Deep Geothermal Energy and 3) Subsurface Hydrogen Storage. The project consists of a capacity building & mentoring programme in the above three areas which will be complemented by an exploratory project focusing on Hydrogen storage in Geological formations, fostering interdisciplinary competencies at the interplay of a promising energy vector with subsurface reservoir characterisation, modelling and monitoring. The TWINN2SET project will provide a coherent network that will strengthen interactions between members of the consortium.

As the use of alternative feedstocks such as CO2 is still one of the most fundamental gaps in catalytic technologies, I believe that FunCBonds project provides an alternative vision and strategy for the preparation of pharmaceutically relevant carboxylic acid derivatives using inexpensive raw materials in a catalytic fashion. In contrast to the well-established methodology based on carbon-carbon bond formation using either ruthenium or palladium catalysts (recently awarded with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2005 and 2010, respectively), the main challenge of this project is the discovery of a non-expensive and non-toxic catalyst that allows the cleavage of C-C bonds and CO2 following the principles of the atom economy. FunCBonds will meet these challenges by offering an innovative approach that will unlock the potential of a combined functionalization of inert C-C and C-O bonds. The project will provide the necessary understanding behind the factors influencing both C-C bond cleavage and the subsequent CO2 insertion event, thus opening up new horizons in preparative organic chemistry as well as offering solutions to a social and industrial problem such as the use of CO2 as chemical feedstock.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-2016-STG	In reimagining the world’s energy future, while researchers are seeking alternative ways to produce energy, our current dependence on fossil fuels requires us to capture and store the CO2 to prevent reaching unacceptable CO2 levels in the atmosphere. In this scenario, recycling CO2 by converting it into useful chemicals, such as fuels for transportation, represents an important research area as it will eventually lead to independence from fossil fuels and petroleum. While much progress has been made, this emerging field is challenged by huge technical and scientific questions. The intrinsic thermodynamic stability of the CO2 molecule, combined with slow multi-electron transfer kinetics, makes its reduction exceedingly energetically demanding. Hy-Cat aims to develop novel material platforms to investigate different chemical paths that promote electrochemical CO2 reduction and direct product selectivity. We will synthesize hybrid materials comprising atomically defined CO2 sorbents and nanocrystalline CO2 catalysts intimately bound in a single integrated system. Three different classes of hybrids, each characterized by one specific absorption/pre-activation mechanism, will allow to investigate the effect of each mechanism on the catalyst activity. A key component of the research will be to develop synthetic schemes to access these multifunctional systems with an unprecedented level of control across multiple lengthscales. This control and the intrinsic tunability of the chosen building blocks will allow us to methodically compare structure and activity, so to determine the design principles upon which better catalysts can be made. We will argue that this understanding is required to remove the main bottlenecks towards efficient and selective catalysts to convert CO2 into useful products, such hydrocarbons. Hy-Cat is highly multidisciplinary and its scientific outcome will positively impact several other research fields in chemistry, materials science and engineering.	none given	none given	none given

The aim of the proposed project is to convert biomass in an AER (Absorption Enhanced Reforming) process to obtain a gas containing > 80 Vol.% hydrogen with tar content < 300 mg/m3 . A CO2-absorbent in the reactor bed not only removes CO2 from the product gas but also shifts the chemical equilibrium towards H2, away from CO, hydrocarbons, soot and tar. Consequently the number of required process units is minimised, which reduces cost and increases energetic efficiency. Different catalytic absorbent materials will be investigated. The combustion of charcoal formed in AER gasification provides the heat required for the regeneration of the absorbent. Using existing gasifiers and the experience with AER hydrocarbon reforming will minimise technical risk. The produced hydrogen-rich gas can be used directly or - after gas conditioning - in fuel cells and for synfuel production.

However, it is only recently that we realized how important hydrophobicity is for electrochemical interfaces. There, hydrophobic molecules are involved in key electrochemical reactions, such as water splitting and CO2 reduction for renewable energy technologies. Identifying and predicting hydrophobic solvation contributions to thermodynamics is expected to advance our comprehension of these processes, unlocking new ways to improve their efficiency. This can only be achieved through a substantial advance in theoretical understanding. The Lum-Chandler-Weeks theory that revolutionized our comprehension of hydrophobic solvation does not hold true at electrochemical interfaces. A change of paradigms is needed: first, the present theory is based on density fluctuations in the liquid bulk, but these are modulated by surface and applied potential at the interface; second, it is not only the solute size, but a combination of size/shape/position that matters at the interface. Developing a theoretical model from these new paradigms is the challenge tackled by ELECTROPHOBIC. The breakthrough will be to predict hydrophobic contributions to many electrochemical processes with my model. To start, I will focus on how hydrophobic solvation contributes to two problems that currently plague water splitting and CO2 reduction at metal-aqueous interfaces: the undesired aggregation of H2 molecules into interfacial bubbles and the selectivity toward multi-carbon products, respectively. Tremendous advances in the theoretical understanding of these reaction mechanisms and on the role of the electrode catalyst have been made by density functional theory calculations. I will couple these calculations with my model in a hybrid scheme such that surface and solvation contributions are simultaneously but separately evaluated.	none given	none given	none given

Despite the progress in the field, synthesizing a MOF currently requires tens to hundreds costly and time-consuming trial-and-error synthesis experiments because our ability to correlate the synthesis conditions with the desired MOF structure is very limited. To overcome this, we need to decode the mechanisms underlying MOF self-assembly, a highly complex non-equilibrium process covering a wide range of time- and length-scales, from the formation of the building units to nucleation and growth.In MAGNIFY, my team and I will develop a multi-scale computational methodology that will decode the mechanisms underlying MOF self-assembly and predict synthesis conditions-structure relationships. This ambitious interdisciplinary project combines state-of-the-art multi-scale modelling techniques (enhanced sampling techniques, ab initio, atomistic and coarse-graining modelling), with machine-learning approaches to data analysis (dimensionality reduction and data clustering techniques) trained on new chemical descriptors. We will develop and validate our models in tandem with synthesis experiments. We will test our methodology by applying it to two central problems in MOF rational design: (i) determining how synthesis conditions (temperature, solvent, reactants, metal-to-ligand ratio, additives) drive the resulting MOF material’s topology and point defects, as well as to (ii) tackling the very challenging task of predicting the synthesis conditions for producing brand new MOFs. This high-risk high-gain project will produce a breakthrough in the MOF field by enabling fast and resource-efficient MOF rational design and will open new research avenues in investigating the self-assembly of other materials and other complex processes happening through a large span of time- and length-scales.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-2017-STG	The continued increase in the atmospheric concentration of CO2 due to anthropogenic emissions is leading to significant changes in climate, with the industry accounting for one-third of all the energy used globally and for almost 40% of worldwide CO2 emissions. Fast actions are required to decrease the concentration of this greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, value that has currently reaching 400 ppm. Among the technological possibilities that are on the table to reduce CO2 emissions, carbon capture and storage into geological deposits is one of the main strategies that is being applied. However, the final objective of this strategy is to remove CO2 without considering the enormous potential of this molecule as a source of carbon for the production of valuable compounds. Nature has developed an effective and equilibrated mechanism to concentrate CO2 and fixate the inorganic carbon into organic material (e.g., glucose) by means of enzymatic action. Mimicking Nature and take advantage of millions of years of evolution should be considered as a basic starting point in the development of smart and highly effective processes. In addition, the use of amino-acid salts for CO2 capture is envisaged as a potential approach to recover CO2 in the form of (bi)carbonates. The project CO2LIFE presents the overall objective of developing a chemical process that converts carbon dioxide into valuable molecules using membrane technology. The strategy followed in this project is two-fold: i) CO2 membrane-based absorption-crystallization process on basis of using amino-acid salts, and ii) CO2 conversion into glucose or salts by using enzymes as catalysts supported on or retained by membranes. The final product, i.e. (bi)carbonates or glucose, has a large interest in the (bio)chemical industry, thus, new CO2 emissions are avoided and the carbon cycle is closed. This project will provide a technological solution at industrial scale for the removal and reutilization of CO2.	none given	none given	none given

As a result of this, Coal Bed Methane (CBM) is released from the coal seams and can be produced. The objective of MOVECBM is to improve the understanding of CO2 injected in coal for a long-term reliable and safe storage because CO2 release to the atmosphere can be hazardous. The risk of CO2 release is lowest for CO2 adsorbed to the coal. Therefore, ad- and desorption processes and migration of free CO2 are investigated, also for CBM. Applied laboratory work and modelling will be based on parameters of the previously investigated test site in Poland. The injection well, realised in the EC RECOPOL project, will be used to produce gas from the coal seams. This gas will consist of released CBM and C O2 that was injected. Besides investigating migration, adsorption and desorption, it also allows to test optimal storage and production regimes and optimal monitoring methodology. These monitoring techniques focus on the coal reservoir, the cap rock and the wells, but also the near surface. Research will be performed on the resolution, geometry and time-intervals of the applied monitoring techniques. The combination of monitoring and modelling is essential for predicting long-term CO2 and CH4 behaviour and, subsequently, the long-term reliability and safety. A methodology is developed where, based on field test results, models are updated and used to predict future behaviour and to optimise the storage process. The models are calibrated with field and laboratory measurements to verify CO2 and CH4 behaviour, within acceptable ranges. Monitoring and verification guidelines for site certification are derived from modelling results and compared to broadly accepted standards. It is emphasised that the storage technology developed in this project can also be applied to third countries (e.g. China, Australia, USA), where major CO2 emitters are located near large coal resources. These are optimal conditions for ECBM.				F

EU is required to reduce its CO2 emissions by 8% by 2008-2012, later deeper cuts are foreseen. CO2 underground storage is one of the few options that can meet these obligations. The present project investigates four new potential cases for CO2-reservoirs, mainly on land. It will continue reservoir simulations and study geochemical reactions to develop final-fate prediction models. This will be supported by new seismic observations. At the same time gravimetrics is introduced as a new method better suited on land. This proposal builds directly on the Thermie/5FP SACS2 project results, which involved monitoring and modelling the injection of CO2 into the Utsira Sand aquifer, at Sleipner gas field, offshore Norway.

The strategy will be to combine interdisciplinary approaches to:- investigate innovative unit processes based on partial nitrification for nitrogen recycle, autotrophic denitrification for biosulfur recovery and multienzyme-based bioreactors for CO2 valorization;- apply technologies that are novel in this field such as moving bed bioreactors, membrane biofilm reactors and enzimatic reactors- combine biological processes in to innovative treatment trains for wastewater treatment and biogas upgrading.The topic will be addressed from the point of view of circular economy by exploring the potential synergies of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur cycles in wastewater and biogas treatment trains to reduce treament costs and to te increase production of added-value products. From a methodological point of view, the project targets the improvement of existing knowledge of innovative technologies based on immobilized biocatalysts as well as the demonstration of the viability of innovative treatment trains at in-silico, lab- and pilot-scale levels. The project is interdisciplinary and intersectorial; in fact, the research teams involved include environmental and chemical engineers, biologists and bioinformatics and mathematical modellers, while the companies are complementary being specialised in reactors design and construction and in bioprocess design and control. Finally, the involvement of the industry will allow to receive feedbacks on the solutions needed from pilot case studies using real effluents and to effectively translate novel scientific outcomes into suitable technologies.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-RISE-2020	The current scientific consensus indicates that it is vital to reach zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 2050 in order to avoid a large number of negative and unprecedented impacts on our planet due to global warming, such as extreme weather events, significant sea level rise, extinction of species and loss of biodiversity, among many others. It is therefore clear that a series of parallel mitigation actions must be undertaken, among which CO2 sequestration in geological repositories plays a major role. A worldwide application of this technology can take place only if a long-term storage of CO2 is assured, which, in turn, depends on a deep understanding of the reservoir characteristics. In this context, naturally-occurring or artificial underground mechanical discontinuities (MDs) are ubiquitous features which constitute the primary reasons for possible hazards associated with CO2 injection operations. DISCO2 STORE consortium thoughtfully examines MDs, in order to provide new knowledge and tools towards a riskless CO2 injection practice. This enterprise is tackled by building an interdisciplinary and international network, gathering 12 institutions from EU and TC. It congregates 36 experienced researchers, from academic and non-academic institutions, that share their variety of research expertise by means of international secondments and promote high-level training in a topic of high social impact. In addition, 20 PhD students participate in the project, gaining knowledge and acquiring competences on this environmental hot topic, in an international and stimulating framework. The outputs of this ambitious research proposal permit a deeper understanding of the effects of MDs and contribute towards making CO2 geological sequestration operations a safer and more reachable alternative for the mitigation of the effects of global warming.	none given	none given	none given	F1

However, to date CCUS has not been developed in Europe to the extent needed if the EU is to deliver on its climate goals and support the transition to a low carbon economy. It is important that there is a renewed focus on the development of CCUS projects in Europe. In 2016 the European Commission, SET-Plan countries, and industry, outlined a Declaration of Intent for CCUS containing 10 targets for 2020, the combination of which will, if delivered, represent a material step towards commercialisation of CCUS technologies in Europe.A SET-Plan Temporary Working Group 9 was established to develop an Implementation Plan which set out eight Research & Innovation (R&I) Activities which can help to realise the 2020 CCUS targets. The Implementation Plan was approved by the European Commission in September 2017. IMPACTS9 will support delivery of the R&I activities outlined in the Implementation Plan for CCUS through the provision of coordination and support to the key public and private stakeholders that are well placed to progress the SET-Plan Implementation Plan actions in the near term. IMPACTS9 will establish sub-groups to support delivery of the R&I activities and progress CCUS. Each work package is designed to support the work of these sub-groups in delivering the R&I activities. The consortium is composed of organisations highly representative of these stakeholders and will engage with them for their active contribution in the implementation of the SET Plan.	none given	none given	none given	F1

McGEA will develop nature inspired strategies to help avert the pending climate catastrophe. We will discover, characterize, engineer and exploit metalloenzymes as potent biocatalysts to efficiently perform chemically challenging reactions of high environmental impact. Specifically, we will use metalloenzymes to tackle three burning issues that fall squarely in the remit of the EU Green Deal action plan: CO2 capture, (bio)hydrogen production, and wastewater monitoring and remediation. These challenges will be addressed using purified metalloenzymes incorporated into hybrid materials and live bacterial cells as self-regenerating catalytic metalloenzyme carriers. Implementation of these two strategies will proceed with research activities across the full pipeline of metalloenzyme development. This will include i) the assembly of the metallic co-factors, as a prerequisite for establishing protocols for efficient metalloenzyme production, ii) rational redesign, directed evolution and in silico strategies to develop enzyme variants that show improved catalytic activity and stability, and iii) the incorporation of the enzymes into matrices that allow for enzyme reusability, stabilization, or their self-assembly into multi-enzymatic nanostructures for substrate channeling. The execution of this program relies on a strong interdisciplinary and intersectoral team. The McGEA brings together 6 research groups from EU and 2 research groups from overseas, all of them internationally recognized for their scientific excellence, and 3 EU companies that will join forces to accelerate the transition to a climate-neutral Europe. The consortium is designed to provide a diverse portfolio of skills through staff secondments to achieve integration from the stages of fundamental scientific discovery to the development of metalloenzyme-based processes and prototype devices.”	none given	none given	none given

Objectives and problems to be solved: This project aims at establishing an understanding of the basic scientific phenomena of CO2-CH4 adsorption, desorption, diffusion and flow in coal seams. This is fundamental to the industry’s ability to exploit CO2 injection technology for improved methane recovery and CO2 sequestration. Laboratory isotherm measurements for single gases have demonstrated that coal can adsorb approximately twice as much CO2 by volume as methane. However, it is widely accepted by many researchers that the physical chemistry of this process has not yet been fully understood, and there remains the possibility that there are other physical processes active within the reservoir, which could alter this ratio. Latest binary gas mixtures adsorption/desorption research have confirmed that the extended Langmuir isotherm, which is commonly implemented in a number of coal bed methane simulators for modelling binary gas adsorption/desorption, does not represent this phenomena accurately. Description of the work: The objectives of the project would be achieved through experimental and theoretical work to be carried by the project partners. This work would first involve the petrographical and petrophysical characterization of European coals followed by experimental characterization of sorption and diffusion behaviour of CH4-CO2 mixtures in coal. The relative permeability of the cleat-matrix structure in coal as well as the capillary pressure and adsorption/desorption characteristics of CH4-CO2 mixtures at high pressure/high temperature environments will be studied in the laboratory. The findings of the experimental work will be used to develop a compositional simulator, which will be validated using real field data provided by the industrial partners. The simulator will be used to optimise of improved methane recovery and CO2 sequestration designs using coalfield data. Effective use of purpose built reservoir simulators, which are based on the fundamental understanding and formulation of the physical and thermodynamic processes, would enable more reliable assessment of European coal bed methane resources and the CO2 sequestration potential of coal seam reservoirs in Europe and world-wide. Expected results and exploitation plans: The project will lead to a better understanding of the phenomena of CO2 injection and retention in coal so that the fundamental mechanisms of water and CO2-CH4 sorption, diffusion and flow can be modelled under simulated reservoir conditions. The expected achievement is the development of a reliable CO2-ICBM recovery and CO2 sequestration simulator, which would incorporate the findings of this novel research. World coal resources are estimated at 25,000 billion tonnes, and the worldwide coal bed gas resource is estimated as 84-262 trillion cubic metres. The development of European technology and its indigenous coal bed methane reserves would increase our share of new, cleaner energy sources in the energy system, as well as facilitating a net reduction in global CO2 emissions. The commercial exploitation potential of the technology to be developed lies in its application worldwide, as a tool to assess improved coal bed methane recovery potential of coalfields and in their use as CO2 sinks.

The overarching goal of this project is to draw together a broad, effective and inclusive network of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) – hereafter referred to as CCUS – stakeholders to support the development of zero emission fossil fuel power plants and energy intensive industries. Supporting the coordination of diverse stakeholders – including the private and public sectors – will contribute to a common agreement on the role that CCUS technologies can play in the transition to a low-carbon economy. This proposal will support the coordination of the stakeholders’ activities through the SET-Plan CCUS European Technology Innovation Platform (ETIP). A key activity of the ETIP will be to support progress of the CCUS Research and Innovation (R&I) activities contained in the SET-Plan CCS and CCU Implementation Plan . The Implementation Plan was developed by a temporary working group and adopted by the Set Plan Steering Group on 27th September 2017. The Implementation Plan R&I activities will support delivery of the SET-Plan targets agreed for Action 9 on CCS and CCU. This proposal is to continue the ETIP ZEP activities supported through the project SESZEP funded under LCE-36-2016. The grant for this project ends on the 30th of April 2018 and so there will be a gap in the support to the ETIP stakeholders.

While industry and governments, mostly in North Western Europe, have taken on the effort of realizing large scale CCS operations, the option has started to attract the attention from the larger public as well. The degree to which the public is engaged in the development of CCS operations increases over time, both in terms of stakeholder groups participating, and in the degree to which groups are engaged involved. Important factors shaping public opinions are the trust placed in more knowledgeable stakeholders, the communication media used, and the way the information is framed. Recently, various surveys on public perceptions of CCS have been carried out to inventory current views on the option, and these have shown that among large groups of stakeholders knowledge on CCS is still limited. The overall objective of this project will therefore be to develop effective strategies to communicate in an objective manner to stakeholders and the public at large the advantages and risks of CO2 capture and storage, and to involve these parties in local decision-making on CCS projects. The focus of this proposal will be on the mechanisms that will determine and influence the attitude of the general public through the CCS lifecycle: from the policy stage, through to planning application and on to deployment. Sub-objectives of the project include: a) Provide insight into the regulatory contexts and practices in public participation in selected EU Member States, and infer relevance for participation in CCS projects; b) Unravel the factors shaping public opinion in general in so far as these may relate to CCS; c) Develop and assess participation strategies for involving the public in the vicinity of planned CCS operations; d) Develop, test and use multi-media communication materials on CCS to investigate public perceptions.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-2016-ADG	Our planet’s population will continue to grow rapidly; between 2010 and 2025 the population will grow by 1.1bn. Urbanisation and growth of the consumer class in developing countries will lead to unprecedented demands on energy. There is arguably no bigger challenge to society than ensuring the security of affordable and environmentally-sustainable energy. Hydrocarbons will provide a large proportion of the world’s energy for the foreseeable future. There is no escape from the critically low oil price worldwide. Innovation becomes important in this price environment. “Easy” oil has already been found; future supply will come from complex reservoirs requiring enhanced oil recovery (EOR). There is a massive growth in renewables technology; the EU is making steady progress towards its 2020 target. The EU renewables energy share increased from 8% to 15% in the decade to 2013. Energy supply and consumption brings with it the global issue of climate change as emissions from industry and transport increase. Inextricably linked to energy is the reduction of the global carbon footprint and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) offers the only real technology that can handle the already produced carbon dioxide.Corrosion in energy and environmental control linking to energy supply provide the underpinning rationale for this proposal. Corrosion is one of the major life-limiting factors for energy supply (oil and gas, renewables, EOR) and in environmental pollution control (CCS) and is estimated to cost 3% GDP. This proposal brings some of the most exciting experimental and modelling engineering science to create a framework for the intelligent management of corrosion. INTELLICORR will use synchrotron techniques, advanced microscopy, numerical methods and environmental/cost analysis to bring about unprecedented advances in (a) prediction and management of localised pitting corrosion and (b) novel methods for green corrosion protection using the natural corrosion product layer	none given	none given	none given

Part 1 studies the prospect of a hydrogen economy touching all aspects of the energy economy and requiring integrated analytical treatment. Existing models will be extended and radically re-designed so as to describe all possible configurations of a hydrogen economy. This will include all demand categories where fuel cells can be used as well as the different options for distributing, storing and producing hydrogen from different primary sources. The models will be used to analyse scenarios assuming favourable trajectories for the technical and economic characteristics of hydrogen related technologies (both on the demand and supply side). Special attention will be given to technology clusters where particular breakthroughs may produce cumulative effects. Technology dynamics mechanisms will be incorporated in the models to enable them to perform R&D policy simulations in a dynamic environment where an increase in R&D effort produces improvements leading to higher technology adoption and hence to further improvements through experience gained in a virtuous learning circle. Stochastic modelling will be undertaken to allow a systematic assessment of the likelihood of different paths towards a hydrogen dominated energy system. Part 2 examines to what extent policies fostering the development and deployment of hydrogen and fuel cells,CO2capture and storage,renewables and nuclear energy can contribute to lowering GHG emissions and import dependency, and to what extent appropriate policies can foster their development and subsequent deployment. The analysis uses detailedenergy-econ.-environm.(E3)models that can provide useful insights. Aiming at the most thorough analysis and the most or-bust policy responses the proposed project brings together experts on different E3 models to jointly analyse key issues on the energy policy agenda. Part 2 intends to enhance the communication .

Accelerating the upscaling and subsequent market introduction of CCUS research results and technologies is becoming thus increasingly urgent. The Horizon 2020 Programme (H2020) has contributed to the development of innovative technologies, including CCUS. The Innovation Fund Programme (IF) on the other hand, focuses on commercial demonstration of innovative low-carbon technologies. The transition from mature H2020 projects to the IF is a logical pipeline along the TRL line. Synergies between these and other EU funding programmes can contribute substantially to overcome the hurdles and de-risk large scale investments in first-of-a-kind CCUS flagship projects, but still much remains to be done in accelerating go-to-market strategies for publicly funded innovations. LEADS aims at bridging the gap from research to deployment for CCUS projects in Europe by building an innovation pipeline of promising H2020/HEU projects and supporting project owners to overcome the main bottlenecks and reach final investment decision. Building on their outstanding experience in innovation and EU programmes, as well as leveraging on their strong EU networks, LEADS partners will implement a well-designed methodology and set of measures to assess and select the most promising H2020 projects, coach them and enable them to apply to IF. LEADS methodology will be tested with six H2020 CCUS project cases. A set of reusable IF tools will be created and made available to CCUS stakeholders. Synergy mechanisms between H2020 and IF will be also created by aligning the CCUS up-scaling potential with IF targets. At LEADS project end, at least three H2020 projects are expected to have completed the full LEADS cycle and have submitted a full IF application.	none given	none given	none given

It aims to promote sharing of mitigation and adaptation strategies on a world-wide scale by involving 5 major European institutions and 6 ICPC institutions from three BRICS countries (China, India, and Brazil). The goal is to facilitate access of Europe to research and innovation carried out in emerging economies and, at the same time, to promote Europe as a pole of attraction for research and innovation on a global scale. GREAT will address four major research areas: i) climate resilient geo-infrastructure; ii) carbon-efficient geo-infrastructure; iii) carbon capture and energy extraction using conventional geo-infrastructure; and iv) geological carbon storage and deep geothermal extraction.GREAT will stimulate long-term collaboration between European and BRICS institutions via the secondment of ~50 PhD/Post-doc researchers and ~50 senior members of staff. The seconded PhD/Post-doc researchers will develop mini-projects jointly supervised by senior staff at home and host institution to ensure an effective scientific exchange. These mini-projects are integrated into the overall PhD/Post-doc activities and are anticipated to lead to a substantial number of joint publications. On the other hand, secondment of senior staff members will allow preparing joint proposals to be submitted during the 4-year period of the project. The project will fully exploit the opportunities for collaborative research jointly funded by European and ICPC councils to foster long-term cooperation between European and ICPC institutions. The project will also put in place mechanisms for sustainable networking (i.e. beyond the duration of the project) based on six-monthly virtual workshops, a Facebook portal to facilitate day-to-day interaction in particular between ESRs, and a dedicated Youtube channel for making lectures delivered by senior staff available across the continents.”	none given	none given	none given

Scientific objectives of the projects are to (i) demonstrate the feasibility of the use of electro catalytic approach to improve the selective use of energy and tune/control the catalytic performances; (ii) develop novel functionalised nanotubes and demonstrate their use in developing novel electro-catalysts materials with possible potential applications in a range of other areas such as fuel cells, sensors, microtechnology; (iii) demonstrate the use of the concept of the confinement effect in nanomaterials to promote catalytic reactions; (iv) demonstrate the feasibility of combining catalysts and membranes (electrochemically driven) to develop new process options with possible potential applications in a range of other areas such as energy and chemical syntheses. Two alternative conceptual approaches are explored. The first is based on the gas-phase conversion of CO2 to FT-like products by reaction of protons (diffusing through a proton membrane) and electrons with CO2 on metal nanoparticles located inside nanotubes in order to have a confinement of CO2 (key concept to form FT-like products). The second approach is based on the same type of electrocatalyst, but using oxygen anion (O2-) conducting membranes to continuously subtract oxygen from the reaction environment and therefore reduce directly CO2 with H2 to FT-products.

Objectives and problems to be solved: The aim is to develop a computational tool which enables full Thermo-Economic Power Plant development by integrating and optimising System Performance with Life Cycle Costs and Environmental Impact. This will provide improved economic competitiveness for the EU industry and also minimise harmful pollution on a global scale by identifying power generation system concepts that offer the biggest possible reductions in Life Cycle Costs, resource consumption and environmental impact. The project will enhance EU manufacturers potential to provide the most affordable, environmentally efficient energy systems using hydrocarbons, waste or bio-derived fuel reserves more efficiently with reduced or zero emissions characteristics. This will help systematically identification and exploitation of new products in changing markets. The tool will also be capable of improving the performance of existing systems if retrospectively applied during the re-powering of operational plant. Description of work: The work will be focused on developing a flexible software tool that can perform complete techno-economic optimisation of many advanced gas turbine cycle concepts of recognised or perceived potential. An open/flexible architecture will be developed which is capable of supporting/integrating the normally distinct activities of system performance, component design, initial cost and environmental impact analysis. The architecture will be designed to enable rapid development of power plant. A library of sub-system models for some advanced cycles will be developed. These will collectively provide a capability to model Advanced CHP cycles, Advanced recuperated gas turbine cycles, CO2 removal/sequestration cycles and Biomass/waste-to-energy cycles. The tool will include a full economic and optimisation capability, which will be applied, in a series of case studies, to minimise the Life Cycle Costs of four plant types (listed above). This should confirm the benefits of the tool. Expected Results and Exploitation Plans: This project will deliver a software tool for modelling whole cycle concepts, which can be used to identify more environmentally friendly systems with an improved overall balance of Life Cycle Costs. The optimisation of the four types of cycle (above) will be produced with the description of the models, the procedures followed and the analysis of the results. In the longer term, exploitation will be ensured through down-stream use of this tool within the partners and its distribution to other industrial players (by the software vendor involved here). The benefits/deliverables will include improved products with best available life cycle costs (minimised resource consumption, etc), more rapid identification/selection of cost competitive power system designs (therefore bring them to market sooner).

Extensive training and knowledge transfer activities will be carried out to enhance career development of the project participants. The research and innovation unites researchers with a common goal to advance biomass gasification technology by integrating CO2 capture and utilisation with multifunctional catalyst materials. Consequently, the BIOMASS-CCU consortium aims to maximize the environmental benefit of carbon emission, and enhance the economic feasibility by producing high value alkenes from CO2 using conventional and advanced non-thermal catalysis. Additionally, through the combination with energy storage and novel heat exchange approaches, energy efficiency of biomass gasification will be significantly enhanced. Extensive techno-economic and life cycle analysis will be carried out to justify the advantages of the proposed biomass gasification technology. BIOMASS-CCU will create a multi-disciplinary consortium consisting of engineers, chemists, material scientists, physicists and applied mathematicians to develop advanced biomass gasification. This project will provide an innovative and economic biomass waste gasification concept for European municipalities, energy production companies and SME’s. The EU partners plan exploitation of the technology through spin-out companies and industrial partnerships.

The general objectives comply with SP1-JTI-FCH.2010.2.3: “Development of gas purification technologies”, which is part of the application area SP1-JTI-FCH.2: “Hydrogen production & distribution”.A hybrid process should combine the very high throughput and purity of a PSA process with a membrane separation process which has lower operating costs. As a result a hybrid process is expected to increase the overall H2 recovery without sacrificing its purity. Furthermore, it provides the means for co-producing CO2 stream ready for capture and sequestration.In order to achieve this goal the following scientific and technological objectives have been identified the proposed two year project:•Optimization of the carbon membrane synthesis procedure and scale–up of their production.•Detailed characterization & generation of transport & adsorption data for the adsorbent and membrane materials•Investigate the benefits of using layered adsorbents on the PSA performance.•Simultaneous design, control and optimization of a hybrid PSA membrane separation system.•Evaluation of membrane material performance under real operating conditions.•Assembly and testing of a hybrid membrane – PSA separation system.•Investigation of the potential of generating a CO2 rich stream ready for capture.	none given	none given	none given

The gateway will form the first leg of a cross-border network, allowing multiple sources and multiple sinks.b) to make profound assessments of the substantial funding needs and available resources. c) to solicit strong actions by the partners involved (member states of the EU and other countries) with a three-step approach (Berlin model). The objectives will be ACHIEVED by acquiring commercial and legal input from various sources, such as industries, research alliances and institutes, investors and funding agencies, and engage industries capable of providing the knowledge of how to initiate the first gateway(s) of a future European CO2 transport system. This will include – knowledge gathering, involving structured intelligence processes, – outline strategies, – assessment of lead times, – scenario building, – consideration of funding synchronization issues. – assessing the economic potential(s), timing, and organisation towards the deployment of CCS within Europe, and gradually increase the deployment so that it applies to Europe as a whole, thus providing a Pan-European infrastructure for CO2 transport, – the initiation of a strict planning of the infrastructure, including the handling of specific policy issues and regulatory requirements. These objectives demonstrate a clear RELEVANCE to the H2020 Work Programme, calling for proposals for a pilot case addressing areas and challenges targeted in the competitive low-carbon energy call. This proposal pursues activities that support ‘the use of research outcomes by industry of a project resulting from synchronised funding processes by at least three Member States’, as addressed in the LCE-19 call.	none given	none given	none given	1

MSCA-RISE-2020	BIOALL falls in the topics of fighting climate change, circular economy and clean energy through the development of efficient low-cost processes for the conversion of biomass and CO2 into high added-value chemicals and fuels. The scientific objectives of the projects aim at obtaining high added value chemicals from biomass. This will be done using a subproduct of biorefinery processes, formic acid, as hydrogen source to transform two key biomass derivative molecules, succinic acid and furfural into gamma-butyrolactone and furfuryl alcohol, that can be used as building block to produce chemicals for the pharmaceutical industry. By doing so, we avoid the use of hydrogen from fossil fuels. Since, formic acid decomposition results also in CO2. we also aim at obtaining cost-effective catalysts for the so-called automethanation, a reaction in which by adding oxygen the yield to methane is enhanced and that can be used in any process to convert CO2. The study of the reactions mechanisms will be also pursued to optimize the processes and expand the knowledge in this area to be useful for related transformations. To achieve these ambitious objectives, BIOALL is composed of a solid multidisciplinary (materials science, catalysis, engineering, economics, management, environmental, social and cost life cycle assessment) and international (Spain, Germany, France, The UK, Chile, Colombia and China) consortium that holds all the scientific, economical and human resources for the successful project development. The intersectoral partnerships with 3 relevant actors in the field, will be key in assessing the objectives. The project will bring together these complementary skills to develop synergies from which a significant added value is expected concerning the progress on the topic and to develop a fruitful long-term cooperation while training researchers and approaching research to the general public.	none given	none given	none given

SPIRE-05-2016	The process industries and other crude oil consuming sectors are heavily dependent on fossil inputs for both carbon feedstock and energy, with the consequential CO2 emission problems and import dependency as a result. To be prepared for a future with significantly reduced emissions they are seeking alternative carbon sources to replace traditional fossil fuels. The objective of the CarbonNext project is to evaluate the potential use of CO2/CO and non-conventional fossil natural resources as feedstock for the process industry in Europe. The work will examine the existing and expected sources of CO2 and CO as well as non-conventional fossil natural resources such as shale gas, tar sands, coal bed methane, gas to liquid, and coal to liquid technologies.Results of the project will include the identification of value chains within processes and where industrial symbiosis can be valuable (chemistry, cement, steel, etc.). The CarbonNext project will inform, as a basis for decision-making, Europe’s SME’s, large industry and policymakers with an enhanced understanding of the impact and opportunities for new sources of carbon for the processing industry. CarbonNext will primarily focus on new sources of carbon as a feedstock and secondarily the impact on energy availability, price and emissions.The CarbonNext consortium brings together three of the leading organisations in the field of carbon dioxide/carbon monoxide utilisation. The knowledge base that each member brings is as a leader in the field and is therefore exemplary.

Supporting the coordination of diverse stakeholders – including the private and public sectors and civil society – will contribute to a common agreement on the role that CCS technologies can play in the continued transformation of the European Union (EU) to a low-carbon economy. This will enable stakeholders to contribute effectively towards the SET-Plan activities and strategy.The project will build on the existing European Technology Platform (ETP) for CCS, the Zero Emission Platform (ZEP), which was established in 2005 with 3 main goals:1) Enable CCS as a key technology for combating climate change.2) Make CCS technology commercially viable by 2020 via an EU-backed demonstration programme.3) Accelerate R&D into next-generation CCS technology and its wide deployment post-2020.Over a period of 21 months, the project would provide support to the energy stakeholders of the ZEP as it transitions to become a European Technology and Innovation Platform (ETIP). In particular, the project proposes the provision of secretariat, communications services and a contracted Chairperson to the ZEP. It would also seek to expand the ZEP membership to ensure a greater participation of energy intensive industries and EU Member States. The project would build on the existing structure, governance and operational framework of the ZEP to ensure that the organisation works most effectively and delivers robust, reliable and transparent recommendations to policy makers.	none given	none given	none given	F

The majority of the CO2 emissions within the EU originates from burning of fossil fuels. As demonst rated by an IEA forecast analysis and the WETO study, fossil fuels will continue to be the dominant source of energy, not only in the EU, but also in a global context. There are several options for CO2 reductions in the power and heat sector. The whole cha in – capture, transport, and long-term storage of CO2 – is an important component of the proposed measures to reduce CO2 emissions during the period of transition, whereby renewable energy systems replace fossil fuels as the main energy resource. Applicati on of this concept will allow a gradual evolution in the energy supply system, minimising adverse effects on the European economy and ensuring security of energy supply, whilst adhering to internationally agreed goals for C02 emissions reductions. This Spe cific Support Action, lnCA-CO2, aims at strengthening European excellence and enhancing technical competitiveness of Europe in the area of CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS), by: – Providing to European stakeholders support for the international forums such as CSLF (Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum). – Establishing international relations with international projects and programs (US, Canada, Japan, Australia) for exchanging information on past and ongoing projects, and identifying opportunities for future c o-operation. – Analysing new information on CCS and providing a coherent view on international activities for input in policy. The consortium is composed of 7 research institutes, key-players in the co-ordination of past and ongoing research projects, act ively supported by four industrial partners representing different sectors of CO2 activities.

Europe has enough gas to meet around half of its own demand for another 25 years. The public concerns of geological disaster, underground pollution, contaminated water and damage to ecosystems are the major obstacles to the shale gas revolution in Europe. Therefore, this fellowship aims to relieve the energy security and carbon emission issues in Europe by introducing a new environmental-friendly technique for shale gas exploitation combined with carbon storage process, named as pure CO2 Fracturing and Storage in Shale technique, from the fundamental science of hybrid engineering. The direct impact from this new technique estimated as for a single typical shale gas well, 30000 tons of fresh water will be saved and 150 tons of underground polluting chemicals will be prevented and a minimum of 15000 tons of CO2 will be embedded.

Electrochemical CO2 reduction (eCO2R) is one promising approach to convert CO2 into valuableproducts, but the practical realization is still limited by material and system-level challenges. On top of this, the pathway to bring CO2captured from a point source to an eCO2R site involves energy-intensive, practically difficult intermediate steps often overlooked bythe research community. The BattleCapCO2 project introduces a new pathway to fully integrate CO2 capture and CO2 reduction(CO2CR) in a unit flow reactor. This will be achieved by a unique design of bipolar membrane-electrode assemblies obtained bycoupled 3D printing and photolithography techniques. An attempt will be done to elucidate the impact of BPM interfacemorphologies and electrode surface properties on the efficiency of CO2CR. The conceptual flow reactor design allows forsimultaneous CO2 capture, in situ regeneration, and subsequent electroreduction into useful chemicals, presenting an energy efficient and cost-effective technological solution. The action will broaden the knowledge and expertise of the researcher through high-quality research training in the field ofcarbon capture and utilization, involving multidisciplinary investigation approaches and intersectoral secondments. This will allowhim to expand his professional network with leading scientists in academia and industry from across Europe and the globe, andacquire key skill sets towards professional independence. The project will provide new technological solutions with a significantimpact on the ambitious Europan green deal aiming to transform EU into a resource-efficient and competitive economy, ensuring aclimate-neutral society.	none given	none given	none given

To meet the energy demand, sustainable carbon-neutral energy sources must be exploited. Solar energy is a greatly underutilized sustainable resource. New large-scale, sustainable energy technologies are required to decrease our dependence on fossil fuels and to decrease the anthropogenic production of greenhouse gases. Technologies for the capture, conversion and storage of solar energy, specifically in the form of chemical bonds, will allow us to develop carbon-neutral energy sources.The design and development of CO2 reduction photocatalysts using Earth abundant metals is described. Our targets include the synthesis of ligands capable of absorbing light in the ultraviolet and visible range and coordination of these ligands to earth abundant metal centres, such as Fe, Ni, Mo and W. Photocatalytic testing will be carried out towards the reduction of CO2 to CO. Subsequent modification of the ligands to incorporate a phosphonate tether will allow grafting of the newly designed catalysts to semi-conducting electrode materials. Catalysis will then be carried out in a heterogeneous fashion in aqueous solution rather than in organic solvents. This will make use of water, the world’s most abundant proton source for sustainable CO2 reduction. This cathodic half-cell will then be combined with a water-oxidizing anode to form an overall photoelectrochemical cell which will make syngas (H2 and CO) from water and sunlight.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2018	The 2015 Paris Climate Agreement brought nations together to mitigate anthropogenic climate change, with the aim to keep global temperature rise below 2°C above pre-industrial levels. Artificially enhanced weathering of basalt, driven by intensified geochemical and biological processes that naturally promote the absorption of CO2, is considered as a potentially significant negative emissions technology. However, the impact of climate change and elevated greenhouse conditions on the rate and processes of basalt weathering and the role of plants in mediating this process are unconstrained. This Marie Skłodowska Curie Individual Fellowship will address this uncertainty by a multidisciplinary study on silicate weathering of basalts during the Paleocene climatic greenhouse world, using state-of-the-art botanical and geochemical proxies, tools and methods in the PALEOCARBON project. The project will focus on three main objectives: (1) Quantifying elevated Paleocene pCO2, temperature and precipitation levels using fossil leaves; (2) Constraining processes & intensity of silicate weathering and carbon drawdown potential in Paleocene basalts; (3) Quantifying elemental uptake of plants grown in high pCO2 laboratory conditions, to constrain the role of plant in mediating weathering processes. The fellow will work with and bring together Irish and international world-experts in the development and application of botany-based climatic and atmospheric proxies (prof. Jennifer McElwain), and basalt (silicate) weathering processes (prof. Frank McDermott), to accomplish the PALEOCARBON research-objectives on constraining fundamental end-member parameters that control the efficiency of (artificially) enhanced weathering as a potential negative carbon emissions technology. This prestigious fellowship will enable the fellow to attain career maturity and independence, and to become a leader in the European research community.	none given	none given	none given

The accelerated reaction of CO2 with Ca/Mg present in these FMS can result in the formation of Ca/Mg-carbonates, offering a relatively simple and low-energy pathway for CO2-abatement. This CO2-mineralization process has the capacity to directly sequestrate ~140 Mt-CO2/y globally, leading to the potential availability of ~720 Mt/y of carbonated-FMS as a by-product. The carbonated-FMS are expected to be rich in amorphous alumina-silica and Ca/Mg-carbonates: when used in combination with Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), they are expected to form a composite cement similar to the presently marketed Limestone-pozzolana-OPC cement. In this context, this study focuses on the utilization of the carbonated-FMS to produce low-carbon cement with potential CO2-avoidance of ~500 Mt-CO2/y.To maximize the cementitious reactivity, the carbonation mechanism will be studied using different types of FMS and synthetic analogues of the major Ca/Mg-rich minerals present in them. The CO2-mineralization process and environment will be optimized to maximize the cementitious reactivity of carbonated-FMS by controlling their phase compositions, microstructures, and morphologies. When introduced as supplementary cementitious material (SCM), its hydration reaction with OPC will be studied to maximize itsutilization potential. For the final mortar/concrete products containing carbonated-FMS, the environmental leaching will be studied. Moreover, pathways for the end-of-life recycling of the product will be analyzed through cradle-to-cradle scenario analyses. Finally, for easy acceptance by the practitioners, the product will be subjected to detailed life-cycle analyses and environmental impact assessments.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2020	The main objective of this project is to design stabilized space-time adaptive techniques based on Discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin (DPG) methodology for the simulation of transient Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), with special emphasis on advection-dominated- diffusion and wave propagation problems. The final goal is to apply the resulting methods to improve the seismic imaging of the Earth’s subsurface for CO2-sequestration, a long-term storage process that contributes to fight climate change and mitigate global warming. In many geophysical problems governed by PDEs, it is important to accurately approximate some specific features of the solution. Goal-oriented adaptive techniques in finite element methods are powerful tools to achieve such goals with optimal computational cost. However, due to the unstable nature of the governing equations in geophysical flows, employing stable discretization methods is crucial in these kinds of algorithms. Stabilized methods such as DPG avoid refinements in unnecessary places of the domain. In this project, we will develop methods, algorithms and a software for transient PDEs employing stable time-marching schemes based on DPG method supporting goal-oriented adaptivity. Finally, we will present the obtained results to several European oil and gas companies in order to apply our method in real world scenarios. The host has an extensive experience in geophysical applications and the Third Country (TC) host is one of the inventors of the DPG method. This set up, together with the applicant’s experience in goal-oriented adaptive algorithms for PDEs, gives the applicant the perfect environment to efficiently develop the proposed project. Moreover, the knowledge and experience acquired during the fellowship will make her a potential applicant to obtain a strong research position in Europe. The host and the TC host will also benefit from the resulting advances on the topic and the industrial collaborations derived from this project.	none given	none given	none given

Its efficiency is currently evaluated at the Hellisheidi CO2 injection site in Iceland. This pilot site is implemented in the Hengill area (SW Iceland). This field scale injection of CO2-charged waters is designed to study the feasibility of storing permanently CO2 in mafic rocks and to optimize associated industrial techniques. Prior to the injection, the microbiological initial state was characterized through regular sampling of groundwaters at various seasons since October 2008. The microbial communities have been followed all along 2 CO2 injections using cloning and pyrosequencing of the16S RNA gene. These results show a high reactivity of the microbial communities after the injection, especially involving microorganisms of the C, S, N and Fe cycles. However, the implication of the nutrient cycles has not been determined yet. Our objectives for this study are:1. To understand the microbial communities function in relation to C, S, Fe and N cycles through a metagenomics analysis.2. To study the community structure and dynamics of the biofilms adhered to the basaltic substrate, using cloning, pyrosequencing and qPCR.3. To describe the microbial-mineral interactions in relation to potential CO2 precipitation and biological C fixation. FISH, single cell genomics and SEM analyses will be performed.Besides the relevant scientific contribution of the project, the obtained results will contribute to the development of the CO2 fixation technology. The contribution of microorganisms to carbon storage has not been integrated into geochemists predictive models, nor understood.

The rapid development of CO2 mineralization technology for industrial solid wastes offers a promising solution to ENCAPSULATE CO2 while stabilizing wastes. However, unlike desirable natural silicate minerals like olivine and wollastonite, industrial solid wastes exhibit a complex and diverse composition. The efficiency of mineralization in the carbonation process can be significantly impacted by the competitiveness of impurities relative to Ca/Mg. Whereas, the correlated systematic assessments of impurities’ competitiveness remain lacking. In addition, the leachability of potentially toxic elements after mineralization has not been explored, raising significant safety concerns. ENCAPSULATE takes an interdisciplinary approach, combining the researcher’s experience in waste characterization and thermodynamic modeling with the supervisor’s expertise in interfacial geochemistry and molecular modeling to address these hitherto neglected challenges head-on. To this end, ENCAPSULATE will establish publicly available datasets and novel models to (i) estimate the impurities constraints on mineralization efficiency at the outset, (ii) propose possible strategies to reduce the environmental impacts of using carbonized products in practical applications and (iii) link CO2 emission to specific activities in industries. The outcomes will benefit EU organizations and industrial stakeholders engaged in CO2 mitigation efforts. The fellowship will be carried out at Université Grenoble Alpes (ISTerre joint research unit) and work with both academics (PSI, ESRF, CNRS, and EMPA) and industry partners (AMIII).

Although small-scale validations have shown promising results, the fracture-controlled hydraulic properties of mafic rocks are still not properly understood, which imposes significant uncertainties for industrial-scale operation. The objective of GEOMIMIC is to develop a better understanding of fluid flow and fracture-matrix interaction to improve carbon mineralization efficiency in fractured mafic reservoirs. In the outgoing phase at Georgia Institute of Technology (USA), we will develop a comprehensive taxonomy of mafic rocks, which will set the foundations for a screening framework to evaluate potential storage sites. We will also provide new fundamental knowledge on transport properties and coupled hydro-chemo-mechanical processes in fractured media using an innovative experimental setup for studying reactive fluid transport in fractured samples. We will perform complementary numerical simulations for upscaling testing results to the field spatial and temporal scales relevant to carbon mineralization. Finally, in the return phase at Universidade da Coruña (Spain), we will use for the first time a testing approach originally conceived to measure rock fracture toughness, to assess coupled chemo-mechanical phenomena.

The use of CO2 as a starting material for the chemical industry would not only relieve environmental pressures on our society, but it is also vastly abundant; with approximately 300 billion tons, CO2 is the most abundant carbon source in the Earth’s atmosphere. Therefore, a driver for investment in CO2 utilization will be the ability to maintain security in the supply of sustainable fuels and commodity chemicals that have traditionally relied on non-renewable petrochemical sources.Currently, approximately 75% of the world’s energy demand is covered by fuels, while only 25% by electricity. Photovoltaics, wind and other renewable energy sources can only cover the electricity demand. There is currently no viable solution to produce fuels on a global scale in developed nations in a post-fossil era. This ambitious and innovative project tackles the challenge to produce renewable fuels through the conversion of CO2 to SynGas (CO + H2), which can be subsequently transformed into liquid hydrocarbons through the known Fischer-Tropsch process, and it would address the three quarters of the global energy demand.Conventional heterogeneous catalysis, electrocatalysis and photocatalysis are presently the most commonly used methods of reducing CO2 to useful products. All of these techniques require an energetic input (thermal energy, electricity and light). The sun delivers solar energy to the Earth with a power of >120,000 TW, which greatly exceeds the current annual global energy consumption of ~15 TW, and is thus the most sustainable source of energy available to humanity.The ultimate goal of this project is converting CO2 to SynGas with the use of solar light as energy source. In addition, water an extremely abundant, non-toxic and sustainable resource will be used as electron and proton donor.	none given	none given	none given

Electrocatalytic materials are designed to overcome reaction bottlenecks affecting the kinetics (sluggish reaction rate), and to steer selectivity to the desired product(s). Transition metals and enzymes have been widely investigated as individual electrocatalysts. The aim of TEAMCat is to tap into the synergistic catalytic effect of metals and enzymes by designing a twinned catalyst, in the form of metal nanoparticles and enzymes co-deposited on carbon. The twinned catalysts will act as in a relay: the selected enzyme will produce in situ the substrate of the metal catalyst, thus sidestepping the rate-determining step of the latter. This cascade action is expected to accelerate the overall reaction rate. In parallel, mechanistic studies are crucial in pinpointing the molecular basis of electrocatalysis. In this respect, TEAMCat aims to investigate the reaction intermediates and products by combining electrochemistry with infrared spectroscopy. This will exploit a specific IR configuration (ATR-IR) for addressing carbon supported catalysts, developed in the Vincent group for immobilised biocatalysts, and now extended to supported metal nanoparticles. Not only will the project provide mechanistic insight, but the extension of this technique will represent significant progress in terms of the in situ study of supported electrocatalysts, such as those applied in fuel cells. The first reaction targeted by TEAMCat will be electrocatalytic nitrate reduction, which plays a key role in environmental chemistry, since electrocatalysis is a promising tool for the remediation of nitrate-laden water. After showing proof-of-concept twinned catalysis, TEAMCat will move on to investigate the catalysis of carbon dioxide reduction, aiming to make further inroads to efficient conversion of the greenhouse gas into useful hydrocarbons.	none given	none given	none given

These technologies often require significant retrofitting or integration into existing industrial processes, limiting their scalability and commercial viability. In contrast, the utilization of MOFs (Metal-Organic Frameworks) for CO2 capture has garnered significant interest due to the numerous advantages they offer compared to other materials such as high adsorption capacity, selectivity, tunability, regenerability, and potential for direct utilization, making MOFs a promising solution for efficient and effective CO2 capture. However, it is challenging to design MOF materials with extremely high CO2 capture capacity, gas selectivity, and water stability along with moderate regeneration energy as water dissociation causes hydroxyl-poisoning that impairs CO2 sorption by both high temperature and moisture exposure. Additionally, the high energy consumption during blowdown and evacuation steps for the process cycle of MOFs need to be improved to ensure long-term performance. The novelty of this work lies in its ability to strengthen the interaction between CO2 molecules and the MOF structure through an innovative dual activation method, utilizing both N and S atoms. This approach surpasses conventional single-atom activation in MOFs, resulting in enhanced binding. Furthermore, the incorporation of Lewis Base Sites (LBSs) has become increasingly popular for reducing the energy needed for MOF regeneration, consequently improving CO2 binding affinity, selectivity, and reversibility. Advanced thermal modeling will be employed to analyze the dynamic processes of CO2 adsorption/desorption, sweep gas, and dry-out sequences. This modeling considers both the mechanical and chemical properties of the synthesized MOF.	none given	none given	none given

However, redox enzymes need a source of energy (electrons) to power their important reactions. While nature employs electrons transferred from “cofactors” (e.g. NAD(P)H) to drive redox biocatalysis, industry translation requires the addition of sacrificial chemicals, which increases cost, waste, and purification, and impedes scalability. This project aims to develop a new method to power redox enzymes using mechanical energy and piezoelectric materials, establishing a unique research field in mechanoredox biocatalysis. Inspired by natural mechanotransduction, where living systems convert mechanical stimuli into electrochemical activity, I will employ mechanoredox materials to transform ubiquitous vibrational energy from the environment into a sustainable supply of electrons to power redox biocatalysis. I will demonstrate this technology by coupling scalable piezoelectric-polymer composites with formate dehydrogenase (FDH) as a model enzyme, for vibration-powered CO2 reduction. First, I will design, construct and optimise piezo-polymer beads and films that generate a mechanoredox potential matched to redox enzymes. Next, I will couple these materials with FDH to catalyse CO2 reduction using vibrations from pumping as mechanical stimulus. Two routes will be explored, namely mediated and direct energy transfer (MET and DET) from the stimulated mechanoredox materials, culminating in a platform technology for exploiting redox enzymes in industry. I will gain extensive scientific and transferable skills from the team of Prof. Anne Meyer at DTU and my industry partner Novozymes to support my career development, including enzyme production and immobilization, and commercialisation.

While renewable energy sources and electrification have successfully reduced CO2 emissions in some sectors, air transportation without available electrified alternatives and sectors like steel and cement production that inherently involve carbon oxidation in operations must proactively take measures to mitigate their carbon footprint. This entails a combination of adopting renewable fuels and employing CO2 conversion techniques. In the short to intermediate term, the renewable-powered electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR) for carbon monoxide production offers a techno-economically feasible approach. Despite extensive research efforts in this field, achieving economically compelling eCO2RR implementation has proven elusive. The primary challenges stem from catalyst performance and electrode durability. Regarding catalysts, maintaining high selectivity under commercially relevant conditions is imperative. On the electrode front, enhancing both chemical and mechanical strength is essential to reduce capital expenditure. To comprehensively address these challenges and with the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, the objective of this project is to integrate electrocatalyst design (focused on improving eCO2RR selectivity and activity) with electrode reconstruction efforts (aimed at overcoming flooding issues and enhancing the stability of the reaction interface). This integrated approach seeks to facilitate the practical implementation of eCO2RR. Furthermore, a deep understanding of the structure-activity relationship will be attained through in-situ spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. The assessment of this novel strategy within this project’s scope has the potential to guide the more rational development of practical eCO2RR implementation.	none given	none given	none given

It is encountered in a series of environmental and energy-related processes such as soil remediation, enhanced oil recovery from fractured petroleum reservoirs, geothermal processes, CO2 sequestration etc. The study and optimization of such processes requires the development of rigorous modelling tools that successfully capture the physics of the flow process at the pore scale, and the careful setup of experimental studies to verify the precision of these tools. The proposed research aims at advancing the state-of-the-art in this direction through an integrated approach combining numerical and experimental techniques. The modelling of such processes will be based on a mesoscale description of the flow field within porous materials using a thermodynamically consistent Lattice-Boltzmann model that accounts for the interfacial physics and wetting properties from first principles. The complicated structure of the porous materials will be represented by digital domains constructed using a stochastic reconstruction method that reproduces the statistical properties of real porous media. This numerical approach will be validated through a series of experiments in mechanically engineered 2D porous domains, produced according to predefined specifications using a computer controlled etching machine. An experimental apparatus for controlling and monitoring the immiscible flow process through the domains will be used for the study of the population dynamics of Non Aqueous Phase Liquid blobs (NAPL’s) in oil/water systems and the construction of relative permeability curves. The proposed approach is expected to offer significantly improved quantitative results compared to other methods commonly used in these processes that lack this amount of detail in the description of both the flow problem and the representation of the medium.	none given	none given	none given

Carbon dioxide has been proven to be a greenhouse gas (GHG), which contributes to the increase in earth’s surface temperature, ocean acidity and air toxicity, and may cause adverse climate changes. Existing scenario reveals the demand to reduce CO2 emissions by capturing it prior to emission, depositing in a suitable repository and then its utilization2. Technology already exists to capture CO2 encompassing chemical solvent absorption, physical adsorption, cryogenic fractionation, membrane separation, biological fixation as well as the O2 / CO2 combustion process3. The existing commercial CO2 capture facilities are based on the wet scrubbing process using aqueous alkanolamine solutions. It often suffers from issues with corrosion, amine degradation, and solvent losses. Therefore, there is a crucial need for new materials for efficient CO2 separation.Ionic liquids (ILs), (low-temperature molten salts) are highly versatile materials that have been explored as nonvolatile and reversible CO2 absorbents for CO2 separation because of their high CO2 solubility4. Three intrinsic properties of ILs that differentiate them from common organic solvents and water are their negligible vapor pressures, thermal stability and tunable chemistry. The CO2 solubility and selectivity can be tuned by choice of cation, anion, and substituent’s of the ionic liquids. The functionalization of polymers having ILs chemical groups led to the development of a new class of polyelectrolytes known as polymeric ionic liquids (PILs)The aromatic polyamides, commonly referred as aramids, have been particularly useful as high-performance engineering materials because of their very high thermal stabilities and specific strengths, their high degrees of stiffness, and their low densities.	none given	none given	none given

Numerical reservoir simulation (NRS) has been conventionally used to model subsurface reservoirs and employed in uncertainty analysis, optimization, and decision-making. One of the challenges associated with NRS is the computational efforts required to model complex reservoir systems. Therefore, fast proxy models are suggested for quick predictions. Although several studies have been conducted about the CO2 injection & storage (CIS) process, there still exists a research gap in developing a fast tool for monitoring and performance prediction of a safe CIS project. This research project aims to develop an open-access smart tool to predict the performance of CIS with satisfactory accuracy in the mature fields of the Norwegian Continental Shelf, considering geochemical & geomechanical (GCGM) aspects. The uncertainty parameters will be the underground rock and fluid properties, operational constraints of the CO2 injection, and GCGM parameters. The target parameters include net CO2 storage, ultimate oil recovery from miscible CO2 injection, & cumulative production of gaseous CO2. The risk of CO2 leakage through induced fractures/faults should be considered by considering the effect of GCGM parameters on CIS. The effect of GCGM parameters on such processes will be useful in CO2 leakage risk quantification, making the proxy model more realistic. Machine learning tools, such as PINN, ANN, SVR, and XGBoost, will be applied to the simulated data set to digitalize the CIS process efficiently. The developed proxy model will be validated with a synthetic truth model. Lastly, the novel proxy model will be added as a separate module to MRST – an open-access software. This integration offers researchers and industry professionals an openly accessible, fast & accurate proxy model to streamline the initial evaluation of CIS projects.	none given	none given	none given	1

We here propose to implement, validate and advance a versatile, open-source, research-grade software package to simultaneously determine relative moment tensors of clustered seismic events with minimal data requirements. The algorithm lowers the magnitude threshold for moment tensor determination, possibly by 2 to 3 magnitudes. In this way the development of the proposed software package can increase the number of moment tensors that can be resolved by a factor of 100 to 1000. With this additional knowledge, subsurface deformation can be better understood. Applications include the important de-risking of zero-carbon energy technologies such as the stimulation of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), or underground CO2 storage (CCS), where the proposed technology has the potential to contribute to detecting premature fault activation and cap-rock failure, thereby mitigating potential risk, increasing public acceptance and evading loss of investment. Other applications include the seismic source and stress analysis in a vast array of scientific research targets, for example when analyzing periods of tectonic or volcanic unrest, seismicity in underground mining, laboratory-scale acoustic emissions, or sources of chemical or nuclear explosions.	none given	none given	none given

This will be even more pronounced in the years to come if pore space is to be used to store CO2 or hydrogen in large-scale decarbonized energy solutions. Traditional modeling practices are known for high computational demand, and workflows for optimizing management strategies tend to be manual due to the complexity of the models. In this project, the goal is to develop an advanced optimization procedure that will serve as a smart decision support tool, which can be used to choose the best field development plan while handling properly the technical, economic, and environmental constraints. This tool integrates automated simulation with artificial intelligence and metaheuristic algorithms in one self-adaptive optimization framework and will provide possibilities to deal with complex optimization tasks in the development and management of reservoirs under uncertainty. The expected outcomes of this project are a new generation of solutions that can enhance and optimize the recovery of hydrocarbons and can also be customized to address complex optimization issues in natural energy resource development, CO2 sequestration and in other disciplines.The project will be performed in three steps: i) digital formulation of FDP tasks under complex constraints, ii) development of a smart solution for FDP optimization and iii) user-friendly tool for decision-making. The multidisciplinary aspects of the project include simulation, optimization and data science. The researcher will combine his previous research experience within these areas and develop new skills to perform the project.

To achieve this, the specific objectives of the project are: i) the design of new catalytic systems based on non-layered 2D metal oxides through topochemical transformation using ultrathin layer double hydroxides (LDH) precursors, ii) optimize the reaction conditions through kinetic studies, iii) establish a relationship between structure and activity to achieve a better understanding of the nature of the active site and its reaction mechanism, supported by mathematical models and theoretical studies, and iv) test and evaluate the performance of catalysts at semi-industrial scale, bridging the gap from the laboratory to a pilot plant. Innovative materials, with particular surface properties that relates to the coordination number of metal cations, defect sites, high surface area and high metal dispersion will be prepared targeting high alcohol selectivity (C1-C5) in the hydrogenation of CO2. In this direction, multifunctional catalysts containing Cu (for non-dissociative C-O bond activation), Ni (for dissociative C-O activation), and Co (for C-C coupling) will be explored.

MSCA-IF-2019	Climate change, increased energy demand, and greenhouse gases have major impacts on the environment. Following the recent International Climate Change conference in Paris, many nations have initiated measures to fulfill their agreements to reduce carbon emissions and promote renewable energy. In addition, EU Horizon 2020 has the major priority to invest funds in development of secure, clean and efficient energy methods. Currently, the most efficient way to produce the clean energy source H2 requires platinum. However, this metal is highly scarce and expensive. Carbon Dioxide conversion to synthetic fuels such as CO, formaldehyde is likewise mainly performed by expensive metals, and at high temperatures which are unsustainable. Therefore, there is a strong incentive to develop alternative, sustainable catalysts based on cheap, earth-abundant materials. In this project, we are going to use the diamonds as nano materials which can release electrons into solution upon illumination; the electrons can be used by the transition metal complexes for the production of hydrogen and to convert CO2 into valuable chemicals such as CO, formic acid. The inspiration comes here from the natures photosynthesis where the sunlight is harvested by plants to fix CO2 to valuable chemicals such as carbohydrates. Diamond is unique in its ability to produce solvated electrons directly into solution upon irradiation; these electrons are highly reducing and have capacity to activate CO2. This projects aims to improve the selectivity and efficiency of the reduction process by coupling the reducing electrons from diamond with the most effective transition metal catalysts from literature. Furthermore, this project will provide a new set of skills required for becoming an independent researcher in the highly important sustainable energy field.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2019	Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas that is significantly contributing to climate change. In tandem with advances in sequestering carbon, beneficial uses for CO2 are of high societal importance for developing a sustainable future. One attractive use of CO2 is in its conversion to energy dense fuels (green energy vectors). One such fuel is methanol, made from CO2 via hydrogenation in conjunction with a multimetallic catalyst. The current best industrial (heterogeneous) catalyst incorporates copper and zinc-oxide nanoparticles with an alumina support. A special synergy is observed between the copper (active site) and zinc (reaction promoter), but these species and their connection is poorly defined and remains debated.This project aims to isolate proximal copper and zinc centres, the fundamental building block for the construction of critical copper–zinc interfaces, within a well-defined, and highly tuneable ligand framework. Once isolated, the binding, activation and interconversion of key intermediates along the CO2 hydrogenation pathway will be meticulously analysed.Work package 1 involves the synthesis and characterisation of a series of 12 ligands that encompass a range of stereo-electronic profiles, and subsequent isolation of CuZn complexes using these ligands. Work package 2 will use the complexes to study the activation and interconversion of key intermediates along the CO2 hydrogenation pathway to gain mechanistic understanding. Finally, work package 3 will test the most active complexes as catalysts for the direct hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol.The combination of my skills (multimetallic systems) and the host groups (mechanistic studies) make achieving the project aims realistic. The knowledge harnessed from gaining deep mechanistic understanding of the synergy between copper and zinc during CO2 hydrogenation will be invaluable in developing the next generation of catalysts for methanol production, adding value to a deleterious waste streams.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2019	Wide-spread application of fossil fuels by humankind during a few past decades has resulted in increased concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in atmosphere from approximately 270 to more than 400 ppm during the past 200 years. The increased CO2 level in atmosphere causes unprecedented raise of the earth’s temperature and acidification of the oceans. Therefore, there is an urge to reduce the devastating consequences of global warming, as highlighted in the global summit on climate change (Paris Agreement) as well as the European Commission. Replacing the conventional fossil fuels with renewable sources of energy has been recognized as one of the crucial actions in this regard. Accordingly, conversion of CO2 into other carbonaceous fuels may decrease the CO2 concentration in atmosphere, while producing a renewable source of energy. Electrochemical reduction of CO2 provides high environmental compatibility and adaptability with renewable forms of energies like wind and solar. Electrochemical reduction of CO2 to fuels reverses the combustion, facilitating the storage of electricity by CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to form valued hydrocarbons and oxygenates. Despite the recent progresses in catalysts design, the complex mechanism leading to formation of a mixture of 16 different products on various surfaces is not thoroughly understood. New operando spectroscopic techniques are required to illustrate the underneath reaction mechanism through tracing the intermediates species. Accordingly, the objective of this project is to develop an operando technique by coupling surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (ESRS) with electrochemical mass spectrometry (EMS) for CO2RR mechanistic studies. The obtained insights from this study will determine the mechanism of catalytic activity in CO2RR, leading toward the rational design of new catalysts with improved activity and selectivity toward formation of C2+ products which can be directly used as fuel.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2019	The photoelectrochemical conversion of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) to energy-rich chemicals and fuels is an attractive strategy towards climate change remediation and a circular carbon economy. However, the renewable synthesis of complex organic molecules using solar power still faces several challenges for practical application. Current synthetic systems, which can reach high light absorption and charge separation efficiencies, still rely on the use of expensive materials with improvable specificity for the generated products. On the other hand, biological systems such as microbes are far superior performing complex catalytic chemistry (C-C coupling, multi-electron catalysis) with high product specificity. The synergistic combination of synthetic and biological components enables novel synthesis pathways, otherwise inaccessible abiotically, to generate useful chemicals and fuels with higher efficiency and product specificity. The proposed project aims to build a proof-of-concept microbial hybrid artificial leaf to generate ethanol and acetate via fermentation of hydrogen and carbon monoxide (syngas) produced by molecular catalysts immobilized on an artificial leaf. The molecular catalysts will be embedded in a highly porous carbon-based cathode to generate the syngas from aqueous CO2 to feed locally the bacterium Clostridium ljungdahlii within the pores, a novel approach compared to current decoupled microbial hybrid systems. The proposed artificial leaf will integrate state-of-the-art BiVO4 and perovskite components, for efficient light absorption, charge separation and water oxidation, with the cathode. This microbial leaf will be the first example of cascade catalysis where molecular catalysts and microbes will work together to produce multi-carbon products, enabling the study of abiotic-biotic interfaces key to design new materials for improved solar (bio)chemicals generation.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2018	Global warming has become one of the global concerns which is threatening all life on our planet. As the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (CO2) has been extensively released by human activities. To reduce CO2 emission, one promising strategy is to reuse CO2 for producing value-added chemicals or fuels. For this purpose, many efforts have been devoted in constructing effective catalysts for CO2 utilization. However, many problems still limit their application, such as weak CO2 binding to the catalytic centre, low efficiency and selectivity, harsh catalytic conditions, etc. To address these challenges, we decide to think out of box. By marrying supramolecular chemistry with CO2 utilization, we aim to develop new systems of supramolecular catalysis for chemofixation and electroreduction of CO2. To this end, we plan to innovatively employ cucurbit[n]uril, a kind of water-soluble macrocyclic host, to encapsulate a catalyst or a reactant within its hydrophobic nanocavity. After first guest incorporation, CO2 as a non-polar gas molecule may strongly tend to enter the residual hydrophobic space within CB[n]’s cavity. Through such enhanced CO2 binding, supramolecular catalysis for chemofixating CO2 into cyclic carbonates and electroreducing CO2 to CO fuel could be significantly promoted. High efficiency and selectivity, and mild catalytic conditions in aqueous media could be also achieved. Furthermore, the catalytic process and mechanism will be in situ studied by a nanoparticle-on-mirror technique in a subnanometer level. In this way, supramolecular catalysis for CO2 utilization could be firstly developed. This proposed project is inherently an interdisciplinary research, therefore we will work closely with colleagues from our department and Department of Physics. We do believe that this research will attract lots of interests and attentions from scientists in the frontiers of supramolecular chemistry, CO2 utilization, catalytic science, electrochemistry and nanophotonics.	none given	none given	none given

Li-CO2 batteries provide a promising strategy for direct CO2 fixation in energy storage devices with a high theoretical specific energy of 1876 Wh/kg, highlighting in effective CO2 management. A key challenge in Li-CO2 batteries is that the sluggish CO2 conversion including CO2 reduction reaction (CRR) and evolution reaction (CER) in cathode seriously deteriorates battery performance. In this project, we propose an integrated cathode design with combined pre-activator molecules and bidirectional atomic catalytic materials in cathode for improving CO2 conversion efficiency. Poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) with high CO2 affinity, good compatibility to lithium salt and wide electrochemical window, are designed with amine groups as pre-activators in cathode for achieving CO2 activation before electroreduction on catalysts. The diatomic catalysts (DACs) with highly active dual metal centres and theoretical 100% atom utilization, are screened out as bidirectional catalysts for improving CRR/CER simultaneously. Such PILs-modified DACs will be 3D printed into self-supporting integrated cathode with designed open channels and interconnected conductive skeleton, to grant enough solid products support and effective transportation of CO2, Li ion and electron in cathode. Consequently, Li-CO2 batteries with long cycle life (over 1000 cycles) and high energy density (500 Wh/kg or above) will be targeted. In combination with in situ electrochemical characterizations and DFT calculations, mechanism of CO2 conversion in designed cathode will be clarified in this project.Results from this project will inspire cathode design of Li-CO2 batteries on pre-activator and catalytic conversion beyond direct electroreduction on catalysts.

Yet, their implementation is limited because we know too little about i) how to inject the microbes to the precise location where they are needed, and once there, ii) how they behave. The subsurface is a black box. MIRO will open this box, using X-ray and electron nanotomography, to provide 3D movies of microbe – rock – fluid interactions. Nanoscale understanding is needed for predicting how to inject microbes for decontaminating aquifers and for enhancing oil recovery from reservoirs nearing the end of their productive lifetime. Researchers have already used X-ray tomography to visualize internal structures in single cells and the nanostructure of rocks.

The first scientific work package focuses on the electronic structure calculations necessary to model the adsorption of CO2 on the Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIFs) at the atomic level. The parameters for the interaction between ZIFs-CO2 and CO2-CO2 pairs will be deduced and optimised, in order to maximise the capture of CO2. These microscopic parameters will be incorporated later into the macroscopic description to investigate the dependence on pressure and temperature of the adsorption process. The second scientific work package deals with the theoretical study of CO2 scattering on a liquid-gas interface at the microscopic level. The liquid side of the interface is modelled by a monolayer of ZIFs subunits adsorbed on a gold surface. The stereodynamics of CO2 scattering on these model surfaces will be treated.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2017	Polyolefins are the most produced class of polymers every year (>130 million tons in 2015). Despite intensive research and development in this field over the past 50 years, both in academia and in industry, the synthesis of polar polyolefin copolymers remains challenging. These copolymers are highly desirable, most notably as compatibilizing agent in polymer blends. The COOLEFIN proposal is aiming to develop a sustainable alternative method to synthesise polar polyolefin from CO2/olefin and olefin/CO2/epoxide copolymerization – two challenging reactions still under explored. These new materials will reduce the use of petrochemically derived starting monomers and open a new field of sophisticated materials with unique properties. The COOLEFIN objectives are i) the synthesis and characterization of a new family of dinuclear late transition metal catalysts; ii) testing the series of catalysts for CO2/olefin and olefin/CO2/epoxide copolymerization; iii) physical characterization of the produced polymers; iv) kinetic and mechanistic studies of the polymerization reactions; v) optimization of the reactions conditions and scale up. The COOLEFIN action proposes a multidisciplinary research project on the frontier between inorganic, catalysis and materials chemistry, providing an optimum training experience and transfer of knowledge between all parties during both phases. In addition, the high impact of the study will be both of academic and industrial interest. It will put light to i) mechanism/rate of simple organometallic reactions (CO2/ethylene insertion); ii) the requirements for a good catalyst to perform these two polymerization reactions; iii) the link between the polymer micro/macrostructure and its physical properties to target specific applications. This project is a value added effort to bring two excellent polymerization concepts to the frontier of polymer catalysis research, which has never been given proper attention, despite being extremely promising.	none given	none given	none given

Among all CCU technologies, the electrochemical reduction of CO2 using renewable energy has emerged as a promising technology for converting CO2 into useful chemicals and fuels. Especially, the utilisation of CO2 via electrochemical carboxylation is a green and promising route for the synthesis of important carboxylic acids. However, the current electrocarboxylation processes have two serious challenges: first, the use of sacrificial anodes requires regular replacement of these anodes thereby limiting operational time and increasing maintenance costs, and second, the current systems need specialized and expensive membranes.ELECTROCARB aims to overcome these challenges with an innovative membraneless electrolyser concept using non-sacrificial anodes for the synthesis of adipic acid via electrocarboxylation of 1,3-butadiene with CO2. The project is multi-disciplinary as it lies at the interface between electrochemistry and electrochemical engineering, including computational fluid dynamics modelling, electrode development, cell construction, scaling up, and techno-economic analysis. ELECTROCARB will have a significant scientific and societal impact as findings from this project will play a pivotal role in the development of other green electrocarboxylation processes. Moreover, the proposed work is in line with the EU strategy for the sustainable development goals of “climate action” and thus contributes to the enhancement of EU scientific excellence.

CO2 is the ideal feedstock, being the most abundant and virtually unlimited carbon-source on Earth. Novel, highly promising biorefineries aim to utilize genetically engineered bacteria to convert renewable energies and atmospheric CO2 into fuels and chemicals. The enzyme Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) is the main responsible of CO2 fixation in the biosphere via the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle. Despite its wide distribution in the tree of Life, Rubisco is a rather inaccurate enzyme, presenting a tendency to perform an oxygenation side-reaction which results in the formation of 2-phosphoglycolate (2PG). While re-assimilation of 2PG in central metabolism results in net CO2 loss, it can serve as a precursor of glycolate, an attractive, versatile platform chemical. Here, I propose to exploit the sloppiness of Rubisco to implement a novel biorefinery for glycolate production from CO2. Ultimately, I aim to demonstrate feasible microbial synthesis glycolate, where engineered bacterial platforms synthesize this molecule directly from CO2 (as carbon source) and renewable H2 or formate (as energy source). This overarching goal will be pursued through three different, complementary objectives, including: in vivo screening of new, recently described Rubisco isoforms via ad hoc designed ‘selection strain’; in vivo directed evolution of the best performing Rubisco isoforms for improving the inherent oxygenation activity; engineering of natural (Cupriavidus necator) and synthetic (Escherichia coli) bacteria autotrophs as cell factories for this process, which will be tested in gas-controlled lab-scale reactors. Eventually, such a novel biorefinery concept will open unprecedented possibilities for the use of CO2 as feedstock for a true biobased economy.	none given	none given	none given

Among all products, ethanol (C2H5OH) has received extensive attention because it can be directly used as fuel in internal combustion engines and industrial power generation. Cu-based catalysts can efficiently promote C-C coupling toward C2+ products in CO2 RR. However, most Cu-based catalysts still show an insufficient selectivity for C2H5OH (<50 %) due to unfavorable adsorption of several oxygen-containing key intermediates, which cannot achieve its commercial value. As a frontier in materials science, single-atom motifs anchored on N-doped C support (carbon-based SACs), are widely investigated due to their maximum atom-utilization efficiency and highly metal dispersion. Especially, in the field of eCO2 RR, compared to the pure N-C, SACs exhibit an excellent CO selectivity because of the easily optimized coordination environment along with a reconstructed structure. Therefore, combining SACs with Cu-based catalysts in the proper configuration can increase the local CO concentration near Cu-based materials at a low overpotential where Cu alone would be incapable of doing the CO2-to-CO conversion. Meanwhile, the moderate electron-donating ability of SACs will further stabilize the oxygenic C2 intermediate to make the hydrogenation pathway toward C2H5OH production more favorable. As a result, the objective of this project is to design a carbon-based SACs supported Cu clusters architecture by a chemical in-situ growth process to let it serve as a high-efficient catalyst for achieving a high C2H5OH selectivity (> 75 %) at a low overpotential (< 800 mV). This project will set the scene for the fabrication of highly efficient and commercially available electrodes for the eCO2 RR to production of C2H5OH.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2020	While machine learning (ML) methods are already commonly applied in heterogeneous catalysis, the use of such methods for the design of homogeneous catalysts is a largely overlooked field. A recent proof-of-principle study showed the huge potential of ML in homogeneous catalysis by demonstrating that activation barriers in a set of related transition metal (TM) complexes can be learned. ML4Catalysis has three objectives that go far beyond this state of the art:1) Automation of quantum chemistry (QC) calculations by combining different existing computational tools in a unified framework, with the goal to create powerful high-level computational workflows in a synergistic way.2) Going beyond the accuracy of density-functional theory (DFT), which is often inaccurate for systems with multireference (MR) character like TM complexes. To this end, we will develop an ML method that is trained to predict the difference between energies at the DFT level and at a more accurate multireference level.3) A pool of entirely novel catalysts for a given reaction will be generated by using a variational autoencoder (VAE) architecture. A Gaussian Process (GP) model trained to predict key activation barriers on a subset of these complexes will be used to screen the remaining set for the most promising candidates. This approach will be applied to find novel CO2 hydrogenation catalysts, which are important for the creation of fuels and feedstock chemicals from natural resources.With its focus on catalysis and modern QC and ML methods, ML4Catalysis is highly relevant for two of the European Commission’s current priorities: “A European Green Deal” and “A Europe fit for the digital age”. The interdisciplinary project combines knowledge of the researcher on modern MR methods and the electronic structure of TM complexes with the expertise in automation, ML, and homogeneous catalysis at the host institution and will leave the researcher well-prepared for an independent career.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2020	The reduction of atmospheric CO2 is one of the most pressing challenges of our generation. Electrochemical reduction of industrial CO2 emissions is one critical goal as it would enable the direct production of readily-stored chemical fuels. Furthermore, the simple technology (mild temperature and aqueous electrolyte) would facilitate the coupling of electrochemical CO2 reduction with intermittent, renewable electricity sources. However, while there have been considerable advances in catalysts for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), particularly with oxide-derived metals, existing materials are limited by high overpotentials and/or lack of selectivity. There is still a pressing need for catalysts that are highly-active, selective (particularly to C2 products), durable and economically-viable. Theoretical and experimental studies have identified transition metal (TM) carbides and nitrides as promising electrocatalysts for the CO2RR. However, the development of these materials has been limited by the lack of control over size and morphology in existing synthetic methods. This project will use a simple and scalable new ‘nanocasting’ method to produce TM carbide and nitride electrocatalysts with high activity and durability in the CO2RR.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2018	Global warming from CO2 emissions is one of the greatest challenges facing mankind. Catalysis offers the potential to utilize CO2 as a carbon source, however improved catalysts are required. To unlock the potential of catalytic CO2 conversion, it is neccessary to observe catalysts in-action ‘in-operando’ to design improved active sites and more active/selective and energy efficient processes. Operando spectroscopy is an effective technique in investigating the reactions that take place on catalyst surface. Combining operando spectroscopy with kinetics (spectrokinetics) offers a powerful approach for studying the underlying mechanism of the reaction. This approach can enhance our understanding of the surface reactions and further elucidate the role of surface intermediates in real time of reaction. In this work, the evolution of the concentration of reactants, surface species and products will be used jointly in kinetic modelling to understand the mechanism of the reaction. In most kinetic studies, the procedure leading to a possible reaction mechanism is experiment- and time-intensive. Therefore, in this research, model-based design of experiment (MBDoE) techniques will be employed in designing a set of experiments to obtain the most informative data for development of kinetic model.Overall, this research project intends to integrate operando spectroscopy with microkinetic modelling to rational design and optimization of new efcient catalytic systems for conversion of CO2.The project aims at:1.Optimizing operando spectroscopy set-up2.Developing alternative kinetic models from microkinetic analysis3.Employing MBDoE techniques to operando spectroscopy system4.Identification of reaction mechanism and precise estimation of kinetic parameters5.Investigating the correlation of surface species with observed reactivity	none given	none given	none given

The wide range of scales at which fluid flows are governed by physical heterogeneities in porous media is a major obstacle in developing practical and accurate reactive transport models. The local mixing process governs (and may limit) the ability of reactants that are at close distance to establish direct contact and enable chemical reactions. However, continuum-scale reactive transport models typically neglect the role of mixing at the pore scale (and any other model-unresolved scales). This is partly because the precise link between a porous medium’s micro-structure and its resulting mixing behavior has not been rigorously established yet; but also due to a lack of robust, generalized models and tools to account for local mixing and its upscaled effects. The goal of MixUp is to develop a first-of-its-kind upscaled transport modeling approach for mixing and reaction, founded on the underlying micro-scale physics, that can accurately account for local mixing in granular media, and that can be readily integrated within existing continuum-scale reactive models and codes. This will be attained by taking advantage of the recent “”A Closer Look”” simulation dataset, which contains the results of high-resolution Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations of pore-scale transport and mixing in granular media columns with an unprecedentedly large domain size, and also features different degrees of grain-size variability.

Ethanol and ethylene are high-value eCO2RR products with key roles as a fuel and as a chemical building block, respectively. However, current electrocatalysts are very inefficient in producing these multi-carbon compounds. This action proposes the investigation of an exciting and highly innovative strategy in eCO2RR catalysis—based on functionalizing the catalyst surface with tailored thiol ligands—with a clear potential to overcome the mechanistic hurdles toward C2 product formation. To this end, STRATCAT-CO2 will adopt an interdisciplinary approach combining model catalysts, state-of-the-art characterization, and a close synergy between experimental and theoretical research to gain a mechanistic understanding of surface functionalization that can guide catalyst development. In addition, this action will build bridges between fundamental efforts and electrode and device engineering to achieve breakthrough performance under conditions relevant for practical implementation.

MSCA-IF-2018	Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction is a promising technology for producing carbon-neutral fuels and chemicals using renewable electricity. Unfortunately, contemporary electrocatalysts lack the activity required to make the process commercially viable. The search for electrocatalysts with superior activity has been hindered by the fact that the electrocatalyst properties required to reduce carbon dioxide have not been definitively identified. Herein, I propose to utilize the d-band structure of a transition metal electrocatalysts as a descriptor for its electrocatalytic activity. The d-band structure of transition metals normally incapable of carbon dioxide reduction will be tuned to resemble those of known electrocatalysts via the formation of strong intermetallic bonds with ionic character. These intermetallic electrocatalysts will be synthesized in a thin film format and transferred into an ultra-high vacuum system where they will be pretreated, characterized, and tested in an inert and integrated environment, enabling the systematic elucidation of the impact of d-band structure on carbon dioxide reduction activity. Following this approach, novel electrocatalysts will be discovered with superior activity to the state-of-the-art electrocatalysts. Once promising intermetallic alloys are identified, their activity will be quantified as a function of their surface atomic density via epitaxial intermetallic thin film growth on crystallographically oriented Si wafers. If undercoordinated surfaces exhibit superior electrocatalytic activity, intermetallic mass-selected nanoparticles will be synthesized and their activity quantified as a function of partizle size. Thus, the proposed research project aims to develope a fundamental understanding of the electrocatalysts properties required to reduce carbon dioxide and exploit these insights to develope superior electrocatalysts that could be immediately employed in working devices.	none given	none given	none given

A major proportion of the carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted in the atmosphere is due to anthropogenic activities and represents one of the main causes of this global problem. A possible solution is represented by carbon sequestration: CO2 is captured from power plants and injected in underground geological formations, where it dissolves into the resident fluid (brine) and can be safely stored for hundreds of years. In this frame, the properties of the rocks play a key role: after injection, CO2 follows sinuous pathways among the rock grains and spreads in a complex manner, making predictions on the long-term dynamics hard to obtain. For this reason, the identification of suitable sequestration sites and the design of the injection process is still a challenging task. Moreover, injection of CO2 takes place at depths between 1 and 3 km beneath the earth surface, which makes in-situ measurements hard to obtain: simulations and lab-scale experiments are essential. To make practical and prudent decisions about the future energy production strategies, the European Union (EU) must be able to accurately identify its carbon storage capacity. The research proposed here, “Modelling the Effect of Dispersion on convection In porous mediA (MEDIA)”, aims at improving our understanding and design capabilities of carbon storage processes in geological formations. This study will focus on the analysis and interpretation of experiments and simulations of convection in porous media. The results will be used to develop models that describe the rock properties, contributing also to improve commercial reservoir simulators. As part of MEDIA, the applicant will (1) examine the effect of dispersion via innovative experiments in bead packs, (2) quantify the effect of dispersion with state-of-art numerical pore-scale simulations, and (3) identify appropriate models of dispersion for large-scale simulations.	none given	none given	none given

Several metal surfaces are known to catalyze the electrochemical CO2RR. However, they suffer from poor selectivity and energy efficiency. Recently, this limitation has been mitigated by functionalizing metal catalysts with polymer-coatings. However, previous investigations are non-systematic. Several electrocatalysts (Au, Cu, Ag, Pt) of different morphologies (bulk electrodes, nanoparticles, foams) were combined with a variety of different polymers. This renders a general view of the polymer´s role in electrocatalysis impossible. Coordinative stabilization of intermediates is the most frequently proposed origin of the performance increase, however, local effects like pH fluctuations were never detected. This is a severe gap of knowledge considering the high pH sensitivity of electrocatalysts. Within PoCalopH, the researcher will, therefore, systematically investigate the influence of various polymer-coatings on the selectivity and efficiency of gold and copper catalysts and will correlate these effects to local pH changes. This will be realized by equipping the most efficient polymers with fluorescent pH reporters allowing for a spectroscopic pH read out. The results will be systematically compared to those obtained from non-coated electrodes. Therefore, PoCalopH will create a double benefit of polymer-coatings combining performance increase with valuable insights into local pH-effects within the coating.

The synergy of Z scheme charge transfer and frustrated Lewis pair sites will be also investigated by constructing novel BiVO4/Cs2CuBr4 and WO3/Cs2CuBr4 heterostructures containing state-of-art photocatalyst material (lead-free halide perovskite).The proposed research is an interdisciplinary proposal combining Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, and Environmental Science. It includes both training of the candidate and knowledge transfer to the host institution. The candidate’s experience in the field, the specialized supervisor, and the appropriate environment at UU along with the well-identified objectives and the achievable methodology ensure reaching the research and training objectives.

MSCA-IF-2019	Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) has increased from 278 to 415 ppm over the industrial period and has critically impacted climate change. Coupling CO2 utilisation with electrochemical energy storage devices, such as metal‐CO2 batteries, represents a promising clean strategy to deal with greenhouse gas effect and energy dilemma simultaneously. We propose to develop an aqueous Zn-CO2 battery prototype based on CO2-HCOOH conversion for high-efficiency energy storage. To achieve this goal, bifunctional Pd-based single-atom catalyst cathodes will be exploited to drive CO2 conversion with high activity and selectivity. We will then probe the reaction mechanism of catalysts by operando analytical tools together with density functional simulations. Moreover, bipolar membrane, gas diffusion electrode, and ionic liquids will be used as alternative approaches to enhance the Zn-CO2 battery performance at cell level. This project is expected to make a significant step forward in the exploitation of single-atom catalysts for CO2 conversion, and accelerate the development of emerging Zn-CO2 batteries. The project also includes a comprehensive training program to enhance the future career prospects of the fellow.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2019	Despite the progress in renewable energies, oil and gas remain the primary source of energy. Recovery from hydrocarbon reservoirs is subjected to three steps: primary, secondary and tertiary. The primary step results from the intrinsic reservoir energy; the second stage usually consists of injection of water or gas to support the pressure; and the third stage is the process of extracting the oil that cannot be recovered during the previous stages, by injecting miscible gas, thermal and chemicals. To assess the performance of implemented methods during the recovery steps, reservoir simulations are usually performed. However, these traditional simulations are known to be time-consuming, and significant number of runs is required to achieve optimal results. This project will use a combination of advanced methods including optimization, statistics and data-driven techniques, to develop a novel strategy for establishing user-friendly smart proxy models which aim at reducing significantly the run-time in reservoir simulation tasks. The project will be performed at four levels: the physical and numerical aspects of the recovery methods, sampling strategies to select runs for the proxy, learning techniques to build the proxy, and their application for optimizing recovery plans. The project has ultimate multidisciplinary aspects, including reservoir engineering, data science and environment (as CO2 storage is included in the project). The project will be carried out by the experienced researcher who worked during his PhD on the application of data-driven techniques for resolving petroleum engineering problems. The experienced researcher will collaborate with supervisors with a strong background in reservoir simulation and optimization. The transfer of knowledge from the project will have a twofold benefit, to the host institution and to the researcher. Expected results have the potential to improve the knowledge about simulation calculability using new robust approaches.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2019	Increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in our atmosphere are becoming evident and are having a tremendous effect on the global temperature rise. Growing awareness of greenhouse gas emissions has led to the implementation of chemical CO2 utilization technologies. Tri-reforming of methane (TRM) can not only produce synthesis gas (CO + H2) with desired H2/CO ratios (1.5–2.0) but can also eliminate carbon formation which is a serious problem in reforming of methane. Moreover, TRM allows converting CO2 directly from flue gases when applied in natural gas-fired power plants. However, a lack of catalysts able to operate efficiently with sufficient long-term stability hinders the development of the process. In this project, the proposed solution is to design a Ni-based mesoporous silica resistant to sintering and carbon formation and able to perform superior catalytic conversion of CO2. The synthesis of catalysts takes advantage of renewable bio-sources, zero-cost industrial waste and assistance of microwaves. The latter is applied to reduce power usage. The catalytic measurements will be performed with gas composition typical of flue gases from a natural-gas-fired power plant. The materials will be characterized by methods dedicated to examine physico-chemical features, such as XRD, N2 sorption, TPR, H2 chemisorption, TGA/DSC-MS, and XPS. The catalysts with optimal properties will be studied by steady-state isotopic transient kinetic analysis (SSITKA). Moreover, density functional theory (DFT) will be carried out to support the experiments. The understanding of possible deactivation mechanisms (carbon formation, sintering, selectivity towards side reactions) will be studied during the Secondment stay (Sorbonne Université, France). Operando XAS-XRD measurements will be performed to reveal the nature of active sites on the tri-reforming catalysts.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2014-EF	Geologic Carbon Storage (GCS) is a promising remedial activity that society can use to tackle imminent problems from increased atmospheric CO2 and climate change. The fate and transport of the stored CO2 are controlled by a storage formation’s petrophysical parameters, which evolve rapidly after the CO2 injection because of geochemical reactions. Knowing how the pore structure evolves is critical to the safe and effective implementation of GCS because it affects the sealing integrity, injectivity and storage capacity of a geologic site. How such evolution can be quantified is still unknown, because of the technological difficulties in direct observation within pores and the high computational cost required to predict such evolution based on current modelling approaches. My project will pioneer the study of GCS-related petrophysical parameter evolution by combining synchrotron based nanotomography with a highly customizable reactor network model. Tomography enables the in situ observation of the porous media’s morphological evolution that leads to petrophysical property changes. The reactor network model can significantly reduce computational costs for predicting parameter evolution. OMNICS builds on a combination of my expertise in GCS-related research and chemical reactor design with my host’s world leading nanostructure characterization facilities and cutting edge interdisciplinary research profile. Strong industry links provided by my host means that my new prediction technique will provide direct guidance for site selection, risk assessment and injection management, pushing the technological readiness level of GCS from applied research towards market relevant implementation as a technical support service. Meanwhile, the training, mentoring and support offered by my advisor, Prof. S. Stipp, will broaden my expertise, sharpen my competences and extend my research network, which will help me secure a academic position in Europe by fully realizing my potential.	none given	none given	none given

Such promising, yet underdeveloped technology needs fundamental breakthroughs in the development of efficient electrode catalysts, i.e. electrocatalysts, for CO2 reduction reaction (CO2-RR). In fact, none of the currently known catalysts has adequate efficiency.In this project, I propose to investigate well-defined ruthenium oxide (RuOx) and molybdenum sulphide (MoSx) nano catalysts for the CO2-RR. The goal is to discover new, efficient catalysts on the basis of fundamental insight. In the first phase, model RuOx and MoSx catalysts (nanoparticles, thin films) will be investigated to elucidate the physicochemical parameters that control their performance. In the second phase, synthetic strategies will be applied to enhance the catalyst activity and selectivity; these will be based on the preparation of metal substituted RuOx and on the exploitation of catalyst-support interactions.The proposed investigation is:• Timely, given the relevance attributed by the European Union and by the chemical industry to the research on CO2 re-utilization strategies that involve the integration of renewable energy sources;• Innovative. RuOx and MoSx are promising, yet largely unexplored catalysts for the CO2-RR. The strategies devised to enhance their performance are radically different from what has been proposed so far.• Expected to provide high impact. The structure-activity descriptors identified through this study will open new perspectives for the design of efficient catalysts via controlled synthetic processes. The research methodology is based on the synthesis of well-defined catalysts coupled with a multi-analytical characterization approach. As such, it is ideal to achieve the objectives and it will provide new knowledge for the researcher.

Compared with Portland cement, reactive magnesia cement (RMC) has the potential advantage of higher CO2 sequestration during early age curing and its service life. Still, the inadequate carbonation depth limits its application. Another approach to reducing carbon emissions is recycling and reusing components in construction. The key to realizing component reuse and concrete material recycling is the proper demountable connection. However, the sudden slippage and labor-consuming problems of bolts were reported and might hinder the popularity of reusable structures.Therefore, this project will introduce hollow natural fibers (HNFs) with large lumens to enhance CO2 penetration and overcome the carbonation depth limitation. The participants will co-develop a mix design of HNF-reinforced RMC-based concrete that achieves a compressive strength of 50 MPa and a one-way carbonation depth of 60 mm. Besides, a novel demountable bolt-wedge system for dowel-based connectors will be proposed to realize excellent mechanical behavior and efficient construction of CCU composite structures. The shear behavior of the demountable connectors with the bolt-wedge system will be investigated by conducting push-out tests and finite element modelling.For the scientific community, the mix design will provide a solution for CCU structures, and the bolt-wedge system may initiate new research on prefabricated and reusable structures. Regarding societal and economic impacts, the proposed CCU composite structure could reduce emissions by CO2 sequestration and lower the net costs of reducing emissions due to the enormous scale of infrastructure. Reusing structural elements after their first design can decrease construction time and material costs.

The starting point of the project is the newly-released OC22 oxide data set (from Meta FAIR and Ulissi’s group) comprising approximately 50k adsorption energies of relevant molecules on multi-component oxide surfaces spanning 52 elements of the periodic table. State-of-the-art machine learning models (e.g., Gaussian process regression, and graph neural networks), will be applied for the prediction of relevant adsorption energies not included in the sparsely labeled OC22 dataset. New density-functional theory (DFT) calculations will target the adsorption energy of molecules not considered in the data set and activation energies of the elementary reactions of the CO2 hydrogenation paths. The catalytic performances (i.e., activity and selectivity) of the oxide surfaces in OC22 will be evaluated through microkinetic modeling. Active learning will be applied to iteratively improve the model predictions with additional DFT calculations targeting the parameters selected with sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification. The overarching goal of the DAMOCLES project is to understand the effects of the structure and composition of the catalyst surface in the processes of CO2 hydrogenation and identify new promising catalytic materials. This insight can guide experimental researchers in the synthesis of oxide materials with improved catalytic performances, thus helping the development of economically sustainable processes for the transformation of waste CO2 into useful chemicals and fuels.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2018	Solute transport in unsaturated porous media plays a crucial role in environmental processes affecting soils, aquifers, and carbon capture and storage operations. Natural porous media are characterized by various degrees of structural heterogeneity in the pore size distribution, spatial arrangements and spatial correlations. The impact of this pore-scale heterogeneity on the spreading of a solute plume, its mixing with other solutes, and the resulting reaction rates, is not well understood for unsaturated flow. Since these processes take place at pore scale, direct pore scale experimental measurements are needed to gain comprehensive understanding of them. The aim of UnsatPorMix is thus to elucidate the impact of structural pore-scale heterogeneity on solute spreading/mixing and reaction rates during unsaturated flow, through the combination of micromodel experiments and numerical model simulations. In the first stage of UnsatPorMix, experiments in micromodels with varying degrees of heterogeneity will provide unprecedented results on the phenomenology of pore-scale mechanisms and their effect on solute spreading and mixing. In the second stage, the experimental measurements of phase distribution and solute concentrations, combined to numerically-computed pore scale velocities, will be used to design and validate a pore-scale model for solute transport in these porous media. This model will allow obtaining a large representative numerical data set, enabling statistical analysis and the derivation of quantitative relations between structural heterogeneity and solute transport/mixing. UnsatPorMix will make a significant contribution to the modelling of, and risk assessment for, the various subsurface phenomena and applications cited above. During UnsatPorMix, the applicant will acquire a set of invaluable experimental skills and modeling expertise which will enable him to become an independent researcher and expert in flow and transport in unsaturated porous media.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2017	In a waste-to-value perspective, CO2 can represent a sustainable carbon source to produce light olefins, representing key building blocks for petrochemical industry. CASCADE-X proposes an ultimate approach to directly convert CO2 to light olefins through cascade reactions over a bi-functional catalyst, obtained by molecular scale integration of an active metal alloy for the CO2-to-methanol reaction onto a zeotype catalyst for selective methanol-to-olefins conversion. Such a single-reactor cascade approach enables a simplified process scheme while overcoming the thermodynamic restrictions of the methanol synthesis by its sequential conversion. The action will generate fundamental knowledge on properties-performances relationships for the combined system, providing a rational for the optimization of catalyst and process conditions, as well as an improved understanding of key fundamental issues in both hydrogenation and methanol-to-olefins chemistry (restructuring, deactivation mechanisms, confinement effects). These goals will be pursued by an ‘all-X-ray’ approach, synergizing in situ and operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy and diffraction/scattering at the laboratory and large-scale facility level in combination with complementary physico-chemical methods, to identify activity/selectivity/stability descriptors for the bifunctional catalyst. Multi-modal synchrotron nano-mapping of individual catalyst particles will elucidate the space-resolved dynamics of restructuring and deactivation phenomena. Integrating the applicant’s experience in X-ray spectroscopy, the Host’s excellence in structural analysis, testing and rational optimization of zeotype catalysts, as well as the industrial know-how of the private sector partner (a leading Company in recycling and manufacturing precious metal catalysts, where a Secondment is planned), CASCADE-X provides a unique platform to diversify the proponent’s individual competences and to promote trans-sectoral knowledge transfer.	none given	none given	none given

To do this, it is necessary to go beyond the reduction of CO2 to one-carbon products such as carbon monoxide, and advance to multi-carbon ‘C2+ products’ including ethylene, ethanol and oxalate. These higher value chemicals are essential in materials manufacturing and fine chemical synthesis but are challenging to form, due to a difficult C–C coupling step which is not well understood in the state-of-the-art catalysts currently available. Inspired by the binuclear enzyme active sites found in nature, this project’s novel approach is to harness the cooperative reactivity of two metal sites, using molecular bimetallic electrocatalysts to promote C2+ product formation. Through a combination of electrochemistry, theory and complementary spectroscopic techniques, the poorly understood mechanisms of C–C bond formation will be elucidated at well defined molecular metal centres. The outcome of this project will be greater understanding of the pathways to C2+ products at two sites. This will lead to the future development of efficient catalysts for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to valuable chemical feedstocks.

Storing CO2 in deep geological formations is the main mitigation measure currently available. ExpeCO2SolTrap addresses solubility trapping (ST), a trapping mechanism of CO2 in dissolved form within the resident brine of the subsurface porous medium, which allows storing CO2 perennially by gravity. ST has been studied extensively in the last 10 years. But numerical studies cannot account for the pore scale heterogeneity of the flow, while most experiments cannot provide a full measurement of the system’ evolution (in particular its dissolution flux). Recent ground-breaking experiments by the host group and secondmend group of ExpeCO2SolTrap have shown that the growth of the instability is orders of magnitude faster than that predicted by a Darcy scale numerical simulation of the experimental process, due to coupling beween the gravitatitional instability and the heterogeneity of pore scale flow. This effect has been hitherto ignored in the literature. Furthermore, the impact of Darcy scale heterogeneity has hardly been studied, in particular not experimentally. ExpeCO2SolTrap proposes to (i) extend the experiments developed in the host group and secondment group to allow for pore scale measurement of fluid velocities three-dimensional (3D) granular porous media, in order to fully understand the aforementioned coupling, and (ii) to study the impact of Darcy scale (e.g., permeability/porosity) heterogeneity of the medium experimentally in granular porous media as well as in 3D-printed porous media of controlled heterogeneity. Two experiments, both relying on refractive index matching of the flowing liquid to the solid phase, but using respectively analogue fluids and dissolved CO2, will be used in parallel. Pore scale concentration fields will be measured by laser-induced fluorescence and scanning by laser sheets, while fluid velocities will be measured by stereo-PIV.	none given	none given	none given

The most eco-friendly solutions to tackle global energy and sustainability challenges are electrocatalytic (ECR) and photocatalytic (PCR) CO2 reduction into valuable products. Among the CO2 reduction products, formic acid (HCOOH) has diverse applications as a chemical feedstock, hydrogen storage material, methanol intermediate and fuel cell component. Despite advances in the field, there are still unresolved challenges related to slow electron kinetics, unfavourable product selectivity, and high operating cost. In this respect, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have unique performance due to maximum atom efficiency, unsaturated metal coordination, and the confinement effect, making them a promising solution. However, the efficiency and selectivity of SACs for ECR and PCR to HCOOH are still experimentally scarce. Therefore, tuning the electronic structure of SAC through their immobilization on 2D nanosheets is crucial for designing new catalysts. Accordingly, I plan to prepare novel non-noble metal SA-functionalized MXene-metal-organic polyhedral (MOP) assemblies to replace the state-of-the-art catalysts for efficient CO2 reduction to HCOOH. SA-MXenes can improve electron transport and CO2 capture during ECR and PCR. However, self-stacking of SA-MXene can limit electrolyte access and reduce active site utilization. MOP acts as a spacer to increase porosity and prevent restacking. SA-MXene-MOP, with ligands coordinated SA center will act as a photocatalyst. To ensure the successful implementation of project goals, I will conduct research at IEMN (CNRS & University of Lille) under Dr. Boukherroub’s guidance. I expect the research findings will elicit noteworthy attention from academic laboratories across Europe and worldwide.

After a decade of steady development, the available library of 2D crystals is highly rich including graphene derivatives, hexagonal boron nitride, many chalcogenides and various oxides. However, the technological advances and urgent environmental and sustainable energy issues such as CO2 capture and separation, energy storage and conversion (photovoltatic system, supercapacitor etc) call for advanced materials with not only properties of individual layers but also new functionalities. Particularly, researches on superstructures with unique properties such as amphiphilicity still remain blank. Physically, it is now possible to create such hybrid superstructures by placing different 2D crystals on top of each other in a designed sequence; while engineering the 2D units through a chemical way endows a high flexibility in surface chemistry tailoring and increase the mechanical stability due to the strongly bonded interface. Taking these into consideration, here we propose a combined chemical-physical pathway to engineer task-specific, mechanically freestanding superstructures based on 2D atomic planes in a simple and scalable manner. Three new material concepts are proposed including amphiphilic superstructure (hydrophilic outer layer and hydrophobic inner layer), gas selective superstructure (CO2-phililc outer layer and gas shape selective inner layer) and flexible superstructure with outer layer functionalized with metal oxide nanoparticles confined in ordered mesopores and inner conductive graphene.

Moreover, by integrating PET oxidation, it aims to overcome the substantial overpotential loss associated with conventional oxygen evolution reactions at photoanode, making the process more efficient. Therefore, Solar-to-Value (SolVa) missions to develop a co-planar photocathode-photoanode architecture based on halide perovskites, creating an interdisciplinary solution for an efficient PEC CO2R-PET oxidation system. To facilitate these processes, advanced and selective electrocatalysts: Fe and Cu single atoms on N-doped carbon catalysts for CO2 reduction and NiFe-based catalysts for PET oxidation, will be integrated into the photocathode and photoanode, respectively. To ensure the stability of the perovskite-based photoelectrodes, protective layers of ITO will be deposited, preventing direct contact of thin-films with the electrolyte. The successful realization of this project holds the promise of developing standalone monolithic PEC cells for CO2R-PET oxidation. This can also extend the anodic recycling process to PV modules/spent Li-ion batteries and integrate it with cathodic CO2R through proper modifications of electrocatalysts and electrolytes. SolVa addresses two pressing global issues in a single innovative system, ultimately promoting a sustainable and circular economy.	none given	none given	none given

This process can break the thermodynamic restriction that exists for methanol synthesis from CO2 and improve the conversion of main greenhouse gas.The synthesis of well-controlled shapes of solid materials in nano-size using ionic liquid (IL) solvents has received tremendous attention by taking advantage of their extraordinary properties. However, the remarkably high viscosity, which makes dispersing the support into the IL a major challenge, has limited their usage to the synthesis of un-supported nanoparticles. As an MSCA fellow, I will receive crucial training at KU Leuven and will work on developing a novel process for the synthesis of supported non-precious metal catalyst using IL. I will synthesize two generations of supported catalysts using novel synthesis procedures. I will produce the one-pot generation (OPG) catalyst by one-pot synthesis of support (zeolite) and metal oxide, whereas the well-structured generation (WSG) catalyst will be made by synthesizing zeolite using the IL as a co-solvent. For the OPG catalyst, both support and metal oxide will be synthesized simultaneously, while for the WSG catalyst, the IL that is used in zeolite synthesis will be re-used to engineer the metal oxide shape. Interestingly, to date the structure sensitivity of the CO2 hydrogenation to methanol and its coupling to DME has not been investigated. I will implement the new catalyst methodology to enhance the catalytic activity and selectivity of CO2 conversion to produce DME and establish synthesis-structure-activity relations.	none given	none given	none given

Among others, GCC induces extreme weather events, producing an extensive impact on natural and agricultural systems. Climate change mitigation requires an urgent decrease in CO2 emissions together with active CO2 removal from the atmosphere. Enhanced silicate weathering (ESW) is a promising negative emission technology for CO2 removal but requires further research. ESW accelerates the natural process of weathering-based silicate to carbonate transformation, by increasing the surface area of silicate rocks. During the weathering process, CO2 is sequestered. Agricultural fields are ideal for ESW, due to ease of access, equipment availability and infrastructural capacity. In an agricultural setting, this application can be further beneficial as the silicate rocks like basalt contains elements that promote plant growth and soil health. In addition, GCC endangers crop production by inducing drought and salinity. Approximately 75% of the cropland is subjected to drought-related yield loss while salinity affects around 50-80% of global croplands. Moreover, impacts of drought and salinity are anticipated to rise in the future due to GCC. The negative effects of drought and salinity can be countered by ESW through (i) the preservation of crop yield and quality by the silicon (Si) mediated drought and salt stress tolerance in plants and (ii) the protection of soil microbiota by the stabilization of soil chemistry. Although ESW could contribute to climate change adaptation in agriculture, these promising co-benefits were never assessed, and further research is needed to evaluate this potential in different agricultural settings. In project CORES, I aim to examine the potential of ESW, with silicate mineral basalt, for the protection of yield and quality of major crop maize and associated soil microbiota under drought and saline conditions and establish the groundwork for future field trials.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2018	In the light of rising levels of atmospheric CO2 and associated climate change, the development of advanced techniques for CO2 conversion is of foremost importance. Particularly, many efforts have been made recently to synthesize efficient electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction to carbon fuels using renewable electricity. Nevertheless, to meet the requirement of industrial implementation, even the best performance of these recently developed electrocatalysts must be increased by one order of magnitude. Currently, energy efficiency of CO2 electroreduction is limited by energy-loss in catholyte and transport of CO2 to the cathode surface. The importance of transport limitations will grow as currents approach the higher levels required for industry. The vision for this work is the design of an efficient catholyte-free electrode structure and reactor, in combination with state-of-the-art photovoltaic, that can provide for the industry-ready artificial photosynthesis of carbon fuels. To achieve this goal, we will be dedicated to develop a membrane electrode assembly cell with the design of a catholyte-free flow-through-porous electrode which will allow the incorporation of newly types of nanostructured electrocatalysts and efficient CO2 transfer and conversion into specific carbon fuels such as ethylene or ethanol. Particularly, the proposed research aims include: (i) Development of efficient electrocatalysts that allow the formation of ideal products (ethylene/ethanol); (ii) Enhancement of electrocatalytic activity and stability via system engineering; (iii) Understanding the fundamentals of CO2 electroreduction and cell mechanics to accelerate the development of catholyte-free flow-through-porous electrode for the design of a scalable, high-performance CO2 electroconversion cell through both experiments and theoretical modeling; (iv) Achieving the scalable solar fuels production with CO2 reduction and photovoltaic in tandem.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2020	The main objective of this proposal is to optimize the enzyme-electrode interface to achieve efficient bioelectrochemical carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction by formate dehydrogenase (FDH). To achieve the overall goal of the proposed project, the specific objectives are: 1) Incorporation of an unnatural amino acid (UAA) to Molybdenum-containing FDH (Mo-FDH) such that the enzyme can be specifically and covalently attached to electrode surfaces with controlled orientation for improved electron transfer (ET) 2) Tailoring the bio-interface between electrodes and FDH H for facile electrocatalysis by direct ET (DET) or mediated ET (MET). This includes the design electrode surface with pyrene moieties/mediator for directing orientation of biocatalysts on electrode surfaces. 3) Bioelectrosynthetic CO2 capture with electrochemical systems exploiting UAA-FDH H. For this, the prepared UAA containing Mo-FDH based biocathodes will be coupled with a hydrogenase bioanode to provide a complete enzymatic biofuel cell (EBFC) producing formate (HCOO− )and simultaneously producing electrical energy from molecular hydrogen (H2) and CO2. The project will be conducted in 3 work packages associated with research objectives. An UAA will be introduced to FDH H for the first time, yielding an approach for site-specific functionalization of complex metalloenzymes with this project. The proposed technology is highly attractive because it presents a promising solution to tackle global climate issues and energy concerns by providing improved green conversion of CO2 to chemical fuels. This project will be undertaken within the group of Professor Ross Milton (University of Geneva, Switzerland) and a secondment of two months is planned with Prof. Jason Chin (MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK) in order to develop skills in UAA incorporation.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2018	With an expanding population and finite fossil fuel resources, society faces several major challenges regarding energy and the environment. SURFCAT seeks to address these issues by making advances in the electrochemical carbon-dioxide reduction-reaction (CO2RR), which converts carbon dioxide into hydrocarbon fuels using renewable electrical energy. Whilst copper is the only metal able to produce hydrocarbons in the CO2RR, modifications to pure, bulk copper are required in order to bypass its intrinsic limitations. Copper nanocrystals (CuNCs) offer enhanced activity and selectivity for single products in the CO2RR, yet there is a need to improve these materials further. SURFCAT strives to take advantage of surface modification in order to deliver these improvements. SURFCAT will go beyond the state-of-the-art by modifying the surfaces of CuNCs with functional organic ligands. The objectives of the research will be to: 1) synthesise new organic molecules, judiciously designed to influence favourable interactions between the CuNCs and carbon dioxide; 2) synthesise hybrid CuNCs, consisting of a metallic, nanocrystalline core and a functional ligand shell; 3) study and optimise the electrocatalytic performance of these novel materials; and 4) use spectroscopy and computational modelling to understand their mode of action and offer insight into the role of functional ligands on catalyst surfaces. These objectives will be achieved by combining the applicant’s expertise in steering catalysis through ligand design with the host laboratory’s expertise in nanocrystal synthesis and electrocatalysis. SURFCAT is perfectly aligned with the MSCA Work Programme, combining unique skills and knowledge from both the applicant and the host laboratory. Through training during his time at EPFL, the applicant will develop professional, language and teaching skills on top of his research efforts, in order to become a mobile and World-leading researcher.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2019	Materials that efficiently and selectively catalyse the reduction of CO2(CO2RR) into chemical feedstocks would open the path to a sustainable zero-emission energy conversion cycle in the making of fuels and base chemicals. Colloidal techniques demonstrated as impactful in the synthesis of metallic nanocrystals (NCs) presenting optimal selectivity towards energy dense products, ideal for energy storage. The challenges in rationalizing NCs synthesis pathway, stability in-operando, and the CO2RR mechanism they catalyse thus present a great reward.To promote the synthesis of efficient and stable colloidal NCs for CO2RR, NanoCO2RE will encompass the study of all NCs life-stages by means of systematic in-silico investigations probing:1) NCs application as catalysts, by screening the selectivity and activity of a large number of non equivalent adsorption sites that catalyse CO2RR, to identify the ideal ones to be engineered in a high-performance NC.2) NCs eventual degradation in-operando, by sampling structural rearrangement in NCs presenting different size, shape, composition under reaction conditions, to single out suitable designs preventing detrimental NC restructuring.3) NCs growth pathways, to establish NCs programmable synthesis route as a function of tunable parameters (precursors, temperature, reagents).NanoCO2RE will exploit the combination of electronic structure, enhanced sampling, and big-data techniques to encode the necessary realistic complexity and predictive accuracy, and in turn to establish rational design criteria in the synthesis of stable and selective nanocatalysts for CO2RR. Beyond the use of state-of-the-art numerical tool, a strong interdisciplinary approach is at the grounds of the project: in-silico investigations will be synergically paralleled by akin experimental studies in the host laboratory. Theory and experiments coming together is indeed key in achieving advances in the rational design of nanocatalysts.	none given	none given	none given

Though tremendous research has been undertaken in the recent past to enhance the efficiency of CO2ER, still little known about CO2ER reaction pathways, selectivity, and the role of active sites, which impede the largescale implementation at the industrial level. It is well known that the surface structure strongly influences the electrocatalytic activity of electrode materials. Thus, the presence of defects, for instance, oxygen vacancies (VOs) drastically alter the surface physicochemical properties of metal oxide (MO) based electrodes and play a crucial role in defining the overall performance of CO2 ER. Therefore, it is indeed necessary to better understand the VOs formation, healing, and associated reaction kinetics. Here, I introduce photo-induced enhanced Raman spectroscopy (PIERS) coupled with gap-plasmon-assisted electrochemistry as a powerful tool to probe the VOs and associated charge transfer dynamics of MO electro-catalysts. Plasmonic nanogaps are ideal for the extreme localization of light and they generate intense electric fields in confined volumes. Such a small gap volume dramatically enhances the light-matter interaction and enables the creation of single molecule-level spectroscopic probes. Therefore, using the combination of gap-plasmon probe electrochemistry and in-situ PIERS, the current proposal aims to elucidate the underlying reaction mechanism of CO2ER at active sites (VOs). As a result, new strategies may be unveiled to design and tune the active sites on MO electrode surfaces for efficient CO2ER. Therefore, the study is not only limited to CO2ER but also provides significant insights for other important photo-electrocatalytic applications as well, for instance, fuel cells.	none given	none given	none given

Using CO2 as a carbon source in the chemical industry for its conversion into valuable chemicals is an advantageous strategy to reduce CO2 emissions and provide a sustainable and cheap source of raw materials to help combat raw material scarcity. Interfacing CO2 reducing enzyme/enzymatic cascades with electrocatalysis present a particular approach to directly power product generation from CO2 with renewable electricity. This was achieved for a few enzymatic cascades; however, these proof-of-concept demonstrations are far from practical use due to lack of efficient method to guide the rational design of these complex multi-enzymes cascades on electrodes, resulting in high costs and low yields. Within this project (TransCO2), my overarching aim is to apply quantitative analysis and rational assembly of enzymatic cascades to enable a breakthrough in bioelectrocatalytic-technology to transform carbon dioxide (CO2) directly into high value mevalonate (C5) at high isolated yields, using electricity as energy source. Specifically, CO2 is firstly converted to formate by the enzyme Formate dehydrogenase (FDH), which is then further converted to mevalonate via 8 steps enzymatic conversions. The whole system will function in an electrochemical cell to make use of electricity as power input. I will build a kinetic model for this enzymatic cascade and implement it to guide the design and optimisation towards highest efficiency with minimal utilization of expensive cofactors.The overall technology in TransCO2 will be a generally applicable breakthrough for efficient production of high-value chemicals from CO2, enabling the large-scale use of CO2 utilisation.	none given	none given	none given

For fossil fuels, especially gas and solids, this must entail the mitigation of CO2 through increased efficiency and the development of technologies that will lead to very low or zero emissions, including the use of CO2 capture and storage. The improvement of the performance of the key components, implementing new power plant concepts and sequestering carbon dioxide is substantial in this respect. FENCO is the preparatory step to form a single major European initiative for energy technologies towards a carbon free power production based on fossil fuels. It is foreseen to establish a European Research Area Network (ERA-NET) that defines a technology path towards low and near zero emission power plants on an extended European level and which links the R&D and demonstration needs of EU member states, the EU, industry and academia. It is envisaged that this will be based on a step-by-step approach combined with significant advances to ensure that future technologies will lead to an improved competitiveness through affordable energy prices whilst at the same time making a significant contribution towards attaining emission reduction targets. Within this SSA it is the aim of the mentioned Member States to prepare the structure and management processes of the following ERA-NET. This will be achieved by analysing the various research programs and academic initiatives in Europe, considering their position in a global sense, identifying synergies of approach and content and thus establishing the basis for a coherent and efficient fossil energy technology initiative across Europe.

However, for transitioning to renewables, large-scale and high energy-density energy storage is needed. The CO2 electroreduction reaction holds promise in this direction, due to its unique ability to convert waste CO2 emissions back into valuable base chemicals at ambient conditions, using renewable electricity. However, it currently lacks industrial adoption, due to the lack of highly selective and stable catalysts. Understanding the catalytic properties such as selectivity and stability at the atomic scale requires fundamental insights about the “”real”” catalyst structure under reaction conditions and its effects on the reaction mechanisms. The goal of this project is to investigate this structure sensitivity of the Cu-based CO2 electroreduction reaction by developing a structure-dependent microkinetic model. To achieve this, I will use Boltzmann statistics and DFT calculations to predict ensembles of Cu nanoparticles with thermodynamically most stable morphologies under experimental reaction conditions and account for the respective distribution of active sites. Thereafter, the reaction pathways towards key products such as hydrogen, methane and ethylene over the active sites will be investigated. The multiscale analysis based on the structure-dependent microkinetic modeling will connect the experimentally observed macroscopic reaction rates with the nanoscale true structure of the catalyst, revealing the structure-property relationships of the CO2 electroreduction catalyst. The potential outcomes are: 1) understanding how catalyst structure at the nanoscale affects its properties in the CO2 electroreduction process; 2) achieving a wider adoption of multiscale modelling as a tool for rational electrocatalyst design; and 3) establishing stronger collaborations between experimental and theoretical catalysis.”	none given	none given	none given

This has caused, in turn, acute problems with the release of vast amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the environment, which is linked to ocean acidification, global warming and extreme weather conditions. Finding new routes to strategically capture, mitigate, and utilize CO2 is thus a priority.The catalytic conversion of CO2 to chemicals is a promising pathway for transforming this “waste” into a precious platform molecule, but the approach is still in its infancy. The SACforCO2 project will decisively contribute towards this effort by designing a novel class of single-atom catalysts (SACs) for a new purpose: the conversion of CO2 to make higher alcohols. To this end, SACforCO2 will adopt an interdisciplinary approach which combines organoligand-based synthesis, advanced characterization, and a close synergy between experimental and theoretical research to gain a deep understanding of the N-based surface functionalization that guides single atom anchoring. By integrating SACs into 3D printed membranes, the project will also set up the technology for a cost-effective conversion of CO2 to chemicals. This will provide fresh perspectives in catalyst design and build bridges between fundamental efforts on materials and device engineering, achieving breakthrough performance under realistic conditions.Furthermore, this action will establish an intra-European interdisciplinary network between emerging researchers in academia and industry, at POLIMI (Italy) and VITO (Belgium), and will allow an Experienced Researcher to consolidate a diverse set of scientific and soft skills, gaining cutting-edge research competences, new credentials in teaching and supervision, and the possibility for collaborations with a broad EU network.

MSCA-IF-2019	The project presents a novel concept that combines Power to Gas (PtG energy storage) and oxy-fuel combustion (carbon capture) to decarbonise carbon-intensive industries (iron/steel as case study). PtG consumes renewable electricity to produce H2 (stored energy) and O2 (byproduct). This O2 is fed in the oxy-fuel furnace in the iron industry to attain a high concentrated CO2 stream, thus avoiding the energy penalization of requiring an air separation unit. Besides, the stored H2 and the captured CO2 are combined via methanation to produce synthetic natural gas to be used in the industry or distributed through the gas network. The overall objective of the project is to reach TRL 2 in the novel PtG–Oxy-fuel–Iron/Steel concept through the following research objectives: 1) To design, simulate and optimize the integrated layout of the novel concept, 2) To assess the maximum CO2 abatement under a proper operational strategy adapted to the industry and the availability of the renewable energy resource, and 3) To compare the concept with iron/steel industries operating with conventional CCS, under economic and life-cycle analyses. The training covers 1) simulation of energy intensive industries, 2) market and industrial criteria and constrains for adopting new technologies, 3) life-cycle assessment and 4) horizontal skills through a wide-ranging programme of activities. These objectives will be reached through a mobility period in Waseda University supervised by Prof. Nakagaki (over 20 years of experience in the topic and 71 patents in collaboration with industry) and a secondment to K1-MET (Austrian Competence Centre for Advanced Metallurgy, driven by the Austrian steel industry).

A better understanding of the double layer is thus necessary for the optimization of key reactions such as the electrocatalytic hydrogen production and the CO2 electroconversion to value-added products, both of which are central to transitioning to carbon-free fuel alternatives. However, there is currently a significant lack of appropriate characterization methods to resolve this interfacial region. Meanwhile, recent results demonstrate that the models so far employed to predict the physical behavior at the double layer are incomplete. Therefore, for the field of electrocatalysis to reach its performance targets, it is critical we develop new techniques to fill this gap in our understanding of the catalyst-electrolyte interface. In this work, we propose to leverage the unique properties of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and total electron yield X-ray absorption spectroscopy (TEY-XAS) in a dip-an-pull geometry to resolve the concentration and configuration of the ions and water molecules present in the double layer. Using single crystal electrodes that are well-defined surfaces, we propose to use these spectroscopic insights to verify the nature of non-specific ion-water-electrode interactions suggested by previous electrochemical and computational investigations. Once optimized, we propose to expand the application of this spectroscopic approach to electrocatalytically relevant conditions for the hydrogen evolution reaction on Pt(111) and for the CO2 reduction reaction on Au(111). The as-described methodology will not only provide unprecedented insights into the elusive contribution of the double layer during electrocatalysis, but it will also enable the standardization of a powerful characterization tool that will greatly benefit the field of surface chemistry and catalysis.	none given	none given	none given

A very promising alternativeis the one-carbon (C1) feedstock methanol, which canbe produced in a sustainable manner from waste, or CO2 and renewable hydrogen. So far, the conversion of methanol to products is limited by the lack of suitable, efficientmicrobial cell factories. Hence, this project will engineer a highly efficient, synthetic methanol assimilation pathway into the well-known industrial host bacterium Escherichia coli. First, modular optimization will be performed for the bottleneck steps of enzymatic methanol conversion in the cell. Then, the overall strain performance will be optimized by rational, systems-wide targeting of the metabolic network and fast growing strains on methanol will be selected and studied. To achieve the objectives an innovative high-throughput genome editing approach will be employed. ADVANC1-METH is expected to yield a bacterial platform strain for efficient conversion of methanol to products, and industrially relevant IP and scientific knowledge will be effectively disseminated. The ADVANC1-METH project will aid the applicant to further extend his knowledge in the interdisciplinary fields of synthetic biology, bioinformatics, genetic and metabolic engineering, and complement his academic skills to fulfil the ambition to become an independent researcher. The implementation and training will be hosted at an institute with key expertise in bacterial and metabolic engineering.

MSCA-IF-2019	The transport sector is one of the largest and fastest growing energy consumers, and one of the most difficult sectors to decarbonize. Although there are projections of a rapid increase in low-power electric vehicles, there is still uncertainty in decarbonising high-power transport vehicles (ships and long-haul trucks). The European Union has committed to achieving at least 27% renewable energy share of gross energy consumption by 2030. A practical implementation is to produce advanced biofuels using bio-based technologies e.g. bio/electro/photo catalysis. These technologies can be used either alone or in a combined way to produce desired products e.g. hydrogen, methane, carboxylic acids, and hydrocarbons. Among these options, hydrocarbons are advantageous due to their versatile use and valorisation opportunities. However, current conversion technologies pose significant challenges: (1) whole cell fermentation is vulnerable to many factors (e.g. products inhibition), whist a wide range of by-products may be produced due to diverse pathways; and (2) traditional linear conversion processes have limited sustainability.To tackle these issues, I propose a two-year fellowship (CHARM) based on the Biocatalysis group led by Prof Hollmann in TU Delft. CHARM proposes a novel bio-based circular approach to enable production of light-weight hydrocarbons from both biomass and CO2 by integrating microbial fermentation, bioelectrochemical synthesis and bio-photocatalysis. CHARM will explore production of caproic acid as a platform chemical and its bio-photocatalytic conversion to value added C5 hydrocarbon (i.e. from CO2 to C5H12), whilst fulfilling CO2 recycle. Through this fellowship, I will reach a level of maturity on not only several scientific aspects but also on managerial and industrial aspects that will provide me new career opportunities.

MSCA-IF-2019	Nowadays, CH4 and CO2 emissions represent approximately 90% of the total greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory worldwide, and their share is expected to increase due to their industrial and organic-based nature as well as the increasing world population. The European Union, due to the urgent need to maintain global average temperatures 2ºC below pre-industrial levels, has developed clear targets in the Horizon H2020 climate actions based on building a low-carbon, climate resilient future as well as greening the economy. This situation requires intensive research on novel, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly bio-technological strategies for GHGs treatment focused on creating a climate-neutral scenario and a green economy. In this context, the ENHANCEMENT project fulfill these requirements with the simultaneous bioconversion of both CH4 and CO2 into the most expensive compound produced by microorganisms – ectoine (14,000 $ kg-1) – using halophilic ectoine producers from the genus Halomonas. This is the first and only technology that can abate both GHGs simultaneously, resulting only in water, cells, and resting metabolites with a high market value. However, the market uptake of this biotechnology requires: 1) unravelling the metabolic pathways that allow the members of the Hallomonas genus to transform CH4 and CO2 simultaneously into ectoine, and 2) testing the biotechnological potential of this new platform capable of creating value out of GHG mitigation through its implementation under discontinuous and continuous operation in high mass transfer bioreactors. In this context, the ENHANCEMENT project represents a multi- and inter-disciplinary investigation focused on achieving the Horizon H2020 goals through developing a sustainable GHG bioeconomy. Moreover, it will also strengthen the applicant’s curriculum and provide her with the soft skills required to take the next step of her scientific career towards becoming an R3 – Experienced Researcher.	none given	none given	none given

Within the project framework commercially available lignin will undergo functionalisation with CO2-philic groups and reversibly cross-linkable moieties. LigMem will potentially encourage the transition from fossil fuel to plant-derived polymer precursors and facilitate the diversification of the membrane market. Importantly, the reversible cross-linking between polymer chains will minimise the disposable membrane waste by facilitating membrane recycling.The experienced researcher (ER) will be extensively trained in the multidisciplinary field of cutting-edge polymer science, membrane technology, and industrial application of biopolymers and gas separation membranes.

MSCA-IF-2017	Horizon 2020 of the EU proposed that there is a strong will for Europe to move towards a climate resilient and low-carbon economy, become the leading force in the world in the development of renewable energies, and lead the global fight against climate change. It has been proposed that not only zero emissions, but negative emissions of CO2 are critical since they are the only way to fill the gap between the high CO2 concentration and the desired target. Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is a promising negative emission technology. However, traditional BECCS technologies have separated bio-energy conversion and carbon capture processes, which will increase the system complexity and energy penalty. Based on the background knowledge and research experience of the Researcher and the Host, we propose a novel BECCS technology, sorbent-enhanced steam biomass reforming (SE-SBR), where bio-energy conversion is integrated with carbon capture. To fulfil this technology, a bifunctional sorbent-catalyst material (BSCM) will be designed and tested and the fundamental component interactions in nanoscale in the material will be explored. The proposal is the integration of the specialty of the Researcher on biomass thermochemical conversion and the specialty of the Host on heterogeneous catalysis and carbon capture materials. Finally, the proposed SE-SBR with BSCMs is expected to replace the conventional biomass conversion methods, ease the fossil fuel energy crisis, and contribute to the low carbon world.	none given	none given	none given

While most Cl isotope data are in the range from -1.21 to +0.40‰, Br isotope data are from -0.06 to +1.48‰. Interesting is that Br isotope variations are of the same magnitude as Cl isotope variations. Also Br isotope values of ancient evaporites are very positive (+0.6‰), impossible to explain from oceans with a modern isotope composition. These data are unexpected considering the small fractionation factors for Br compared to Cl.The research we propose aims at understanding these observations and developing halogen stable isotopes to study fluid transport processes in porous media. This research has a great potential to understand the history and the migration of fluids in deep porous reservoirs which are considered for geological storage of CO2, H2 and hydrocarbons.First we aim to study historical variations of Br isotope compositions in the earth’s surface reservoirs. We will study Br isotope variations in ancient evaporites that reflect Br isotope ratios of the oceans at the moment they were deposited.Second to study the geochemical processes that affect Cl and Br isotope variations. Isotope fractionation during ion-filtration that has never been studied in detail. This process is important to understand subsurface fluid flow and fractionation of ions and isotopes during fluid transport. We aim at studying Cl and Br isotope variations during this process. Also redox processes have hardly been studied. Oxidation processes can increase Br isotopes values more than Cl in spite of Br’s much smaller isotope fractionation factors.Third to understand our observations we will compare the data obtained during this study with the geochemical cycles of Cl and Br. This will allow us to develop future research to continue to improve our knowledge on Cl and Br isotope variations as proxies to understand chemical cycles on earth, especially in fluids in deep porous reservoirs.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2018	Understanding and modelling reactive transport in porous media is fundamental to predicting field-scale biogeochemical reactions, which play a key role in current environmental issues such as water resources management and carbon dioxide sequestration. A major scientific challenge is to capture the dynamics of coupled solute mixing and reaction processes in the context of multiscale heterogeneity, which characterise most natural porous media. In particular, the impact of pore-scale mixing on large- (Darcy-)scale reactive transport is a critical scientific question. ChemicalWalks addresses this question by coupling for the first time the lamella theory of mixing, developed by the host supervisor, and the chemical CTRW model for reaction kinetics under incomplete mixing, recently developed by the ER. While the lamella theory has successfully quantified mixing processes and fluid-fluid reactions at pore scale, its application to fluid-solid reactions, which are ubiquitous in natural systems, remains to be explored. The key idea of ChemicalWalks is to use the lamella theory to determine how pore-scale concentration distributions control the distribution of fluid-solid reaction rates, and formalize a predictive theory for upscaled reaction kinetics through the chemical CTRW framework (WP1). The complementary expertise of the researcher and the host will ensure a particularly efficient two-way transfer of knowledge to achieve this goal. This will open the door to the development of a hybrid computational method, quantifying the effect of pore-scale mixing on Darcy-scale reactive transport phenomena at a scale relevant to environmental applications (WP2). ChemicalWalks will be firmly rooted on a career development plan and supported by scientific training in state-of-the-art mixing theories and data processing and interpretation techniques, placing the fellow at the forefront of reactive transport modelling.	none given	none given	none given

Thus, the necessity of developing greenhouse gas mitigation technologies and biobased renewable energy sources is very urgent. Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) exploits the ability of microbes to make electrical contacts with electrodes and other cells and the production of biofuels with such microbial electrosynthesis is of great interest. However, mechanisms by which microorganisms conserve energy to maintain cells and support growth when directly accepting electrons for MES from electrodes is not explored yet. Moreover, information on carbon and electron flow during CO2 reduction to biofuels at a cathode is not yet fully explored. Thus, MES needs to overcome several microbial, electrochemical and technical challenges. This IOF will contribute to the development of a cost effective alternative to current fuel production, using greenhouse gas CO2 (model pollutant) as a feedstock. This IOF will use new concepts dealing with the better understanding of electron (e-) transfer/exchange, surface engineering conductive biofilms, system biology/genomics, genomic tools, nano-networks and novel materials and practical implications of these concepts for environmental clean-up and the development of renewable energy sources.The proposed IOF will provide a tool for the EU Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23rd April 2009 on the promotion of the use of renewable energy, and also falls into the category of EU climate and energy policies, and Europe Horizon 2020 strategy demanding climate and energy targets to be met by 2020 for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.

This strategy demonstrates its straight to the synthesis of amino acids and diverse complex molecular architectures using renewable sources: light and CO2. The key features of this strategy is to develop a dual catalytic system which can simultaneous activate both coupling partner: the organic substrate and CO2, thus combining two powerful fields of molecular activation: visible light photoredoxcatalysis and organocatalysis. After the development of the discovery phase – development of the dual catalytic system and application to the synthesis of biomolecules – a more applicative execution phase will take place, where organocatalytic magnetic nanoparticles (MN) will be implemented and functionalize to overcome the recovery and catalyst loading issues. This will open the way to environmentally benign industrial applications.The successful development of proposal is ensured by the merging of diverse skills from hosting group at the University of Padova, led by Prof. Marcella Bonchio i) CO2 valorisation, ii) photocatalyst; the ITM-CNR expert in MN Dr. Alberto Figoli: i) magnetic nanoparticle design and assembly and me: i) photoredox catalysis, ii) asymmetric synthesis and reaction development.

MSCA-IF-2017	Harvesting solar energy to convert carbon dioxide into fuels such as syngas or alcohols is a promising strategy to curtail the growing carbon dioxide levels in our atmosphere and overcome the global dependence on fossil fuels. However, carbon dioxide is one of the most stable and chemically inert molecules and the reduction of carbon dioxide can lead to a large variety of products. Hence, the overall efficiency and selectivity of carbon dioxide reduction remains a key scientific challenge. The overall objective of the proposal is to develop novel hybrid photocatalysts-based sheets capable of splitting carbon dioxide into energy-rich chemicals with high solar-to-fuel conversion efficiency and selectivity. To this end, semiconductors with relatively negative conduction bands, such as tantalum nitride, will be modified with various water-tolerant molecular catalysts for selective carbon dioxide reduction, and combined with a water oxidation photocatalyst (bismuth vanadate) to construct sheet systems. Because of the efficient electron transfer through the underlying conductive layer, the obtained sheets are expected to provide the most effective means of achieving efficient and scalable carbon dioxide conversion to produce solar fuels. This project will involve extending the device created as part of the applicant’s current research for water splitting to carbon dioxide splitting. The applicant and the host group possess complementary skills and experiences, which match the necessity for the proposed project. Therefore, they are likely to deliver the desired outcomes in a synergistic manner. The outcomes and results in the present project will strengthen the European advances already made in carbon dioxide conversion and European knowledge. This project approaches the subject from a different scientific angle and focuses on renewable solar fuel generation to access a sustainable carbon-based economy, dovetailing with the overall objective of Horizon 2020 work programme.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2014-EF	While we continue to develop alternative and renewable power sources, the capture and sequestration of CO2 from flue gas in fossil fuel power plants and other industrial processes is one viable solution to decrease our CO2 emissions. CO2 can be removed from flue gas by chemical looping, where a material chemically reacts with CO2 and is treated at a later stage to release pure CO2 and regenerate the starting material. Limestone, CaCO3, is the oldest material to be used for this purpose. However, although limestone is abundant and cheap, the CO2 absorption capacity rapidly decays with use because of undesirable changes to the microstructure. The proposed work will prepare and investigate novel ternary metal oxide ceramics designed to be mechanically stable after repeated thermal and CO2 cycling. In particular, the proposed work will determine whether similarities in the crystal structures of materials (the atomic scale) before and after a transition will lead to robust microstructures (the micro scale) that will retain functionality – in this case, high porosity and CO2 sorption capacity. The complex crystal structures, rich phase space, and strong bonding networks available in ternary phases to be studied will lead to materials that are less prone to degradation. This evolution will be studied at the atomic level using in situ spectroscopic techniques, and the microstructure evolution will be studied using novel in situ X-ray tomography methods, which allow the 3D visualization of the microstructure in real time as the chemical transformations take place. These new approaches to material design will be immediately relevant to many other scientific fields where chemical transformations and mechanical stability are important, such as battery electrodes, solid oxide fuel cells, solid ion conductors, and catalyst supports, all of which suffer from performance loss over time due to microstructure changes.	none given	none given	none given

In order to achieve decarbonization of the energy system, the European Green Deal considers the development of innovative technologies, as the one contemplated in this project, as a key point. Generation of chemical fuels by mimicking photosynthesis is a promising technique. The significance of plant photosynthesis to convert CO2 with H2O into carbohydrates and O2 by sunlight in a green manner is widely known. Artificial photosynthesis is expected to efficiently mimic this process for reducing CO2 with H2O as electron donor, that is, integrating CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) and H2O oxidation half reactions in one catalytic system. Electroreduction of CO2 into value-added fuels is of significant importance but remains a big challenge because of poor selectivity, low current density, and large overpotential. Crystalline porous covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are promising alternative electrode materials for CO2RR owing to their tunable and accessible single active sites. This proposal aims at introducing a new class of COFs based electrocatalysts to rationally explore the use of heterogeneous electrocatalysts offering both chemical tunability and stability in harsh reaction conditions. The development of an electrocatalytic model system is proposed herein, which will be meticulously executed via strategic synthetic protocols and optimized by solid-state chemical procedures and crystal engineering so as to provide insights into the architecture of the COFs, reactive intermediates and mechanistic steps involved in the electrocatalytic process.	none given	none given	none given

As a cumulative result, unprecedented CH4 spikes have been reported lately in Earth’s atmosphere. Combined with the already existing Global warming concerns posed by other greenhouse gases such as CO2, CO, NOx, etc., CH4 abundance will lead to a worldwide catastrophe. Various attempts to convert and utilize CH4 into useful chemicals in mild reaction conditions have only seen limited success. In this proposal, we aim to target the CH4 molecule by fixing the CO2 molecule to produce acetic acid [CH3COOH, a high-value industrial chemical – the global acetic acid market attained a value of over 8.7 billion EUR in 2020 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5% from 2022 to 2027] via Photoelectrochemistry (PEC, using light and electricity) employing a new generation of heterogeneous catalysts called Single Atom Catalysts (SACs, containing abundantly available single transition metal atom embedded on transition metal oxide semiconductors that can rival catalytic efficacy of a well-defined homogeneous catalyst). To achieve this goal, we will mainly study (1) different band-energies of SACs using optical and electrochemical methods; (2) select and examine appropriate SACs with band energies that can enable CH4 oxidation and CO2 reduction; (3) examine their selectivity, efficiency, and recyclability through catalyst and reaction optimizations; (4) characterize the best performing SACs and (5) decipher the reaction mechanism with the aid of computational methods. We will disseminate the results through papers, conference presentations, public outreach events, social media, etc., while gaining several scientific and transferable skills required for career progress.

One of the most studied approaches is transforming CO2 into a value-added product, which in turn lessens its abundance in the atmosphere. Among all the existing CO2 reduction (CO2R) methods, the photoelectrochemical (PEC) is the most promising, as it uses abundant solar energy to convert CO2 into high-value chemicals, combining both the benefits of photocatalysis and electrocatalysis. Nevertheless, there are only a few reports on the PEC-CO2R by molecular catalyst (majorly using noble metals Ru and Re) to produce CO, a crucial primary building block for chemicals with high technological and economic feasibility. In this context, an electron-rich NHC-Mn(I)-carbonyl catalyst has been proposed for CO2R to produce CO with high selectivity at low overpotential and provide a potential platform to elucidate in-depth mechanistic studies, which are rare in this area. The sought mechanistic understanding can lead to the design of improved catalysts under optimal operating conditions. The project will be implemented by a multifaceted approach involving synthesis, characterisation, catalysis, and computations and further enriched by the immobilisation of the catalyst on the semiconducting metal oxide surface to produce a suitable photocathode for PEC reduction of CO2. We anticipate that this approach will deliver catalysts with a lower overpotential while maintaining the exceptional activity of the catalysts (TON, TOF, FE, QY). The earth-abundant Mn-catalyst anchored on a heterogeneous surface can be integrated into devices for artificial photosynthesis by combining it with a suitable photoanode.

In this context, the utilization of renewable energy sources via electrocatalysis has emerged as a highly active field of research during the past decades, although further efforts are required to provide economically viable technologies with practical applications. eCat-MOF project aims at developing efficient electrocatalysts for chemical reactions based on reductive protonation. These processes are ubiquitous to a large number of industrially relevant transformations such as reduction of olefins, carbon dioxide or dinitrogen. An electrocatalytic approach will offer a sustainable alternative to harness renewably sourced electricity to power such transformations, avoiding current harmful processes that pose important obstacles towards a circular economy. The strategy of eCat-MOF project is based on accessing concerted proton-electron transfer (CPET) reactions due to their energetic benefits allowing operation at milder potentials and thus outcompeting the otherwise dominant hydrogen evolution reaction. To this end, eCat-MOF will target the design of novel CPET mediators based on an interdisciplinary approach: incorporation of molecular redox and acid/base mediators in the structure of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and the immobilization of the resulting materials on carbon-based electrodes. This strategy merges the fields of molecular inorganic/organometallic chemistry, reticular materials and heterogeneous electrocatalysis to overcome challenges associated to undesired bimolecular reactivity, low current density, limited Faradaic efficiency, difficult product separation and catalyst recovery.

However, low-cost photocatalysts with essential properties for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) are very rare. After the accidental discovery of carbon nanodots (CNDs) in 2004, it is emerging as the rising star in photocatalysis due to readily low-cost synthesis, high water solubility, good photostability, and the position of conduction bands to afford catalytic reaction. However, on the one hand, research in visible-light-driven photocatalytic water splitting and CO2 reduction using CND catalyst is still in its infancy due to the very low molar extinction coefficients in the visible range. On the other hand, the contemporary literature fails to provide the actual mechanism of photocatalysis in CND materials. To date, the photocatalytic mechanism in CND materials mostly covered either single electron transfer or photo-base effect. Indeed, HER /CO2RR cannot be ensured by single electron transfer alone; electron transfer in conjunction with proton transfer, commonly referred to as proton-coupled electron transfer, is crucial to connect the actual multiple electrons and protons transfer. Therefore, exploring the proper photocatalytic mechanism in CND materials based on comprehensive globally analyzed time-resolved photophysical survey starting from femtoseconds to milliseconds and beyond using pump-probe transient absorption spectroscopy is an open research task.

MSCA-IF-2020	The electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) holds the prospect to mitigate carbon emissions and at the same time convert CO2 into valuable chemicals, preferably from renewable energy sources. Depending on the number of electrons transferred, a variety of oxygenates and hydrocarbons can be obtained with already high selectivity demonstrated for C1 and C2 products. However, for the CO2RR to molecules with three or more carbon atoms (C3+) such as n-propanol, the fundamental knowledge and key-strategies to yield these economically attractive high-energy-density products are still lacking. In NANOconfine we propose a novel concept for CO2RR electrocatalysis, a so-called “inverse catalyst nanoconfined architecture”, that enables trapping and enhanced C-C coupling of crucial reaction intermediates by deterministic control of the local homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical environment. Specifically, we target for beyond-state-of-the-art Faradaic Efficiency >50% towards n-propanol as high-value liquid product. In order to design the optimal electrocatalyst architecture, a systematical approach is proposed to study the following effects on the CO2RR mechanism and product formation: (1) the near neighbor effect of co-catalysts in close proximity, (2) the confinement of reaction intermediates in regular arranged SiO2 mesopores (2-10nm) and (3) the confinement and surface chemistry of different mesoporous oxide 3D networks (MgO, ZnO, TiO2). From this understanding, we will build a demonstrator consisting of a nano-patterned co-catalysts (e.g. Cu and Ag) which interchange their reaction intermediates through a mesoporous oxide network so that they can undergo coupling to higher carbon products at neighboring electrocatalyst sites. NANOconfine will provide fundamental insights on the CO2RR reaction mechanism towards C3+ products in order to push forward the state-of-the-art of this emerging research topic.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2018	Plasma catalysis is a new emerging field of conversion technology, particularly focused on converting relatively stable gases such as CO2 to basic chemical building blocks by using electrical energy. It consist of highly energetic accelerated electrons producing a cocktail of activated species such as ions, radicals and excited species. To be able to enhance its energy efficiency and create selective conversions, packing materials and catalysts are being introduced in the plasma. Although it is well accepted that there is a mutual interaction of the materials on the plasma properties and vice versa, the underlying mechanisms and even more the specific material properties influencing plasma conversion, selectivity and energy efficiency are still largely unknown. Therefore, a systematic study applying know-how of the applicant and supervisor in controlled material synthesis will be integrated in plasma catalytic studies, a new field of research for the applicant. This will permit a systematic structure-activity correlation, identifying the impact of yet unrevealed material properties on the plasma characteristics and performance (conversion, selectivity and energy efficiency) determined by the specific plasma environment. Focus will be put on studying the impact of metal dispersion and metal support interactions on the plasma characteristics, plasma catalytic conversion and selectivity as well as its stability. Elucidating the role of packing geometry on plasma catalysis is a particular aspect of this MSCA, which is expected to have unique behavior in plasma discharge and characteristics and hence conversion and selectivity. This is a feature distinctive for plasma and not encountered in classical catalytic processes.	none given	none given	none given

Recently, bioelectricity production through bioelectrochemical systems (BES) has gained prominence in the recent bioenergy scenario due to its sustainable nature. BES is electrochemical devices that convert chemical energy to electricity using biochemical pathways and redox enzymes. Enzymatic fuel cells works with the help of purified enzymes to catalyze the oxidation of fuel at the anode and reduction of the electron acceptor at cathode. Numerous chemical transformations are reported to be catalyzed by redox-active enzymes including both the reduction and oxidation of substrates. However, all these enzymes require pure substrates for their function which is not economic for large scale applications. In the present study, carbon dioxide (CO2) is considered as substrate for both anodic oxidation as well as cathodic reduction that yield carbonated water and methanol respectively. The proposed work signifies the importance of CO2 sequestration in the present scenario of environmental pollution problems such as global warming as well as need of alternative biofuels. The work plan will investigate the feasibility and mechanisms of atmospheric CO2 sequestration through enzyme-cocktails (multiple enzymes at once) at anodic oxidation process to harness bioelectricity along with the carbonated water, having multiple applications, and cathodic reduction for the synthesis of methanol, without using external energy. Carbonic anhydrase (CA) will be used as anodic biocatalyst for sequestering CO2 to generate carbonated water along with generation of protons (H+) and electrons (e-).

The electricity driven microbial metabolism at cathode has recently opened a new horizon in BES research as it provides very appealing and novel route for the production of valuable fuels and chemicals from CO2 and organics [referred to as microbial electrosynthesis (MES)]. At present, bioproduction via MES exists conceptually or to a limited extent in the laboratory. So far, very few microbial catalysts for these processes have been identified and the impact of electrode materials and operational parameters on microbial colonization at cathodes is not known. Furthermore, there is no developed model of such processes in an engineered environment. The proposed research in MicrobioElectrosyn will tackle these aspects on the example of acetate production by employing several microbiological, electrochemical, molecular biology, chromatography, bioengineering methods and techniques. The accomplishment of proposed objectives with a multidisciplinary approach is expected to advance the MES research with regard to aforementioned challenges for the production of fine chemicals from CO2 and electricity as well as generate scientific and commercial outcome with both environmental and economic benefits for the EU. It represents a Carbon Capture and Consumption approach and is in strong relationship with several national programs worldwide to transform CO2 into new molecules. Overall, it will enable and promote innovative and knowledge-based technologies for bioproduction.

At the same time, industrial production of various commodity chemicals demanding carbon based raw materials through exploitation of different natural resources of the earth is causing an imbalance in the earth’s ecosystem. Recent research on microbial electrosynthesis has shown the conversion of CO2 into useful organic chemicals. Electrochemically active microbes live on cathode of bioelectrochemical system (BES) under specific electrical potential and are involved in reductive catalysis of CO2 to produce various organic products. The present proposal is focused on the production of ethylene from CO2 which is industrially very important commodity chemical. Two functionally different electroactive cathodic biocatalysts will be developed from the environmental sources. The selective enrichment of the electroactive biofilm forming bacteria with desired biochemical pathway is a challenging task. It can be performed with consolidation of biochemical and electrochemical techniques. First biocathode, which is homoacetogenic (BCHAB) will reduce CO2 to acetate in one BES system and the second biocathode which is ethylene forming bacteria (BCEFB) will reduce acetate to ethylene. The blueprint of the proposal focuses on the novel design of a compact BES system with two cathode chambers connected to a common anode to evaluate the integration of two electrochemical reduction functions simultaneously. The proposed work suggest the possibility of CO2 sequestration to generate ethylene warranting pollution control and global warming in a sustainable approach. The output will be a significant step for ethylene production without generating any secondary pollutants or competing with other raw materials required for the synthesis.

Benefiting from a large specific surface area, nanoporous materials interact strongly with fluids, which makes them an excellent choice for fluid separation applications. But for new applications to emerge, a deeper understanding of the behavior of confined fluid mixtures within multiscale porous materials is required, which is made difficult by the rich behavior of nanoconfined fluids, and the geometric and chemical heterogeneities displayed by most porous materials. The objective of this proposal is to understand how the behaviors of fluid mixtures confined within heterogeneous porous materials impact large-scale fluid demixing properties, and how can this knowledge be used for designing efficient nanoporous filters. To do so, I will set-up a multiscale numerical procedure that extrapolates molecular simulation results to the macroscale through a two-step bottom-up approach. The two fluid mixtures CO2/N2 and CH4/N2 have been chosen for their high environmental and industrial relevance. This bottom-up investigation will allow for the exploration of the equilibrium and transport properties of the confined fluid mixtures for a large range of surface and geometrical properties of the nanoporous material, and address the issue of transport and demixing of fluids in heterogeneous porous materials.

With increasing concerns about rising atmospheric CO2 levels, scientists have discussed new strategies to reduce the impact of CO2 on global warming. Many ideas have involved trapping the “greenhouse gas” and converting it into fuels and organic materials, using either light or electrical energy.In this context, one of the main challenges of photocatalysis is to enhance the photoreduction of carbon dioxide. This is an ambitious aim, but it could be achieved now because of the convergence of new experimental and theoretical developments. More specifically, the aim of the project is the activation of carbon dioxide followed by its photoreduction toward useful organic compounds using electron-transfer processes on heterogeneous catalysts. In this context, the new topics that will be studied are: 1) the semiconductor deposition/encapsulation on/in a nanoporous support/host which will acts as a cooperative entity in the photoreduction of CO2 by performing a proper adsorption of the substrate molecules; 2) study and development of the new doping strategies for improving the photoactivity and the ability to absorb visible solar spectrum; 3) the development of a new CO2 mitigation strategy by studying and preparing photoreducers and hybrid photosensitizer – semiconductor systems, and 4) use of the developed materials in a photoreactor.

The industrial sector accounts for ca. 45% of carbon dioxide emissions, stemming from energy-intensive processes like power generation and chemical mixture purifications. Adsorptive separations by nanoporous materials have emerged as a promising platform for energy-efficient industrial purification and carbon sequestration. However, to evaluate the performance of an adsorbent and design a separation process, it is crucial to understand the adsorption thermodynamics and kinetics. Measuring multicomponent adsorption is complex and time-consuming, and adsorption kinetics are even more challenging to measure. As a result, multicomponent diffusion measurements are rare due to the constraints of current measurement methods. By bridging adsorption/diffusion studies and microfabrication, the FAST-MAP project will develop a new methodology to overcome the challenges of measuring multicomponent isotherms and diffusivities. Via a novel approach to realize out-of-equilibrium conditions combined with mass spectrometry, the behaviour of fast-diffusing molecules will be thoroughly evaluated, even in small adsorbent particles and in both single- and multicomponent scenarios. This approach will enable the rapid evaluation and selection of adsorbents for separation processes, thereby accelerating progress towards the zero-emissions target of the EU. The FAST-MAP project bridges the candidate’s strong background in porous materials with the host group’s extensive experience in microfabrication, making it a feasible undertaking.	none given	none given	none given

Among these, long-chain hydrocarbons and alcohols are more attractive because of their high energy density and value. Recently, reconstructed oxide-derived Cu (OD-Cu) catalysts have shown the potential to produce multicarbon species at lower overpotentials. However, few simulations have addressed the formation mechanism of these compounds due to the complex dynamics of this system under high currents, and the exact site for the excellent OD-Cu catalytic performance remains to be discovered. The DESCRIPTOR project aims to obtain the first generation of CO2 electroreduction catalyst with useful faradaic efficiencies towards C3+ products by employing computational simulations based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) and augmented by Machine Learning techniques. Firstly, suitable structures for the OD-Cu materials will be obtained through large scale Molecular Dynamics simulations based on Machine Learning potentials, by screening the most common ensembles identified via graph theory. Secondly, the mechanism towards C3+ will be identified via jDFTx scheme, and descriptors of activity and selectivity will be found through dimensionality reduction techniques. Finally, to assess and compare to experimental work from our collaborators, the contribution of the solvent/electrolyte and effect of experimental parameters will be investigated via ab initio Molecular Dynamics and microkinetic modelling. The structures will be characterized via simulations of X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, and Raman spectra, etc. In summary, the outcome of DESCRIPTOR will have a direct scientific and social impact, by increasing the basic knowledge on catalysis of achieving renewable fuel sources and improving EU’s industrial competitiveness within new technologies for CO2 reduction.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2019	Fossil fuels have been crucial for the prosperity of human society since the industrial revolution, but have also brought about many critical issues, such as global warming. To meet the ambitious goals set out in the Paris Agreement, it is imperative to explore sustainable fuel sources. Liquid fuels produced from renewable-electricity-driven CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) are promising candidates because they simultaneously allow for a carbon-neutral energy cycle and the storage of renewable yet intermittent energy. Due to its high energy density and suitable octane number, propanol is one of the most desired products from CO2RR as direct fuels and fuel additives. However, current state-of-the-art catalysts do not exhibit more than 15% selectivity for propanol, which is a huge impediment towards the practical adoption of CO2-to-propanol electrolysis. Raising the selectivity requires intricate knowledge of what catalyst descriptors drive propanol formation, in order to predict and discover ideal catalyst/system combinations, which are the objectives of this proposal. To achieve these goals, the optimum electrode-electrolyte interface will be identified based on well-defined single-crystal-electrode experiments; reaction intermediates and pathways will be identified and studied by in situ spectroscopy methods and DFT calculations; theory-guided-designed nanocatalysts will be synthesized and subsequently integrated into an optimized CO2RR electrolyser to produce propanol at industrially relevant current densities. Through successful completion of the proposed research, an efficient CO2-to-propanol electrolysis system will be developed together with an in-depth understanding of CO2RR mechanism.	none given	none given	none given

We believe that in order to unravel the elementary steps of electrocatalytic reactions a unique and powerful drive will come from the development of computational techniques able to predict in-operando spectroscopic data. In fact, experimental spectroscopic techniques can offer exquisitely precise data, that nevertheless requires accurate, predictive computational models to be interpreted and translated into an atomistic mechanism.

To this end, energy-intensive thermal methods (e.g., distillation) are currently used making up the 45-55% of the overall industrial energy input. Hence, a transition from thermal to adsorbent-based gas separation is indispensable to address the EC objective to become Europe as the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. However, the low selectivity of the traditional porous materials currently used in industry (e.g., zeolites, carbons), make them unsuitable to meet this goal. Dynamic MOFs, a class of hybrid crystalline materials of recent development, show reversible framework rearrangements which may occur as a reaction to an external stimulus, make them unique for gas separation. They selectively adapt their pore structure to a specific gaseous component in a mixture, yielding exceptional selectivity, but lacking stability under industrial conditions. The project entitled “DynaCOMP: Flexible and switchable MOF-based composites for gas separation” aims to develop shaping strategies for dynamic MOFs towards their implementation in gas separations of industrial and environmental interest (e.g., CO2/CH4, CO2/N2, C2H2/C2H4), and to determine the impact on framework dynamicity after supporting.

MSCA-IF-2016	Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is a widely studied inorganic compound very abundant in nature as a mineral and a biomineral. It is an important building block of biological bodies, making up the structure of invertebrate organisms. CaCO3 is also a key compound for CO2 sequestration strategies. Recent investigations have reported a so-called non-classical pathway for CaCO3 formation, which involves the formation of an amorphous precursor: amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC), which acts as an intermediate in the formation of the final CaCO3 crystalline polymorphs (calcite and aragonite). This has been reported for biominerals such as the sea urchin spicules, which are made of calcite and the shells of Haliotis tuberculata made of aragonite. However, despite these advances on the characterization of the amorphous precursor, little is known about the polymorph selection mechanism. Amorphous carbonates have also been discovered in several strains of cyanobacteria some of these cyanobacteria mineralize CaCO3 internally even in solutions that are under-saturated with respect to all CaCO3 polymorphs. These cyanobacteria have the ability of concentrating elements from the culture medium in the amorphous carbonates. They have also shown chemical selectivity, and interesting core-shell chemical distributions of some ions such as Ba2+, Ca2+ and Sr2+. These carbonates may serve as a storage reservoir of Ca and inorganic C for the cells if they can be stable on one hand under certain conditions but easily remobilizable as well on the other hand. However, the structural characteristics of these carbonate formations inclusions and their impact on the crystallization pathway are poorly known. Therefore, the goal of this project is to shed light into the role of the AAC in the (bio)mineralization process. This aim will be tackled under two approaches abiotic and biogenic induced conditions, which correspond to the two different parts proposed for the development of this project.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2016	Subsurface reactive processes play a key role in dictating the evolution of subsurface environments, their interaction with surface water bodies and the migration and remediation of transported contaminants. In particular reactive hot spots tend to concentrate in mixing fronts between fluids of different compositions, such as recently infiltrated/injected fluids and resident groundwater, which develop in a range of situations, including CO2 sequestration operations and geothermal systems, contaminant remediation operations, and reactive hyporheic zones beneath rivers. Our understanding of the development and temporal dynamics of these hotspots is currently hampered by the limited sampling offered by boreholes. Recent breakthroughs in geoelectrics may however profoundly change our vision of these phenomena by providing non-invasive techniques with high sensitivity to many geological processes. GeoElectricMixing will hence develop a novel approach to investigate the temporal dynamics of reactive mixing processes from Complex Impedance and Self Potential signals. The coupling of reactive mixing and geoelectrics will be quantified and upscaled by integrating charge transport and polarization phenomena in a new modeling framework, recently developed by the host to predict the spatial distribution of chemical species and reaction rates across mixing fronts (WP1). Dedicated experiments will then be designed by integrating electrodes in a novel millifluidic setup to monitor jointly the temporal evolution of geoelectrical parameters and the spatial distribution of concentrations and reactions rate in a reactive mixing front progressing through the cell (WP2). GeoElectricMixing is thus expected to open a new window on subsurface reactive mixing phenomena, expanding our capacities to detect and quantify these processes in situ, and thus providing critical data to unlock current open questions on the dynamics of mixing processes and their role in reaction enhancement.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2019	Combatting the menace of global warming requires solutions to recycle carbon dioxide (CO2). Electrochemical (EC) CO2 reduction reactions (CO2RR) could potentially solve this problem by the storage of energy from renewable sources in the form of chemical energy in fuels or value-added chemicals in a sustainable manner. However, CO2 is a highly stable molecule and catalysts are needed to overcome its kinetically sluggish reduction. Despite the considerable progress in the design of metallic nanoparticle (NP) catalysts, the polydispersity of conventional NPs limits the fundamental understanding of structure-activity relationships, which remains the bottleneck for further catalyst development. To overcome this problem, I propose the utilization of a novel class of catalysts that lie in the transition regime between small molecules and NPs: Atomically precise ligand-protected metal nanoclusters (MNCs). Contrary to NPs, MNCs are monodisperse particles with a defined composition that can be structurally characterized at the atomic level. The aim of this project is to develop the full potential of MNCs for catalytic EC CO2RR i) by studying MNC structure-activity relationships, including size, protecting ligands and metal composition; ii) by tuning their catalytic performance, modifying MNCs with molecular metal-oxides to enhance CO2 adsorption; and iii) by their immobilization into nanocarbon materials, improving catalyst stability and performance due to the synergy between the support substrate and supported catalyst. The goal of the MENACE-CO2 project is to shed light into the precise correlation of structure with catalytic properties, enabling the rational optimization of this novel type of catalysts. Moreover, this project will open new perspectives by engineering nanocomposites, recognizing the roles of each component and how they synergize to achieve their properties to, ultimately, open new directions in CO2 conversion.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2020	The Paris Agreement goal to limit global average temperature increase to 1.5°C cannot be achieved without atmospheric CO2 removal on the order of tens of gigatonnes per year by 2100; a formidable challenge requiring urgent assessment. Further delayed mitigation will have an increasingly damaging effect on the environment. The challenge is pertinent to the mining industry, which produces 1-5 Gt CO2 per year and is susceptible to financial impacts due to nascent carbon taxes worldwide.Enhanced weathering and carbonation strategies in mine wastes, where the natural process of rock weathering and carbonate precipitation is sped up to uptake CO2, is a potentially significant sequestration method, requiring on-site pilot schemes to fully realise the high CO2 storage potential. This project aims to implement new technologies in mine wastes to reduce CO2 emissions. This will be achieved by developing an innovative method to initiate enhanced weathering and carbonation in mine wastes through novel bioreactor technologies.Despite the beneficial conditions at sites, mining companies are not currently equipped for sequestration schemes, meaning new approaches are required to leverage wastes for CO2 uptake. Currently, the state-of-the-art falls short of rigorous industrial-scale testing, neglecting factors such as the geochemical variability of host rocks across sites and the practicality of initiating schemes on a site-scale. This proposal will go beyond the state-of-the-art by focusing on delivering on-site testing on a range of voluminous and suitable materials with industry partners. This new bioreactor system will work to modify pH and harness heat and CO2 point sources at mine sites to facilitate this mine site process stream shift.This fellowship will be carried out at Geosciences Barcelona (CSIC). The applicant will carry out a secondment at Global Ecology Group and work with both academic (Universities of Southampton and Oxford) and industry partners (Rio Tinto).	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2020	CO2 is the most abundant renewable carbon source in nature and considerate the major greenhouse gas. The development of carbon neutral processes plays a major role against climate change. Despite the large number of recent reports related to CO2 activation strategies, a viable solution with potential industrial applicability is lacking due to the harsh conditions or low productivities. Ideally, the CO2 should be captured and activated under mild conditions of pressure and temperature. The combination of optimal mixing and high throughput offered by flow chemistry and the ability of catalytic structured reactors to transform CO2 under mild conditions, offers great potential to overcome these limitations. Thus, 3D printing (3DP) techniques appears as a versatile method to fabricate catalytic flow devices with scaling up potential, due to their simple, flexible and adaptable features. Polymeric ionic liquids (PILs) emerged as an alternative to fabricate 3D multifunctional structures, with unique, synergistic catalytic and adsorbing abilities. The choice of MATERIAL, REACTOR ARCHITECTURE and the NATURE OF THE CATALYSTS plays an essential role in the efficient CO2 capture and utilization (CCU).3DPILcat will develop an extremely efficient, configurable, green and scalable protocol for the preparation of TAILORED AND STRUCTURED CATALYTIC DEVICES FOR CCU. The catalysts will be based in PIL co-polymers with CO2-philic moieties, which will capture CO2 at near atmospheric pressure and catalyse the conversion into cyclic carbonates from epoxides and olefins. Combined with a designed architecture obtained from 3DP methodology, the device will act as smart flow reactors highly active, selective and recyclable. The whole body of the structured devices will act as both adsorbent and catalytic agents, employing batch and flow conditions. For the 1st time the PIL, 3DP AND REACTOR ENGINEERING combination applied to CCU will be demonstrated, creating an innovative catalytic product.	none given	none given	none given

This ambitious project will establish new methodologies for C-H Late-Stage Functionalization of drugs, which is a key point towards the development of libraries of compounds according to EU green chemistry insights.This Marie Sklodowska Curie action will merge the expertise of the host group (Prof. Luca Dell’Amico, NanoMolCat group from University of Padova) in CO2 valorisation methods and photoredox catalysis with the expertise of the fellow on supramolecular chemistry, molecular recognition and organocatalysis.

Even though the stress conditions at depth control the creation of fractures and the transport of fluids through them, technical difficulties have impeded the replication of crustal conditions in the laboratory, and the knowledge of fracture development comes primarily from experiments conducted under simplified two-dimensional stress conditions. This limited perspective has restricted the understanding of the interplay between three-dimensional stresses, the geometry of developed fracture networks, and the direction of fluid flow within fractured rocks. Furthermore, a key challenge for large-scale fluid flow prediction is the extrapolation of results obtained at the laboratory scale (centimetres) to actual reservoir scale (hundreds of meters to kilometres). This project, TRIFLOW, will use for the first time a novel apparatus to deform samples under representative crustal conditions to establish how 3D stresses influence fracture geometry and directional permeability. These results will be combined with innovative 3D mapping methods applied to natural examples of fossilised fluid flow in the form of vein networks, and numerical analyses, to study the dynamics of tridimensional fluid flow across scales. The outcomes of this project are expected to bring substantial advancements to our comprehension of fluid flow dynamics under genuine crustal conditions. This improved understanding will, in turn, enhance the precision of fluid flow simulations for applications involving the injection of fluids into fractured rocks, thereby contributing to the safety of processes such as geothermal fluid injection for energy generation and CO2 storage, both of which are crucial solutions for reducing greenhouse emissions to the atmosphere.	none given	none given	none given

While photovoltaic devices and wind power plants provide sustainable alternatives for energy supply, chemical commodities are still mainly produced from fossil fuels. The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide enables generation of chemicals from CO2, water, and renewable energy, concurring to reduce CO2 concentration and store excess renewable energy. In the SuPERCO2 project, I aim to manufacture electrochemical cells achieving high performance and stability for converting CO2 to ethanol, ethylene, and further C3+ hydrocarbons. In fact, Cu-based materials, the state-of-the-art catalysts for converting CO2 to multi-carbon molecules, suffer low performance and poor long-term stability at large electrode sizes, thus limiting the industrial uptake of the technology. Besides, the lack of effective data sharing platforms prevent parallel optimization of CO2 reduction catalysts by different stakeholders, whereas poor understanding of the many interdependent phenomena which affects the process further prevents its industrial scale up. To overcome these limitations, I will carry out three main tasks: the search for improved catalysts, the creation of an open-source database to store experimental data, and the development of a multi-scale platform to model the processes involved. Overall, SuPERCO2 will contribute in the short term to fundamental insights in the field of CO2 reduction, in the mid to long term to a fossil-free production of multi-carbon molecules within European Union. Besides, by including academic (Politecnico di Torino, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) and industrial (Teijin Materials) stakeholders, the project will provide the researcher with an all-inclusive profile in the field of electrochemistry.	none given	none given	none given

The major objective of this project is to open new avenues toward the capture and conversion of CO2 through the development of novel transition metal-based intermetallic compounds as catalysts for the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR).Identifying the active sites of a catalyst and the species involved in the CO2RR electrochemical process is a precondition for the rational design of top-performing catalysts exhibiting both high activity and high selectivity toward valuable products. For this reason, this project aim to understand the dynamic evolution of the catalysts by detecting the intermediate states of the reaction process in real time using state-of-the-art synchrotron scattering techniques, such as operando X-ray powder diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, to ultimately disclose the mechanisms of reaction.Reaching this goal is the key toward the successful design of technologically relevant catalytic systems able to effectively subtract CO2 from the atmosphere and convert it to useful and economically relevant chemicals.	none given	none given	none given

The chemical valorisation of CO2 is a highly promising green solution involving the recycling and reuse of CO2 effluents as carbon source for fuels and chemicals, such as methanol. The low CO2 conversion, triggered by catalytic nanoparticles (NPs) deactivation by sintering and limited selectivity, however, limits its industrial growth. The first aim of this proposal is to design next-generation stable and selective catalysts for the CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, that can rival state-of-the-art materials through the ambitious achievement of 10% methanol yield. This will be done by NP exsolution, a novel route to achieve stable anchored NPs, which has barely been explored for this application, despite the superior catalytic properties unique to exsolved systems. To then unravel the lack of fundamental understanding in the catalytic mechanisms of exsolved systems, we will characterise the correlation of their structure with their reactivity and selectivity via a unique in situ/operando approach (second aim). The role of active sites such as exsolved NPs and structural defects will be elucidated by in situ/operando Infrared (FTIR) and Raman studies; we will monitor the composition and strain evolution of the materials surfaces during catalytic processing by state-of-the-art in situ photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The unique expertise of the host supervisor in CO2 hydrogenation catalysts testing and characterisation by in situ/operando FTIR and Raman, and of the secondment group in XPS studies of catalysts on-stream, coupled with my experience in exsolved systems design and in situ TEM characterisation will advance the fields of exsolution and CO2 valorisation catalysis, allowing me to gain a unique skillset.	none given	none given	none given

Among the possible catalysts for the ECR, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer a tunable porous structure for rapid mass transport and easy access to a high density of catalytic sites, which can be tailored at the molecular level, leading to superior activity. Moreover, copper-based MOFs (Cu-MOFs) show relatively low cost and ability to form C2+ products. However, the low selectivity, poor stability and electrical conductivity set obstacles for ECR applications of these materials. The ENLIVEN project aims to surpass these limits, through the combination of Cu-MOFs with highly stable and conductive covalent organic frameworks (COFs) forming core@shell MOF@COF thin films on mesoporous conductive carbon nanofibers (CNFs). To this aim, CNFs prepared by electrospinning will be covered by a homogenous metal oxide layer and then pyrolysed to produce metal seeds for the solvothermal growth of homogeneous crystalline Cu-MOF-NH2 layers. Then, the NH2 functionalized surface will be modified with aldehyde groups necessary for the growth of a COF layer. To allow tuning the selectivity towards the ECR and decreasing the competing hydrogen evolution reaction, superaerophilic electrodes will be assembled using COF ligands with hydrophobic groups and designing a special morphology. Also, ENLIVEN will study the new confined chemistry that takes place inside the pores of MOF@COF architectures, rationally designed from the molecular- through nano- to meso-scale. This knowledge will provide the blueprints for the development of more durable and efficient electrocatalytic materials. The project will be conducted in UNIPD and DTU (secondment). The fellow (S.A.N.Najafabadi), with expertise in MOF/COF synthesis, will acquire new skills in the synthesis and characterisation of advanced structures for electrochemical applications.	none given	none given	none given

The CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) powered by renewable electricity provides a way to effectively utilize CO2. Gas diffusion electrode (GDE)-based CO2RR reactors significantly increase current density to commercially relevant levels due to thinner mass transport layers that overcome the aqueous system’s diffusion constraint. Nevertheless, it is still challenging to achieve highly stable GDE, especially in high current density operation, owing to electrolyte flooding as a consequence of hydrophobicity decline. So, the GDE is the primary driver of CO2RR’s viability, but improving its performance is paramount. What sets this proposal apart from previous researches is that we seek to demonstrate a compelling way to reinforce the structure of Cu-based GDEs via the formation of bimetallic structures pursuing tandem effect without using precious metals, which enhances the selectivity toward C2 products. An improvement in the performance and C2 selectivity is envisaged thanks to the formation of noble metal-free Cu-W heterostructures for the first time, giving rise to heteroatomic reaction sites between oxophilic W and Cu atoms to reduce the bonding energy of adsorbed CO. At the same time, flooding is minimized by the obtained hydrophobic surface topology. The surface topology endows high surface area with adequate hydrophobicity to the GDE to establish an electrode/electrolyte interface, which not only traps more CO2 along the hierarchical Cu-W surface as tandem active sites, but also efficiently prevents electrolyte flooding even at high rates. FOTOCER’s achievements will lead to advancements in cutting-edge industrial CO2 to useful C2+ products, which are essential in achieving the EU’s environmental targets at an affordable scale-up cost.	none given	none given	none given

ZIFs comprise a network of corner units (transition metals) and linker units (imidazole molecules which can be further functionalised) that allow a manifold of frameworks due to their structural analogy to zeolites). ZIFs offer many interesting and promising features compared with other porous materials, such as the possibility to tailor these materials for specific applications; different framework zeolite structures, with different cavities and windows; and exceptional chemical stability in refluxing organic solvents, water, and aqueous alkaline solution, compared with other MOFs. Yet to date, the discovery of promising novel porous materials for specific adsorption applications is happening by trial and error rather than by rational design. In this way, molecular simulations provide an outstanding tool to predict the performance of the materials and, like so, to select the optimal structures for a given application. This project will address three objectives: i) identify optimal ZIFs structures through the simulation of its adsorption performance, ii) the synthesis and characterisation of pre-selected ZIFs using different computational and experimental techniques, iii) the assessment of their performance for industrial applications by simulations and experiments. More specifically, the target applications are: a) gas separation of CO2/CH4 and xylenes mixtures as well as gas purification; b) storage of CH4 and H2; c) capture of CO2.

MSCA-IF-2020	Curbing greenhouse gas emissions is a challenge of the utmost importance for our society future and requires urgent decisions on the implementation of clear-cut climate economic policies. Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) allow to explore alternative energy scenarios in the next 30-70 years. They are key to support the design of climate policies as they highlight the nexus between climate modelling, social science, and energy systems. However, the use of IAMs to inform climate policies does not come free of controversial aspects. Primarily, the inherent uncertainty of IAMs long-term outputs has created several difficulties for the integration of the modelling insights in the policy design. Modelling outputs diverge across IAMs models quite dramatically when they are asked for example to quantify the uptake of key technologies for the decarbonisation, such as renewables and carbon capture and storage. Uncertainty in IAMs descends from lack of knowledge of the future and from IAMs incomplete representations of the future. Uncertainty cannot be removed, but reduced, understood, and conveyed appropriately to policy makers to avoid that different projections cause delayed actions. This project aims to fill this gap providing a methodology which defines the sources of uncertainty, either due to IAMs inputs or IAMs structure, and quantify their relative importance. The methodology will be embodied in an emulator of IAMs, MANET (the eMulAtor of iNtegratAd assEssmenT models) formulated using machine learning techniques to reproduce IAMs outputs. The project will provide a proof of concept of MANET focusing on the uptake of key decarbonisation technologies. The emulator will provide a simplified version of the IAM outputs as a response surface of the model to any variation of the inputs. MANET will be a flexible tool for policy makers and scientists for a direct comparison of IAMs with no limitation of the solution domain.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2017	The formation of all carbon-based materials in nature starts with fixation and transformation of carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful chemical compounds. Such reactions are enabled by enzymes which often contain highly active metals as reaction centers that are deeply buried in a protein. In contrast, fine chemical production in industry is nowadays still mainly dependent on fossil fuels as carbon feedstock. Since fossil fuels are a limited resource there is an urgent need for alternative strategies. MOCCA (= Metal Organic Cages for Catalysis Applications) aims for the direct use of CO2 to functionalize olefins and produce higher carbon compounds. Principles from nature will be applied such as incorporation of metal catalysts inside a discrete cavity that allows specific substrate binding and activation. The process is divided into two steps: (1) CO2 reduction and (2) insertion of reaction products into the double bond of olefins, for example by hydroformylation. Both reactions are of high interest in chemical research and industry; several metal complexes have been reported as catalysts. Metal complexes are easily tunable via ligand design and molecular catalysts featuring active site mimics have been prepared. However, the current generation of these systems cannot compete with the efficiency of enzymes. Today it is clear that drastically simplified active site mimics do not fulfill all necessary conditions for keeping up with their natural paradigms, but also the outer shell plays an important role. Thus, the need for wrapping catalytic sites in a tunable chemical environment is evident. The nowadays available toolbox of design-driven supramolecular self-assembly allows the construction of such tailored environments, while investigation of encapsulated catalysts is still in its infancy.

Actually, one of the most fundamental gaps in catalysis is the use of alternative feedstocks such as carbon dioxide (CO2) to produce chemicals. In this regard, the development of “perfect chemical reactions” that maximizes the yield while not generating waste would be highly desirable. In this context, the most promising area of research is the metal-catalyzed activation of inert bonds, thus allowing the elaboration of complex substrates from simple precursors with no waste being generated. While most of the current research on inert bond activation is focused on the activation of C-H bonds, the functionalization of truly inert C-O bonds is still at its infancy. Among these, the activation of ubiquitous C-OH such as phenol or simple aliphatic alcohols is virtually unexplored and it represents a new avenue of research. Beyond any reasonable doubt, conducting basic and fundamental research by making chemicals from CO2 and simple C-OH bonds would definitely open new horizons in catalysis. ALCO2HOL will offer innovative, challenging and unconceivable approaches to convert simple alcohols into carboxylic acid motifs, perhaps the most important backbones in pharmaceuticals. This approach will face fundamental problems from the scientific standpoint without losing sight its environmental and economical implications. Given the importance of using renewable sources in a sustainable society, I believe ALCO2HOL will dramatically change concepts in catalysis, allowing new tactics to be implemented in organic chemistry and consequently, enhancing the ever-growing quality of the European research.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2019	Artificial photocatalysis that converts CO2 into carbon fuels or produces clean energy such as H2 or NH3 from water and N2 using solar energy is an effective strategy to effectively reduce the carbon footprint and to develop a low carbon emission economy and sustainable energy in the future. Noble metal decorated photocatalysts have widely been investigated for improving the photocatalytic performance, however the effect of noble metal crystal phases on the photocatalytic performance is still an unexplored field. This project aims at exploiting the reduced coordination of surface metal atoms in non-standard crystal phases of metallic gold (Au) to create more effective photocatalysts. Specifically, the relationship between the Au crystal phase and the photoactivity of Au-perovskite composites will be systematically investigated by combining various advanced characterization techniques. Additionally, for achieving highly efficient Au-perovskite photocatalysts the modification of non-standard crystal phase Au by constructing crystal-phase-heterostructure and alloying with atom-thick metal shell and the optimization of charge migration pathways in the composites will be performed. Using single molecule fluorescence microscopy, the photocatalytic reaction pathways and the dynamics process over Au-perovskite photocatalysts will be elucidated.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2015-EF	Continuum mechanics represents one of the most important research fields in applied sciences and engineering. Numerical simulation is increasingly prominent in this field, which forms the natural ground for application of very recent techniques of numerical analysis and scientific computing. In the last decades, the simulation of multiphysics problems, where different models interact to describe a complex phenomenon, has received a lot of interest. The current project is framed in this spirit, with the double aim of advancing in the numerical simulation techniques as well as in the improved understanding of the physics in the application field. As main line of work, we treat mathematical and practical aspects of models for nonlinear poroelasticity, with an emphasis on stable numerical discretizations and the use of fast solvers for the highly efficient solution of the resulting algebraic systems. Regarding the practical aspects, we focus on the simulation of the deformation of reservoirs during the carbon dioxide injection stage. In this innovative proposal, we also develop efficient methods for uncertainty quantification in order to assess the risks involved in such process and to evaluate the impact on the environment. The cooperation between Professors Francisco Gaspar and Cornelis Oosterlee goes back 20 years, when they met (as young and fresh) researchers in FhG SCAI in Germany, and cooperated very successfully on multigrid methods. Then, both researchers went their own way (one in Spain, the other in the Netherlands). Now, both being almost 50 years of age, it is important to cooperate closely again, at Oosterlee’s host institution in the Netherlands. Prof. Gaspar is willing to come over to Amsterdam for two years, to boost the research and open new research directions, such as uncertainty quantification.	none given	none given	none given

Unlike traditional methods that rely on asymmetric hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated acids and hydroxycarbonylation of alkenes, catalytic CO2 fixation provides a direct and environmentally preferable alternative. Despite recent efforts in creating new chiral ligands to manage reactivity and selectivity, developing a universal catalytic carboxylation using CO2 remains an unsolved problem. CO2PPER proposes a novel approach by employing stable and easily accessible sterodefined alkylboronic esters in metal-catalyzed carboxylations to prepare a broad range of enantioenriched chiral carboxylic acids. The CO2 insertion will be achieved by the use of abundant and inexpensive copper-catalysts, taking advantage of the lowest energy barrier for CO2 insertion into a M-C bond. This project will significantly contribute to the advancement of the CO2-valorization framework and presents an innovative green methodology for chiral carboxylic acid synthesis.	none given	none given	none given

Among NETs, enhanced weathering (EW) of silicate rocks can remove CO2 from the atmosphere, while potentially delivering co-benefits for agriculture (e.g. reduced nitrogen losses, increased yields, increased drought and salinity resistance) and reducing the overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from this activity. Thus, EW application may be of special interest on rice paddies since they: emit large quantities of methane (up to 11 % of global CH4 emitted); have high water demands and might face drought episodes due to climate change; and are exposed to salinity stress in Europe since they are cultivated in coastal areas. Although some studies have studied the effects of silicate waste on rice paddies, none of them have combined natural silicate rocks and waste simultaneously. Moreover, quantification of inorganic C sequestration through EW and the potential risks in terms of heavy metal contamination have rarely been assessed. The main goal of EWRECA is to develop an agricultural management practice for rice paddies that (i) minimises the GHG emissions, while maximising (ii) rice production (biomass and quality), and (iii) C sequestration. Moreover, EWRECA aims to re-use crushed concrete fines, an artificial silicate from construction waste, thus enhancing material circular economy. To achieve this objective, a mesocosm field experiment will be set up applying different agricultural management treatments. Responses on GHG emissions, plant biomass and soil microbial communities will be assessed over two growing seasons. Overall, this project will generate valuable scientific results that will be of interest for national, European and global strategic actions in agricultural systems.	none given	none given	none given

It is feasible to achieve carbon neutrality by recycling CO2 to fuels, which has a negative carbon footprint. It is not economical to recycle CO2 under the traditional circumstances, which involve extreme conditions. (Photo)-electrocatalytic CO2 reduction using thin-film semiconductor at room temperature is promising. For CO2 reduction, molecular catalysts are beneficial, because of easy structure-function correlations, but they lack recyclability and durability. CO2 reduction catalysts will be produced by the EU-funded MolPPS project through heterogenization of molecular catalysts in porous matrix with 3D crystalline architecture. Due to heterogenization, the proposed catalyst will possess inherent activity and gain stability. MolPPS will help elucidate the principles leading to heterogeneous molecular catalyst designing.This proposal will implement two distinct heterogenization methods for iron/tin porphyrins containing carboxylic acids and hydroxyl groups into porous covalent organic framework. Porphyrins are well-known CO2 reduction catalysts. The microenvironment around porphyrins will be tweaked to tune the (photo-)electrocatalysis to produce methane and formic acid, drawing inspiration from the effects of extended coordination spheres and proton management commonly exploited by the biological enzymes. Electrochemical theories will be expanded to decipher mechanistic information, and develop catalytic models. Working for MolPPS will aid the experienced researcher achieving his goals for an independent research career by: (1) scientific training in organic synthesis and catalysis, (2) mentorship training via supervision of PhD students, (3) fund management training, and (4) develop long-lasting collaborations.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2015-GF	The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is a vital target for the coming decades. From a technology perspective, powergeneration is the largest responsible for CO2 emissions, therefore great mitigation efforts will be required in this area. Froma policy perspective, it is common opinion that the European Union is and will remain leader in implementing clean policies.Basing on these considerations, the power sector and the European Union will be the two key actors of this project. Themain tool adopted in this work will be WITCH, the integrated assessment model developed at Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei(FEEM).The description of the power generation sector in WITCH is quite detailed, but needs to be integrated, especially as far asthe electric infrastructure downstream the power generation system is concerned. In the first half of the project, developed atthe outgoing host, the modeling of the electric sector will thus be completed and refined. In particular, four main aspectsneed to be assessed: i) system integration (i.e. the issues related to the non-negligible penetration of intermittent renewablesin the grid), ii) electricity storage, iii) electrical grid, and iv) electricity trade.In the second half of the project, developed at the return host, the improved WITCH model will be employed in scenarioassessment calculations. Firstly, the prospects in Europe of renewables, CCS and nuclear will be analysed. In particular,attention will be focused not so much on the pure technology aspects, but rather on policy issues such as the role ofincentives in renewable diffusion, the slow CCS deployment, or the effects of the nuclear reactors ageing, or of their phaseout.Secondly, the focus will move on assessing the role of these technologies (and the consequent evolution of the electricinfrastructure) according to different mitigation scenarios, and in particular considering different levels of global participationin EU-led climate mitigation.	none given	none given	none given	F

Moreover, the state-of-the-art computational analysis and physical organic experiments will be performed to gain insights on the molecular level. A detailed cheminformatics-based approach will be adopted to build a predictive statistical model and understand the structure activity relationship between the catalyst and the substrate.

MSCA-IF-2018	Energy shortage and environment pollution are two critical threats faced by the present society. Carbon dioxide (CO2), the well known greenhouse gas is a major cause of global warming but at same time it is also an abundant resource for hydrocarbon energy fuels. Photocatalytic CO2 reduction (PCO2R) into sustainable solar fuels is a highly enticing challenge for simultaneous settling of energy and environmental issues. So far, manifold photocatalysts including inorganic semiconductors, noble metal complexes, metal organic frameworks, 2D nanomaterials etc. have been demonstrated potential candidates for CO2 photo reduction. But the overall catalytic performance of the state of art materials is still far from practical application due to one or combined problems of low conversion efficiency, poor light harvesting, low stability, high electron-hole recombination rates, high cost and lack of product selectivity. Thus there is a steady demand for high performance photocatalysts preferably multinary heterostructure designs that can compensate for the shortcomings of the single components. The PCO2R project aims to develop novel multinary N-doped graphene based heterostructure composites decorated with titanium dioxide semiconductor, gold-copper bimetallic nanoalloys and/or transition metal dichalcogenides-copper nanoparticles as robust high efficiency photocatalysts for visible light reduction of CO2. The heterostructure composite is custom designed to overcome the major existing challenges and is anticipated to have great potential as a practically useful photocatalyst that can reduce CO2 under irradiation of visible light along with high product selectivity. The PCO2R project will confer significant scientific advances in the field of materials design, synthesis and catalysis strategies in addition to the knowledge transfer, training activities and long run societal interests.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2019	The global production of polyethylene is over 100 million tones annually. Carbon dioxide is a major cause of global warming but at the same time, it is also an abundant feedstock for hydrocarbon energy fuels. Electrochemical reduction of CO2 into valuable chemical feedstocks such as polyethylene is a highly enticing challenge for simultaneous settling of energy and environmental issues.Currently, CO2 conversion to polyethylene occurs through an indirect two-step process including CO2 catalytic conversions to ethylene (CO2 hydrogenation) and ethylene to polyethylene (ethylene polymerization) using two different catalysts, separately. The novelty of my research is constructing a bifunctional catalyst for CO2 direct conversion to polyethylene through a cascade of electro-reduction–polymerization catalysis in the presence of water. So far, a catalyst that sequentially transforms CO2 into polyethylene has not yet been presented. Manifold catalysts have been demonstrated as potential candidates for CO2 polymerization to polyethylene. The state-of-the-art catalysts as constituents of the proposed bifunctional catalyst would be Copper and Palladium. Cu is responsible for binding *CO intermediates and converting them into C2H4 and Pd is highlighted for ethylene polymerization after Ziegler-type and metallocene-type catalysts. Using computational software packages, I will develop a multiscale and multiphysics model of direct CO2 electrochemical reduction to polyethylene over Cu-Pd bifunctional catalyst to predict the intermediates and products. To achieve this goal, I will carry out a quantum chemical analysis of the reaction pathway, a microkinetic model of the reaction dynamics, and a continuum model for mass transport of all species through the electrolyte. In parallel, computational achievements will be executed experimentally to produce a creative bifunctional catalyst from merging two different catalysts for the CO2 cascade transformation to polyethylene directly.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2020	Reduction of carbon emission to the atmosphere has become a key target to preserve the planet from its dramatic effects. The EU aims to become the first climate-neutral bloc by 2050, but development of novel carbon capture technologies, and a shift towards sustainable production of chemicals, are required to reach such ambitious goal. Microbial electrosynthesis (MES), in which CO2 is biologically converted to carboxylates and/or alcohols, enables reduction of carbon emissions whilst producing green chemical products. To date, acetate is the main compound produced from CO2 via MES, whereas more valuable caproate has been only produced at low concentrations due to product toxicity and thermodynamic limitations. The “atMESphere” project aims to push MES towards commercialisation by implementing a novel, resilient and sustainable biorefinery concept for selective production, extraction and concentration of caproate from CO2. In a first stage, the operation conditions in MES cells (including microbial consortia, pH, H2 partial pressure, and carbon availability) will be investigated and fine-tuned to obtain, for the first time, selective, high-rate caproate production from CO2. Then, a novel two-stage purification process, comprising of extraction through silicone membrane and concentration by shock electrodialysis, will be developed and integrated to the optimised MES cell, through a recirculation loop, to achieve selective separation of caproate, which has several applications in the energy, food and chemical industry. This project is highly interdisciplinary, involving tools, approaches and expertise from engineering, microbiology, electrochemistry, biotechnology, and membrane technology, and the experienced researcher will receive high-quality training on both scientific and horizontal skills. Dissemination, communication and exploitation activities have been planned to reach the most diverse audiences, and ensure commercial relevance of the proposed technology.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2020	The photoelectrochemical (PEC) CO2 reduction to fuels and other valuable chemicals is an appreciated artificial photosynthesis approach that simultaneously addresses the valorisation of CO2 emissions and the storage of renewable solar energy. Conjugated porous polymer (CPP) semiconductors have been identified as ideal materials for solar energy applications due to their unique advantages of high chemical stability and molecularly tunable optoelectronic properties (bandgap, band position). However, the PEC properties of CPPs have not been explored so far. In this sense, HyPhoCO aims at the bottom-up development of robust, high-performance photocathodes for CO2 reduction, based on abundant and non-toxic CPPs and CPP/inorganic hybrid materials. In a fundamental research approach, the design of CO2 reduction photocathodes will be based on a thorough investigation of the electronic structure and charge transfer dynamics of the PEC CO2 reduction process.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2019	Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere at an ever-increasing rate due to the burning of fossil fuels. At the same time, the production of bulk and fine chemistry mostly relies on the same crude oil as a carbon source. This situation is unsustainable and therefore calls for the recycling of CO2 as a carbon source. State-of-the-art methods are not sufficient to balance the carbon cycle and therefore it is important to increase the scope of available reactions using CO2. In this proposal, we aim to develop a new methodology using CO2 as a C1-synthon to open up new synthetic pathways. We will bind CO2 to a metal centre and use a radical-coupling pathway to form C-C bonds through an atom-efficient transformation. In this way, we aim to synthesise both natural and unnatural chiral amino acids from amines using visible light and combined photoredox- and CO2-catalysis. The project will contribute to uphold Europe as a world-leader in sustainability by developing novel green methodologies, as well as maintain it as a respected destination for outstanding research by dissemination of the results to both experts and a broader audience. Furthermore, the highly interdisciplinary project and extensive training will prepare the researcher to pursue a successful career in sustainable chemistry.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2020	Climate Change is the major global challenge of this century, with significant ramifications on human life. Unfortunately it is unlikely that agreed climate targets can be met without removing CO2 from the atmosphere. Negative Emissions Technologies are needed. The specific objective of the current project is thus to develop a carbon negative technology which can produce power and heat at low cost and which can be implemented rapidly. Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) of biofuels (such as: pyrolysis oils, biogas, solid biomass) can be such a process and is the basis of the project. Biomass absorbs CO2 during growth and releases it when burnt; but if CO2 is captured after combustion this will result in a net flow of carbon out of the atmosphere, i.e. Carbon Negative Technology, or Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS). CLC is a form of unmixed combustion which uses an oxygen carrier to transfer oxygen from air to fuel and permits to have a pure flow of CO2, which can be easily captured at a low cost. The aim of the project is to develop a multifuel CLC combustor which can be coupled with a Gas Turbine (GT). The combustor will work with new multi-metals oxides, to be used as oxygen carriers. These will be prepared and characterized with respect to their structural and microscopic properties, and finally tested in a pilot plant, based on circulating fluidized bed reactor. Particular attention will be focused on biofuels injection, combustor design and reaction kinetics modeling. An approach that will analyze first the oxygen carrier particle behavior, then the reactor performance will be adopted. Finally the results will be used to scale up the process and couple the combustor with a gas turbine, designing an innovative power plant together with a leading industrial partner, which will exploit the results. It is expected that the project will generate important results, in order to implement an ambitious concept, needed for earth and society.	none given	none given	none given

One of the key elements of this hybrid photoelectrode is the presence of the enzyme formate dehydrogenase (FDH) anchored on a highly conductive carbon-based nanomaterial (CNTf or RGO) film at the top of the light absorber that catalyzes the reaction to reduce CO2 to formate. The carbon-based support will provide fast charge transfer from the semiconductor to the biocatalyst, without altering the FDH catalytic center. In other words, for ensuring electron transport between the two key photocathode components), in this project, a carbon nanotube fibre (CNF) or RGO interlayer film will be exploited between the photoactive material and FDH co-catalyst for the first time as a highly conductive platform, which is a prerequisite for technical applications to prevent short-circuiting and leaching of the biocatalyst or mediator species. After evaluation of their PEC activity, the relationship between their structure, synthesis method, and morphology on the one hand and their PEC activity on the another hand will be correlated and discussed. The aim will be selecting the best option as photocathode for designing a photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (PEC-CO2RR) cell with high efficiency and stability that can alleviate the pollution caused from fossil fuels use. In this way, the design of a photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (PEC-CO2RR) cell can be accomplished for producing formate, a valuable chemical product due to its wide range of applications.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2019	Combining together carbon capture and storage (CCS) and exploitation of supercritical geothermal systems (SCGS) in volcanic areas, potentially a very large clean energy resource, could open the door to a whole new cutting-edge technology and contribute to the fight against global climate change. CCS-SCGS systems are widely unexplored and constitute a very challenging problem that involves complex coupled processes of multi-phase and multi-component flow in porous media, geomechanics and seismicity. Subsurface fluid injection technologies bear an intrinsic risk of inducing earthquakes by fault re-activation. Predicting injection-induced seismicity is complicated and challenging from a numerical perspective due to the discontinuous nature of faults. ARMISTICE explores for the first time the possibility of safely combining CCS and SCGS technologies by coupling CO2 flow models, developed by the host, to the high-temperature rheology of rock and faults, developed by the ER. Current models of subsurface flow of CO2 and H2O systems are limited to water’s subcritical temperature: in WP1 we address the problem by incorporating the full-range of fluids’ equation of state to determine the optimal conditions for employing CO2 as a geothermal fluid in volcanic areas. We will achieve the objective thanks to the complementary experience of the ER on SCGS and of the host on CCS. Based on the results of flow behavior, in WP2 we will determine the potential for induced seismicity in CCS-SCGS systems and the conditions for safe exploitation. Once again, the decisive advantage to a successful implementation will rely on the complementary nature of the ER past work on fractures and discontinuity modelling, and the one of the host on fluid injection-induced seismicity. ARMISTICE will be strongly based on a career development plan backed by training on multi-phase and multi-component fluid flow, CCS and transferable skills that will make the ER a global leader in geoenergies research.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2017	ZEOCO2 is a pioneering and structured effort to comprehensively study the introduction of well-positioned Zn, Cu and acidic catalytic active sites in zeolites to directly convert CO2 into fuels and chemicals in one step. This offers step economy due to the possibility of coupling the hydrogenation of CO2 with further C-C coupling within the same heterogeneous catalyst. The synthesis of cheap, stable and active zeolites with Zn sites incorporated in the framework generates Lewis acid sites and favours the positioning of Cu sites by ion-exchange. These Cu sites will deliver redox activity, while Al and Zn will yield acid sites, both needed in the tandem catalytic system. So far, the use of such bifunctional zeolites and especially core-shell structures have not been explored for the tandem process involving the consumption of CO2 and synthesis of gasoline or light olefines. Using a two-stage research methodology, ZEOCO2 will not only provide new hybrid zeolite synthesis technology to be used in acid and redox type processes, but also demonstrate the first direct CO2 to fuels/chemicals conversion within one solid catalyst.The combined expertise of the fellow and the host ensures the best chance for successfully completing the ZEOCO2 objectives in a mutually beneficial manner. On the one side, internal collaborations will allow access to state-of-the-art synthesis laboratories and train the researcher in catalysis engineering using gas-phase reactors in continuous mode; needed to prepare and test the novel zeolite catalysts. On the other hand, a secondment in a world-leading spectroscopy (applied to catalysis) research team, will allow to get new insights into the molecular nature of the active sites and provide understanding of the reaction mechanism and deactivation pathways of the catalysts.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2014-EF	Global climate change due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is a growing concern. The conversion of greenhouse gases (mainly CO2, CH4) to value-added chemicals or renewable fuels is an effective strategy to reduce these emissions and an interesting process both from economic and ecological point of view. A gliding arc (GlidArc) plasma offers unique perspectives for activating inert molecules at mild conditions and allows the greenhouse gas conversion with limited energy cost. A GlidArc is, however, very complex and poorly understood. Therefore, this project intends to obtain more fundamental insight in the plasma-mechanisms of the GlidArc for greenhouse gas conversion, by means of extensive modeling, validated by experimental diagnostics. First, the chemical kinetics in the GlidArc for greenhouse gas conversion will be studied. Second, this plasma chemistry will be incorporated in a coupled magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) – kinetics model to study the spatial and temporal plasma properties. The model will be validated by experiments, to be carried out during the secondment. Furthermore, the effects of various operating parameters, such as the CH4/CO2 ratio, the discharge power and the gas flow rates, on the gas conversion, the yields of the formed products and on the energy efficiency will be analyzed, in order to predict which conditions give rise to the highest and most energy-efficient conversion. This project is very interdisciplinary, including chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, mathematics and computer modeling, with application in environmental science and sustainable chemistry. Definitely it will extend the applicant’s skills in plasma modeling to a much broader field, with new applications, and enhance his creative and innovative potential by advanced training in an international research environment.	none given	none given	none given

First of all a basic understanding of the role of c-type cytochromes and theindirect or direct nature of the electron transfer will be investigated with Shewanella oneidensis. Subsequently Sporomusaovata and its membrane proteins carrying out electron transfer are studied, while the production of acetate from CO2 ismonitored. Both will be analyzed as a function of operating parameters (electrode potential and pH). To round up the project, an optimized continuous run prototype reactor will be operated and characterized.The project will enable the researcher Joana Madjarov to get trained in the whole chain of basic to applied research.

MSCA-IF-2017	The goal of MachineCat is to obtain fundamental insights into machine learning methods applied to computational chemistry problems.Machine learning methods can be used to reproduce the predictions of highly accurate electronic structure calculations at only a fraction of the original computational cost. As a consequence, it becomes possible to simulate chemical problems usually beyond the capabilities of standard computational chemistry methods. However, a routine application of machine learning methods in computational chemistry is made difficult by their inherent black box nature.MachineCat will illuminate this black box by using state-of-the-art analysis techniques to gain a deep understanding on how these learning machines operate. Based on these insights, MachineCat will then systematically improve existing machine learning methods for computational chemistry. To this end, an organocatalytic conversion reaction of carbon dioxide will be investigated. This class of reactions is highly relevant for sustainable chemistry, as it offers cheap access to value-added chemicals, potentially replacing fossil fuels as primary carbon source. By studying one particular carbon dioxide conversion reaction with machine learning methods, MachineCat will not only push the limits of these methods, but also provide a detailed mechanism for the reaction under study for the first time. MachineCat will then use this information to rationally design improved catalysts for the conversion reaction.The researcher will gain expertise in modern machine techniques and transfer expertise in computational chemistry to the host. The networks of researcher and host will profit from two interdisciplinary workshops. MachineCat will prepare the researcher for an independent career, providing him with a unique research profile, excellent teaching and presentation skills, strong management capabilities, extensive experience in public engagement and dissemination, and a wide scientific network.	none given	none given	none given

The target catalysts prosposed in the Fe-RedOx-Cat project are based on N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) as ligands, which matches perfectly with the research background of the candidate. During the first part of the project at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (USA), the researcher will learn a wide range of electro-analytical techniques for the characterization/optimization of the new catalysts and also for its mechanism elucidation.

The afore-mentioned features of the applicant and the host groups will provide an outstanding synergy between all the participants. Hence the researcher will embark on a challenging work plan, learning new concepts in electro-catalysis and first row transition metal catalyst design, essential for the development of the project. Moreover, the Fe-RedOx-Cat project will provide to the applicant an excellent training in the multidisciplinary research area of CO2 valorization.

CO2 is a rather stable molecule that needs a high energy input to be chemically activated, and applications to utilize CO2 effectively are still in their infancy, with several research gaps that need to be filled. In this proposal we will use a new biotechnology named microbial electrosynthesis (MES) that has the ability to use a number of aqueous and gaseous wastes, including CO2, and biotransform them into useful chemical commodities. In order to use MES for practical and large-scale applications, utilization of CO2 from exhaust gases should be the target. We will fabricate and use gas-diffusion electrodes (GDEs) enabling microbial catalysts to take up CO2 gas directly and more efficiently, solving the problem of low CO2 solubility in aqueous media and mass transfer limitations. This project will develop a novel dual biocatalyzed MES consisting of an efficient gas diffusion biocathode for CO2 sequestration in combination with a bioanode for simultaneous product valorization from glycerol, using different biocatalysts, including enriched and engineered synthetic communities. The use of microbial catalysts both at the anode and cathode will significantly increase efficiency and product specificity of the MES system, which is low with chemical catalysts. Furthermore, the application of a bioanode based on oxidation of a cheap industrial by-product such as glycerol, not only generates higher energy electrons for the GDE biocathode saving energy, but also leads to production of added value compounds, making the process more energy and cost efficient.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2019	With CO2 emissions being an eminent threat of unprecedent global impact, cheap ways to separate it from related gas mixtures are regarded as one of the biggest environmental challenges of our century. One alternative to the current methods is membrane-based separations. However, with today’s available materials, membranes are trapped in an upper boundary permeability-selectivity performance, below the target values of industry related applications. Zeolitic-imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) can lead to the development of membranes with high performance due to their functionalization that alters their separation performance. They haven’t achieved the status of game changer materials, though, due to limited knowledge of the structural modification-separation performance correlation. Although there are indications that replacement of the organic linker or the metal in ZIFs, affects considerably the diffusivity and separation of gases, no systematic investigation has been carried towards this direction.I propose a novel method for the design of ZIFs of unprecedented selectivity for CO2 urgent separations: H2/CO2, CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4. The design will be based on the substitution of the organic linker and/or the metal centers of ZIFs. I will develop a computational tool based on machine learning methods which will screen all the suitable metals/linkers in combination with the hundreds of available ZIF topologies. The algorithm’s goal will be to find the missing correlation between these replacements and their impact on the separation efficiency of ZIFs. To achieve this, and contrary to the current screening machine learning-based methods, which focus solely on “static” host-guest interactions (sorption), my algorithm will take into account also the diffusivity (the governing mechanism in membrane-based separations), by adopting realistic structural flexibility response. This will facilitate the design of the optimum material for the three separations.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2020	The goal of this project is to build a systematic modelling framework for advanced polymer materials, that are widely employed in numerous membrane separation applications, especially as gas separation media for carbon capture. Polymers are very challenging to simulate, due to the wide range of timescales that are present in these systems and require elaborate system-specific multiscale strategies. A hierarchical simulation strategy will be developed, encompassing atomistic, mesoscopic and continuum scales, integrating machine learning techniques. The artificial intelligence aided multi-scale approach proposed constitutes a generalized methodology for the efficient computational study of polymers. The synergy of unsupervised machine learning (ML) clustering techniques and neural networks (NN), will enable the extraction of accurate coarse-grained (CG) representations and force fields of the polymer systems, bringing this complex problem within computational reach. Optimized ML models will be integrated into Molecular Dynamics and innovative Monte Carlo simulations at the CG level, with the latter enabling the equilibration up to high molecular weight of polymers of complex chemical constitution, and the prediction of their micro- and macroscopic behaviour. Molecular simulation results will be integrated into macroscopic equation-of-state-based models, resulting in a bottom-up determination of the relevant process parameters for membrane separations (permeability and selectivity) in a wide range of conditions, for pure gases and gas mixtures. Systematic hierarchical modelling provides unique property prediction means, simultaneously shedding light on the mechanisms that are responsible for the materials end-use performance. This is a stepping stone towards the rational design of advanced processes from the molecular level all the way up to industrial applications, which in the present case involve novel separation technologies with great environmental impact.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2014-EF	Anthropogenic activities have increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations, which are considered to be the main cause of global warming. The EU has set itself targets for reducing its greenhouse gas emissions progressively up to 2050. A popular proposed solution to this crucial problem is carbon capture and storage (CCS). Ophiolitic rocks are considered among the most promising lithotypes for CO2 storage due to their high reactivity and many exposures in the world. In this proposal, an innovative and sustainable method for ex situ mineral carbonation will be suggested that will ensure the safe storage of CO2. This method includes the creation of novel nanomaterials via the ball milling process, based on low-cost ultramafic and mafic rocks from the Troodos ophiolite (Cyprus), which is considered as the most complete ophiolite worldwide. Although numerous studies have been carried out on the petrogenetic evolution of the Troodos ophiolite, a systematic work about the applicability of these rocks for CCS will be done for the first time in this study. Fines and waste material from quarries in the wider Troodos area will also be used for the development of nanomaterials. It is anticipated that ball milling will accelerate the kinetics of rock-fluid reactions during the carbonation procedure. Hence, carbonate minerals, which are stable over geological timescales, will provide a safe long term CCS solution. Additives will also be tested in the nanomaterials in an attempt to increase their CO2-storage capacity. The proposal also involves applied research in the form of exploitation of the end-product carbonates in the building industry. The successful outcome of this project will be based on the researcher’s extensive experience in the study of mafic and ultramafic ophiolitic rocks and mineral carbonation, as well as on supervisor’s expertise in the fields of nanomaterials and CCS.	none given	none given	none given

The HAA and HT processes can be employed to various chemical transformations: from activation of inert bonds to reduction of CO2. This approach, however, requires a strict control of the regioselectivity of the reaction. Notably, enzymes – catalysts developed by Nature, are characterised by high activity and selectivity. In this project, we would like to provide insight into the interplay of reaction thermodynamics and sterics given by the microenvironment of prototypical enzymatic active sites (employing HAA or HT as a key step in catalysis) and to decipher which of these effects is more important in enzymatic selectivity.The focal point of the project is the novel three component thermodynamic-based model for reactivity, developed for concerted H+/e− abstraction. The model captures the coupled nature of PT and ET by the relative magnitutes of redox potentials and acidity constants of the reactants – their values determine not only the the reaction driving force but also the two novel contributions: asynchronicity and frustration with opposing effects on the barrier for the reaction. An asynchronous process, featuring a large disparity in ET and PT components of the reaction driving force, is more efficient. In contrast, a common large size of these ET and PT components makes HAA more frustrated and hence less effective.Based on this model we would like to look into systems capable of CO2 reduction and C-H bond activation to assess to what extent their reactivity is tweaked by the local conditions given by the enzymatic microenvironment versus the “canonical” factors affecting enzymatic activity, such as sterics and specific interactions. The studies may serve as a guide for design for systems capable of effective reduction of CO2 and rational redesign of C-H activating enzymes.	none given	none given	none given

WF-02-2019	In the age of Anthropocene, major challenges faced by mankind today are the global climate change and the associated huge energy crisis due to ever increased population demand. So, the contemporary interests are towards energy storage and conversion reactions and in generating the alternative fuels (from CO2, waste to wealth strategy). Copper is the known best electrocatalyst for the reduction of CO2 (green-house gas). However, Cu is not particularly selective-stable electrocatalyst and is vary prone to deactivation; selectivity and stability are two important strictures directly associated with the geometric and electronic structure of the catalyst and hence on the CO2 conversion efficacy. Herein, we propose few strategies with CO2-CAT-ALOG such as doping with IIIA group elements, to effectively have active-selective-stable electrocatalyst to reduce CO2 to >C1 desired products and explain the mechanism of actions by carrying out experiments and theory in tandem. Appropriately, this proposal aims at the (i) synthesis of atomically precise, zero-dimensional (0D) modified Cu nanoparticles (mCNPs) supported over 2D materials, (ii) exploring the parameters governing the CO2 activation and stability of the reaction intermediates with the aid of DFT calculations (modelling and simulation at nano-scale) and micro-kinetic modelling (iii) detailed study on selectivity and stability of modified surface and sub-surface of CNPs with IIIA-group with the aid of high-end multi-analytical methodologies.

MSCA-IF-2019	In the age of Anthropocene, major challenges faced by mankind today are the global climate change and the associated huge energy crisis due to ever increased population demand. So, the contemporary interests are towards energy storage and conversion reactions and in generating the alternative fuels (from CO2, waste to wealth strategy). Copper is the known best electrocatalyst for the reduction of CO2 (green-house gas). However, Cu is not particularly selective-stable electrocatalyst and is vary prone to deactivation; selectivity and stability are two important strictures directly associated with the geometric and electronic structure of the catalyst and hence on the CO2 conversion efficacy. Herein, we propose few strategies with CO2-CAT-ALOG such as doping with IIIA group elements, to effectively have active-selective-stable electrocatalyst to reduce CO2 to >C1 desired products and explain the mechanism of actions by carrying out experiments and theory in tandem. Appropriately, this proposal aims at the (i) synthesis of atomically precise, zero-dimensional (0D) modified Cu nanoparticles (mCNPs) supported over 2D materials, (ii) exploring the parameters governing the CO2 activation and stability of the reaction intermediates with the aid of DFT calculations (modelling and simulation at nano-scale) and micro-kinetic modelling (iii) detailed study on selectivity and stability of modified surface and sub-surface of CNPs with IIIA-group with the aid of high-end multi-analytical methodologies. This CO2-CAT-ALOG approach will not only bridge the gap between theory and experiments at the nano-scale level to a possible extent, but also facilitates intra-European knowledge transfer along with direct societal impacts. In addition, proposed work will not only provide solid guidelines to smart-design and screen the robust active-selective-stable electrocatalysts but also addresses issues to overcome impediments in the field of electrocatalysis of CO2 in near future.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-2019-POC	Both methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are greenhouse gases, but are available in large supply, and are often flared or vented. A promising strategy to efficiently utilize these abundant molecules is their transformation to easily transported liquid chemicals, which is particularly attractive because this conversion not only reduces emissions of the greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, but also produces commodity chemicals that can be either used as fuels or as precursors for many industrial processes. We propose the fabrication of a prototype membrane reactor, containing catalytically active, highly oriented zeolite ZSM-5 thin-films for the conversion of CO2 and CH4. We have recently demonstrated a method for fabricating catalytically active, highly oriented thin-films of zeolite ZSM-5 on various dense substrates. In this Proof of Concept proposal, we will develop the fabrication of zeolite ZSM-5 thin-films on porous substrates to serve as membranes for catalysis and to convert CH4 and CO2 into liquid commodity chemicals, especially aromatics. The membranes will be incorporated into a prototype reactor, to be designed and implemented as part of the proposal, for reaction testing and optimization. Along with the experimental work we will create a market analysis and seek potential industrial partners, key to this will be pursuing intellectual property coverage through a patent application.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-2017-PoC	Carbon dioxide separation, capture and utilization is expected to become a major business opportunity in the near future. Beyond current industrial needs for natural gas or biogas purification, regulatory issues imposing emission control will also contribute to a fast growth in this market. At the industrial level, CO2 separation is still an expensive process, typically based in alkaline amine solutions or cryogenic distillation, and low-cost alternatives are needed. Membrane-based technologies are the most preferred for gas purification processes due to their easy implementation and very low operational costs. However, CO2 separation through membrane systems is not competitive nowadays, due to the low selectivity and poor stability of the available materials. This weakness precludes fully exploitation of the intrinsic benefits (functional and economic) of membrane technologies.We have discovered a porous metal organic framework (MOF) able to separate CO2 from a gas stream (including methane, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, olefins, etc.) that confers organic polymer membranes unique separation capabilities. Composite membranes containing this MOF exhibit unique CO2/CH4 selectivities, at least one order of magnitude higher when compared with current state-of-the-art models. This opens unique possibilities to develop an efficient, robust and affordable membrane system for CO2 separation. Our MEMCARB technology, based on inexpensive starting materials, and obtained via industrially scalable processes, could have excellent market penetration for multiple applications (from gas purification of methane feeds, to treatment of exhaust gas). Through this project we will design, build and validate a membrane-based module for gas purification. The results will be analyzed and compared to current CO2 separation processes to further assess its viability and to identify its competitive advantages. If results are positive, a business plan and road to market will be established.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-2019-POC	Technologies utilizing carbon-dioxide (CO2) as a feedstock to generate valuable products will play a key role in turning the chemical industry onto a more sustainable path. This project addresses the efficient utilization of solar energy and CO2 by introducing a novel technology to produces base chemicals and fuels from non-fossil fuel resources, using an original device architectures for the direct photoelectrochemical (PEC) conversion of CO2 and H2O. During my ERC Starting Grant project we have identified 4 different approaches for PEC CO2 reduction: (i) direct PEC reduction (photocathode), (ii) direct PEC oxidation (photoanode), (iii) PEC reduction and oxidation (photocathode+photoanode tandem), (iv) buried light absorber + EC. In all cases we focus on membrane separated, zero-gap cells, where humidified CO2 can be used as input. This approach will open the opportunity to use industrial exhaust fume (rich in both CO2 and H2O) directly as feedstock for the generation of valuable chemicals. There are four main objectives of this project, which together ultimately result in a preliminary business plan and a roadmap to move PEC_flow cells to commercialization. These are to (i) Validate laboratory results from the ERC HybridSolarFuels Starting Grant, obtain operational parameters under realistic conditions, which can be used in modelling. (ii) Perform technoeconomic and life cycle analysis to select the optimal PEC cell configuration for future activities. (iii) Clarify IPR position and carry out market analysis (including stakeholder- and competitor analysis). (iv) Based on all the above, develop a business plan, which paves the road for future activities, ultimately leading to commercialization.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-2017-PoC	Syngas is traditionally used in industry for production of fuels in the kerosene, gasoline and diesel range via Fischer-Tropsch, for the manufacture of bulk chemicals like ammonia, methanol and dimethyl ether and for synthesis of a whole array of fine chemicals. The hydrogen /carbon monoxide ratio of the syngas is an important design variable to maximize production of these compounds. Therefore, the search of effective processes that enable said ratio adjustment as well as individual compound purification is an essential and ongoing effort for industry. The Proof of Concept that we propose is the development of a zeolite-based separation process to obtain carbon dioxide-neutral fuels and chemicals. The process that we plan to design is based on gas uptake and release, combining separation efficiency with low separation costs. Our approach consists of three main steps: identification of the optimal zeolite structure; validation with experiments and initiation of commercialization by developing a Business Case. For the technical testing, we will use the research knowledge developed within the ERC-RASPA project, and the resulting process will be validated for the separation of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and oxygen resulting from plasma-assisted dissociation of the former gas into the others. The competitive analysis, business case and commercialization will be performed with the Company Traxxys Innovation and Sustainability as a partner.

We have recently shown (Nature Chemistry, 11, pages 638–643 (2019), video at http://nuvision.ncl.ac.uk/Play/18143) that a chemical looping reactor can produce pure, separated streams of carbon dioxide and hydrogen for a water-gas shift process (a key chemical process in hydrogen production) if and only if a non-stoichiometric oxide is used as the oxygen carrier material (OCM). Such new chemical looping processes have the potential to be a transformational development for the chemical industry and associated energy technologies because of the inherent carbon dioxide capture.	none given	none given	none given

The urgent need for strategies to reduce greenhouses gas concentrations has aroused international action from governments. Carbon capture and storage technologies (CCS) have been considered a key solution to reverse the current CO2 trend because they can mitigate, or at least delay, the alarming greenhouses effects. However, the most effective solution for post-combustion CO2 remains still the chemisorption in aqueous solutions of alkanolamines despite limitations as low selectivity, corrosiveness and high energy requirement for operation and maintenance. Membranes are arguably an attractive technology for CO2 removal from mixed, humid gases as it is a relatively simple technology, that can be easily replaced and requires minimum investment and operation costs. In this regard, mixed-matrix membranes incorporating Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) as crystalline components are an excellent alternative to overcome two of the major limitations of polymer-based membranes: swelling and low selectivity towards CO2. Among the families of titanium-organic frameworks developed in the ERC Stg grant Chem-fs-MOF (714122), one of our patented materials (MUV-10) represents a significant improvement or meets the specifications of benchmark materials in terms of key properties relevant to CO2 capture in wet conditions as: gravimetric uptake, adsorbate selectivity, energy efficient sorbent regeneration and recyclability in humid environments. With PORECAPTURE we intend now to explore the commercial potential of this material across three main goals that will include: 1. Optimizing its production at multi-gram scale, 2. Fabricating a new generation of membranes for energy efficient CO2 capture that will be tested in operational environments, and 3. Defining an optimal business model strategy that will include validating our know-how with licensors of CCS technologies.	none given	none given	none given

Amon the different products of the electrochemical reduction of CO2, multicarbon (C2+) product are more desirable because of their high energy density and high market price. Among them, ethylene is widely used for the production of raw materials and has a market price around 1000€/tons, which suggests relatively low threshold towards profitability. The development of such a technology to convert CO2 to C2H4 is however limited by the lack of selectivity and efficient catalysts to drive the reaction, while CO2 mass transportation to the active sites limits the conversion rate. During the course of our ERC-StG 2D-4-CO2, we have developed Cu-based electrocatalysts modified with aromatic functions, which demonstrated strongly improved selectivity for ethylene at industry relevant current density of 300 mA cm-2. The aim of the HIPCEO2 project is to apply the novel Cu-based catalyst develop in our group in a high-pressure membrane electrode assembly electrolyzer. Our specific goals are to realize a prototype with electrode size of 100 cm2 and verified stability of 1000 hours that will be used as a demonstrator to reach out potentials end-users and future partners.	none given	none given	none given

Results from our ERC research led to the idea: Can we react waste materials with CO2 and water to produce fine grained material of value for new concrete? Current solutions for CCS are expensive and require extensive infrastructure but if this idea works, the technology will generate income; our estimates suggest ~ 50 €/T from the sale of the end product. In MIN CO2, we shall test the idea and optimise the system parameters at bench scale, then design, build and test a laboratory prototype reactor, where rate of reaction and formation of a minimum viable product can be achieved in a flowthrough process, bringing us from our current TRL 2 to TRL 4. One patent has been submitted; others will follow as appropriate. Our preliminary market analysis and business case, as well as discussions with potential partners (waste suppliers, a local waste-to-energy plant and a concrete company), bode well for writing a proposal for Innovation Funding at the end of the POC grant. Larger company stakeholders promise investment when we are able to demonstrate viability in a factory pilot (TRL 6). Our long term goal is a startup, that sells CO2 Traps and knowhow for installation into existing factory chimneys, for European and eventually global markets. Initial discussions with members of the public and the media range from positive to enthusiastic because most of society’s fears about CCS are avoided with our approach. As our prospective partner from the concrete industry summarised, “If this works, it will be big”. Our small, dedicated team is convinced that it will.	none given	none given	none given

It enables the utilisation of CO2 as an abundant and renewable carbon source and to transform flue gas into value added products. Coupling the rWGS reaction with renewable energy sources will facilitate the development of closed carbon cycles and to establish circular economy concepts.The main technological obstacles of implementing industrial rWGS processes are stability and selectivity issues of commercial catalyst materials at the required high reaction temperatures. In my current ERC project, we have developed a novel catalyst material based on perovskite oxides that solves these issues. Perovskites are utilised in various high-performance applications (e.g. high temperature fuel cells) and due to their compositional flexibility allow for a materials design approach. In first lab scale rWGS tests, our novel Co-doped materials even outperform commercial benchmarks.The design of commercial catalysts strongly differs from materials studied in fundamental research. Hence, several development steps are necessary to successfully utilise our perovskite-based catalysts in industrial processes. First, the active surface area has to be strongly increased by modifying the synthesis, enabling a scale-up of the catalyst fabrication. Secondly, the perovskites have to be transformed into structured catalysts utilised in industrial reactors (e.g. pellets). These modifications enable rWGS tests in a small pilot reactor and benchmarks of our material against industrial standards.In parallel, the commercialisation potential of our novel perovskite catalysts for rWGS processes will be evaluated. This will enable us to showcase our vision about CO2 utilisation to industrial stakeholders and to find potential partners for future development of real scale rWGS pilot reactors.	none given	none given	none given

Humans need to take urgent action to achieve a climate-neutral society. Among the necessary actions, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) will enable decarbonizing the hard-to-abate industry, which represents some 10% of the current CO2 emissions and can even provide net-carbon removal if it is combined with bioenergy (BECCS) or direct air capture (DACCS). To effectively mitigate climate change, CCS should scale up from the current 40 Mt/yr of stored CO2 to the gigatonne scale by 2050. Yet, one of the main risks of CCS is CO2 leakage because CO2 is buoyant in the conventional concept of storing CO2 in deep sedimentary formations. The leakage risk can be significantly reduced by storing CO2 in deep volcanic areas where water stays in supercritical state because at these pressure and temperature conditions CO2 is denser than water and thus, sinks. Therefore, this novel storage concept, if proven effective, would improve the safety of CCS and would amplify the storage options. We estimate that a few hundreds of wells could be storing CO2 in deep volcanic areas by 2050, representing a storage on the order of 1 Gt/yr. This storage capacity highlights the high gain of the proposal. Nonetheless, injecting CO2 in deep volcanic areas also entails high risks: (1) potential long-term CO2 leakage due to convective fluid flow and (2) potential induced seismicity above acceptable levels. We will investigate the extent of these risks and propose mitigation measures to manage them. We will disseminate and communicate the project outcome to the scientific community, society, policy makers and companies. We plan to patent this storage concept if it is proved to be effective and will establish a commercialization roadmap with the advice of industrial collaborators and experts in knowledge transfer.	none given	none given	none given

ERC-PoC-2015	Carboxylic acids are building blocks of utmost importance in our chemical industry, as these motifs are extensively used in the manufacture of soaps, detergents, pharmaceuticals, rubber, plastics, dyes, textile, perfumes, and animal feed, among many others. Current industrial protocols for their synthesis rely heavily on toxic reagents, lengthy-step pathways or waste-producing procedures such as hydrolysis of nitriles or two-step techniques based on hydroformylation of olefins with highly toxic carbon monoxide with expensive noble catalysts (Rh) followed by oxidation. Unlike hydroformylation methods, OLE-DIOX offers the opportunity of promoting a carboxylation event using unactivated olefins, products produced in bulk from petroleum processing, with abundant carbon dioxide as C1 source. The protocol is user-friendly, with components that are neither air- nor moisture sensitive, utilizes earth-abundant catalysts and operates under mild conditions. OLE-DIOX represents an important contribution for our circular economy by effectively recycling bulk materials into valuable products in one-step operation. These unique features makes OLE-DIOX technically and economically viable for its implementation at large-scale en route to industrially-valuable carboxylic acids, thus avoiding lengthy and waste-producing protocols in the established oil-to-carboxylic acid process chain.	none given	none given	none given

Initial studies have identified novel catalysts that can be used for formation of propene from propane using CO2 as an oxidant. This has significant societal, environmental and economic benefits, as it makes the commercialisation of the oxidative dehydrogenation process more attractive over the current industrial routes for formation of alkenes, such as steam cracking and steam-activated reforming.The objectives of the project are to apply the principles learnt from the study of the catalytic transformation of alkanes into alkenes to produce a new generation of more stable catalysts that are cost-effective for use in large scale manufacturing processes. From the ERC work it has been discovered that by designing a catalyst for efficient use of CO2 as a mild oxidant for formation of alkenes, overall process efficiency can be increased significantly with a simultaneous decrease of use of precious metals. Thus a promising technological breakthroughhas been identified that offers the prospect of selective and efficient catalysts which use cost-effective metals.The two most important alkenes, ethene and propene, are considered as main pillars of the petrochemicals market, since they are the starting point for the production of many chemicals and polymers.	none given	none given	none given

The product can be used for applications both off- or on-grid, and is based on reformed methanol high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT PEMFC) system. Constant improvements and innovations of the product require strong R&D and quality control (QC) activities. This applied research project (ASCEND) will address challenges and issues encountered in the core components of the HT PEMFC stack, namely the processes and phenomena inside the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) and its subcomponents.ASCEND aims to develop diagnostic tools, to better understand and further improve the HT PEMFC stack, by introducing a newly designed test station. This station will be used to test prototype MEAs (and various subcomponents) with the goal of obtaining relevant data and feedback suggestions for improving materials and processes used in production and assembling of MEAs and stacks. The purpose of this test station will be twofold: to carry out QC and to support R&D activities related to stack development and fuel cell functionality and durability. For successful implementation of this new paradigm several research objectives have been set, which will be addressed by using a variety of advanced experimental techniques and methodologies. This new paradigm will allow studying current and novel materials and/or components well beyond the completion of this project and enable collaborations in other research projects and thus faster transition to new state-of-art materials or components.

Geological storage consists in injecting supercritical CO2 into deep aquifers so that it remains trapped under a low permeability caprock. At the injection pressure, CO2 solubility is high and dissolution is controlled by diffusion and dispersion. CO2 saturated brine is highly acidic and will dissolve the rock, increasing its permeability, but also reducing its strength. Depending on chemical conditions, other minerals may precipitate, including carbonates, which effectively induce a mineralization of CO2. Eventually, after injection stops, a sizable amount of CO2 will remain trapped by capillary forces as residual CO2 bubbles. CO2 storage thus involves coupling of multiphase flow, solute transport, geochemical reactions and mechanical deformation. The outcome is non-obvious and requires modeling. Geological heterogeneity can both enhance and reduce the storage capacity. Enhancement can come from speeding up dissolution. Reduction may result from the chemical and mechanical weakening of the confining rock. More intrinsically, it has been recently established that heterogeneity modifies the expression of the processes across scales and may cause new processes to emerge. We propose in this project to improve our understanding of the influence of heterogeneity on the expression of the complex coupled processes involved in CO2 storage. Based on numerical simulations, we will build heuristic expressions of the emerging equations. These will be further analyzed with formal upscaling methodologies such as homogenization or renormalization. We expect to develop, first, a better understanding of the upscaled processes underlying site safety and, second, more accurate upscaled modeling tools. We will eventually determine how these tools can improve the design of injection strategies and the reliability of risk assessment predictions.	none given	none given	none given

MSCA-IF-2017	Anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions have seen a steady increase since the industrial revolution. Recent estimates show that 496 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide will be released in the atmosphere between 2010 and 2060. To address climate change, EU needs other technologies that can reduce the carbon dioxide emissions but also that can use the carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere to produce chemicals or fuels; looking at carbon dioxide as a carbon feedstock rather than an undesired waste.Small organic fuel molecules (e.g. formic acid, methanol) can be produced via photoelectrochemical carbon dioxide reduction. Materials that can harvest sunlight to electrochemically reduce carbon dioxide are the “Holy Grail” of energy sustainable societies; they have the potential to reproduce what nature learned in billions of years: photosynthesis. The action at hand aims at creating a carbon based arificial leaf that can convert carbon dioxide into solar fuels.	none given	none given	none given

Energy efficient separation of gas mixtures is of enormous industrial, social and economical importance since energy has significant impacts on economic and technologic growth of countries. Energy research is directed towards separation of carbon dioxide due to the urgency of energy supply security, climate change problems and economic competitiveness. This proposal aims to examine polymer/MOF composite membranes that will exhibit exceptional performance for separation of carbon dioxide from methane to increase the energy content of the natural gas. The first and only study in the literature on computational modeling of a polymer/MOF composite membrane has been recently done by Dr. Keskin. The results showed that polymer/MOF composite membranes represent an important avenue for enhancing the performance of polymer membranes. Even if only one polymer is considered there are thousands of MOFs that could be potentially used as filler particles in polymer matrices. Given the infinite number of polymer/MOF combinations, using computational screening to select the most promising polymer/MOF pairs before investigating a large amount of time and resources into composite membrane fabrication is crucial. This proposal suggests a coordinated plan of employing state-of-the art atomically detailed simulations for screening highly selective MOFs and applying continuum modeling for polymer/MOF composite membranes for high performance gas separation applications. This proposed study will be the first in the literature to unlock the potential of composite membranes made of MOFs which is currently a mystery.	none given	none given	none given

The physical problem under consideration at the fine scale is the strongly coupled, nonlinear Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) problem subject to large pore-level deformations and/or a nonlinear hysteretic solid. Moreover, microstructures with a continuum distribution of poorly separated length scales will be considered. Novel iterative upscaling algorithms will be used to develop coarse scale models for such media. The research will result in a Multiscale Finite Element Method, which bypasses the explicit homogenization step by building fine-scale information directly into a coarse-scale computational grid. The approach allows accurate numerical simulations at several tightly coupled scales, with the fine scale physics being properly incorporated at the coarser scales. A highly efficient and scalable parallel implementation will be pursued that will allow numerical simulations of realistic problems. The proposed algorithms will be used for pilot numerical simulations of cutting edge problems in multiscale hydro-mechanical modeling of bone tissue and in automotive filter design. Moreover, design of novel temperature and pressure-controlled flow regulators with applications to filters, catalytic converters, and separators can only become possible with such advanced tools for multiscale simulations. The work will also have long term impact in development of upscaling methods for modeling and simulations of emerging multiphysics problems such as carbon sequestration, waste water management or unconventional oil recovery. It also fulfills the aim of reintegrating the researcher. It covers priority areas for the host and both sides have complementing experience.

The biggest reasons for this are the flue gases of the factories and greenhouse gas emissions in transportation. Billion tons of industrial wastewater and CO2 from the same factories continue to destroy our biodiversity in sea/lakes/rivers because of mucilage, eutrophication, ocean acidification, and deoxygenation.With global production sectors responsible for one-fifth of carbon emissions – consuming 54% of the world’s energy sources – there is an urgent need for manufacturing companies to minimize CO2 emissions and optimize energy consumption. ALGBIO provides production facilities and industry with a circular economy model service, where they can capture their carbon, purify their waste, and produce their energies and raw materials.ALGBIO will help the industry lower the environmental impact of the wastewater and flue gasses while turning the waste into energy with its circular economy model and patent-pending technology.ALGBIO’s bioremediation technology is called phycoremediation, which can be defined as the use of microalgae for the removal or biotransformation of pollutants, including nutrients and xenobiotics from wastewater and CO2 from waste air. Rubisco enzyme activities of ALGBIO’s metabolic engineering algae species have been increased. In this way, ALGBIO realizes carbon capture more efficiently and cost-effectively. With advanced phycoremediation, ALGBIO can remove up to 95% of biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, nitrogen, phosphorus and conductivity from industrial wastewater and sewage compared to an un-efficient, carbon-positive conventional bacterial treatment. The successful completion of the ALGBIO project will enable us to identify the pilot customers and implement our solution ALGBIO photobioreactors and ALGBIO biofuel production reactor after the project completion.	none given	none given	none given

The capture, conversion and storage of a sustainable, clean and secure energy represents an important multidisciplinary research area.The goal of artificial photosynthesis is to mimic the conversion of water and CO2 under solar irradiation, carried out by plants and other bacteria, to obtain high-energy chemicals for energy production. Light induced water splitting and CO2 reduction devices at a molecular level require the integration of at least three essential components in a stable supramolecular architecture: a photosensitiser, a water oxidation catalyst and a CO2 reduction catalyst. An interesting way for the incorporation of this catalytic system in a complete functional device is the so called dye sensitised photoelectrochemical cell. In this device, the oxidation and reduction reactions take place at the anode and cathode electrodes of an electrochemical cell.The aim of this proposal is the development and study of an efficient photocathode, composed of a photosensitiser, a semiconductor support and a catalyst for the reduction of CO2 into fuels. This electrode will then be integrated into a new molecular-based device able to produce high value chemicals such as CH3OH or CH4 from CO2. A clear advantage of this innovative scheme is that it allows the study of the kinetic reactions that occur at the CO2 reduction electrode and the mechanisms of the photochemical CO2 reduction in an independent system. The final device will be prepared as a composition of two different sub-systems: for water splitting and CO2 reduction. The electrodes included in the final device are exactly the same systems studied independently, therefore the kinetic studies and mechanisms of action will be applicable to the complete system.	none given	none given	none given

SIE-01-2015-1	Most hiking boots or sport shoes include a polyurethane outsole (elastomer) due to its lightness and higher damping properties compared with rubber. However, a major problem is its poor resistance to hydrolysis, which implies a degradation of the material and the appearance of cracks, when stored for a long time under certain temperature/humidity conditions without being used, thus crumbling completely. Moreover, the current production of polyurethanes is entirely dependent on fossil fuels, implying a large environmental impact. In this sense, PUFOOTCO2 aims to develop polyurethane elastomers with improved properties (high hydrolysis resistance) in an environmentally sustainable way, not depending on petroleum, and starting from CO2 as a raw material, offering the following benefits:- Technical benefits: CO2-based polyurethanes with improved properties to produce PU elastomers for the footwear industry, which implies a product with a longer shelf life.- Environmental benefits: CO2 is free, abundant, and renewable and it can be used as a chemical building block for the production of polymers, thus reducing the dependence on fossil fuels for obtaining polyurethanes, reducing the carbon footprint and contributing in a sustainable way to the decrease in CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.- Economic benefits: CO2 is significantly cheaper than conventional petroleum-based raw materials, so CO2-based polyurethane manufacturing costs are more favourable compared to conventional polyurethanes.Our company, SYNTHELAST S.A., has tested these “green polyols” on a small scale. Through this project we wish to validate this new generation of sustainable polyurethanes on an industrial scale successfully, meeting the technical requirements for footwear applications, with a high hydrolysis resistance and taking advantage of this huge market opportunity.	none given	none given	none given

SIE-01-2014-1	OWS wants to commercialize a biological process that converts CO2 and H2 (after electrolysis of renewable electricity) to CH4 (main component in natural gas). Lab and pilot tests have been and are being conducted and show promising results. A next step in the development is creating a sound business model for further commercialization, and the construction of a first plant at full-scale for further optimization and demonstration purposes to potential clients.As renewable energy sources are gaining more ground in the electricity mix in Europe, imbalance problems on the electricity grid will increase in frequency. The proposed concept offers a solution to this imbalance problem by converting excess electricity via hydrolysis to H2 and using (waste) CO2 to CH4 that can be injected into the gas grid. The advantage of the proposed system is the small scale (< 10 MWe), so the conversion can be done near the production sites.When there is an excess of renewable electricity, fees are paid to the operators of renewable electricity for not producing, thus avoiding grid imbalance. Although this approach is understandable from a balancing perspective, it is contradictory to a sustainable approach and in conflict with the existing renewable energy targets. Therefore, producers of renewable electricity are a first important target group for our technology.CO2-intensive industries are a second important target group. By recycling their waste CO2, they become more sustainable, and it can generate extra revenues from buffering activities.During the feasibility study, OWS wants to elaborate a sound business plan for further development of the technology. It should result in a clear vision on technical, economic and legal issues. The final goal is to build a first full-scale demonstration plant in phase 2, which can serve as a test facility for further optimization (technical/biological), but also as a demonstration plant for potential customers.	none given	none given	none given

MyCapital OÜ in cooperation with its scientific, technical and marketing partners will introduce a very cost-effective and environmentally friendly flue gas purification solution that is based on the company´s patented substance. The substance can be mixed with regular pure water or seawater to form a purification dilution. The cleaning of flue gases is based on chemical reaction by which the flue gases will be purified from harmful substances like NOx, SO2, CO2, particulate matter, etc. The used dilution is completely harmful to humans and the environment. MyCapital´s innovative solution eliminates current problems with utilisation of waste filters and polluted water. In addition, the filtration system operates fully automatic and it has significantly lower life-cycle costs than all the alternative solutions at the market. MyCapital´s flue gas filtration systems are in first order commercialised to industrial boiler houses and large shipping vessels. Especially large market potential is seen at shipping industry. Today, of total global air emissions, shipping accounts for 18 to 30 percent of the nitrogen oxide and 9 percent of the sulphur oxides. Air pollution from international shipping accounts approximately for 50,000 premature deaths per year in Europe, at an annual cost to society of more than €58 billion according to recent scientific studies. Besides enhanced emission control of SO2 and NOx, the EU has committed to decrease maritime transport emissions 50% of 2005 levels by 2050. MyCapital´s solution main advantage over alternative technologies is that the used dilution can be directed straight into the sea, diminishing the need for costly utilisation of the wastes. The innovation is also easily scalable, being suitable for large variety of ships, other industrial applications and for private household´s heating systems.	none given	none given	none given

Therefore, they find potential commercial applications in several sectors of economic activity. Some of them are already commercially viable, such as aquaculture, agriculture, human nutrition or cosmetics, while some others still need R&D to be further developed, such as bioenergy or feed. In addition, bearing in mind that microalgae are the most efficient natural CO2 capturing system, are very productive and do not compete with fertile lands, they have potential to simultaneously contribute to palliate the big crisis humankind is facing: environmental sustainability, energetic efficiency, and food security. AlgaEnergy, a solid Spanish biotechnology based SME, did identify this potential. Since its establishment, it has served as a vehicle to consolidate the existing knowledge within the scientific field of microalgae in Spain -a recognized international hub in the matter-, which was dispersed across universities. Using it as a stepping stone, it has been investing in generating further R&D in order to scale-up the processes and develop ready to market products, so that the achievements in the laboratory phase reach also the society. Within this task, AlgaEnergy has recently been able to reach a semi-industrial scale (TRL 7) with the start of the first phase operations of its semi-industrial plant in South of Spain, that captures real flue gas emissions directly from the second biggest combined cycle plant in Europe, being a worldwide premier. Therefore, AlgaEnergy is now ready to orientate its technology towards the commercialization of its already commercially viable products.

SC5-20-2015-1	“The European Union is one of the most advanced regions regarding environmental regulation, but the rest of the World, in both developed and developing regions, is increasingly adopting similar measures. In addition, the growth of demand of energy and goods plays against these objectives increasing the emissions. Thus both the need and demand of solutions to reduce emission is expected to grow exponentially and globally for the following decades.Currently, industries worldwide face the challenge of reducing the emission of CO2 and NOx incorporating less pollutant technologies, investing in the mandatory BATs, transforming their business toward less polluting products and services or simply assuming lower economic performance due to the environment protection costs derived from regulation. The impact of regulation in industry is particularly relevant in the case of European Industry. Being one of the early adopter regions of these measures, in some cases it reduces their competitiveness in favour of companies of less environmentally concerned countries.The BIORECYGAS technology, developed and pilot tested by ALGING, has demonstrated that removes 95% of CO2 and NOx from a simulated flue gas, beating the average 70-90% efficiency of the BAT technologies from NOx elimination and reducing 95% the need of CO2 emission allowances. These results have been validated by an independent source testing firm that is certified by the California Air Resources Board.In addition, BIORECYGAS uses the extracted CO2 and NOx as feedstock to grow Chlorella and other algae strains producing a biomass stream. This is raw material for products currently available and demanded in the market like: protein and sugar-rich agricultural products, protein rich foods and nutritional supplements, selective food oils and biodiesel.

The company has accumulated a decade of experience in solving the problems of economical CO2 capture and valorisation as well as reliable and cost effective large-scale production of hydrogen by electrolysis. CRI invented a new integrated process for sustainable low-carbon intensity fuel production. CRI’s Emissions-to-Liquids (ETL) technology has been scaled up from a laboratory scale pilot to an operating industrial scale plant with a capacity of 4,000 tons/year methanol production. Low carbon intensity methanol production with CRI technology reduces carbon emissions by more than 90% compared to fossil fuels. ETL is a sustainable process of renewable fuel production which has no impact on our food chain or land use. Methanol produced by CRI can also be directly used in the chemical industry for the manufacturing of sustainable goods such as paints and plastics.CRI aims to up-scale its current plant scale and offer a standard, modular ETL plant design with nominal 50.000 t/yr methanol production capacity. The improved ETL technology achieved with the current innovation project, will enable CRI to efficiently operate using variable power sources or stranded energy assets. One of the defining characteristics of renewable power sources such as wind and solar is their interment and variable production levels. High capacity factor production sites are often untapped or under-utilized due to the lack of adequate transmission line access or capacity. CRI will provide a means to valorise under utilized renewable energy sources.Our mission is that by 2022 in total 1million tn/yr methanol capacity is commissioned. This corresponds to 1.45 million tonnes of CO2 recycled per year. With a proven and scalable technology, based on predictable costs, limited competition and vast market potential, CRI has a strong foundation to achieve its mission.	none given	none given	none given

C2B process is based on Oakbio’s proprietary microbial strain, which uses CO2 from any flue gas and hydrogen (H2) as a feedstock to produce n-butanol, a valuable drop-in biofuel. In fact, n-butanol is primarily used to make durable acrylic plastics, but is also a superior biofuel, which addresses a massive market as a potential gasoline replacement. Oakbio’s microbial strain grows in a standard fermenter that can be located next to the flue stack of the factories (cement plants, power plants and refineries). It can capture flue gas directly at the point source with minimal retrofitting. This will allow such factories to cut 70% of their direct GHG emissions, while the n-butanol production adds a significant revenue stream to their bottom line: Oakbio estimates a return of more than €25 per t/CO2 captured.	none given	none given	none given

Solutions to curb the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and mitigate climate change caused by burning fossil fuels and producing biogas are:- By capturing carbon dioxide out of the raw biogas and reuse the CO2 in greenhouses- by capturing CO2 at big emitting installations and by storing it permanently underground in geological formations or depleted oil and gas fields.CarbonOrO-technologyCarbonOrO has developed an innovative low energy technology to capture CO2 from gasses. This technology is energy efficient (low desorber temperature) and highly cost efficient as it runs on (low-cost or zero-cost) waste heat. Energy savings are 10-25% and costs savings up to 50% in comparison with existing carbon capture technologies.Current applications are in improving biogas quality and in the production of CO2. Future use may include the capture of CO2 from flue gasses at e.g. power plant and steel mills, followed by underground storage, in order to mitigate climate change caused by burning fossil fuels. CarbonOrO is looking to expand its business internationally and therefore will explore the EU-market for carbon capture. Specific objectives in this H2020-SMEINT Phase 1 feasibility study are:- Explore at least 5 (up to 10) promising business cases for the CarbonOrO technology;- Evaluate the required specifications and characteristics of these applications with potential partners and clients;- Elaborate on a detailed business plan.	none given	none given	none given

EIC-SMEInst-2018-2020	Coke, a highly-calorific low-sulphur fuel obtained from bituminous coal, is vital in the production of steel by steelworks. During this process, up to 0.5 kg of coke dust/tonne of coke is expelled. The release of coke dust can present respiratory health hazards to humans, whilst accumulating in the environment due to minimal recycling, often as a consequence of the presence of metal contaminants. Un-contaminated coke dust can currently be turned into coke briquettes with the aid of binding agents or adhesives. Binding agents and adhesives, however, contribute to inefficient combustion and release of environmentally-harmful SO2 and NOx gases, which decrease the efficiency of CCS technologies (i.e. CCS technology can be up to 99 % efficient in the absence of SO2 and NOx). Thus, minimising the amounts of sulphur and nitrogen in coal can dramatically reduce the percentage of CO2 emitted into the environment. We, the C.A. Group, have developed INSTABRIQ, a new type of briquetting machine, which can compress any type of coal dust to create low-sulphur (as low as 0.65 %) “clean coal” briquettes, without using adhesives, thus also affording a high heat capacity. INSTABRIQ briquettes have the same structural integrity as adhesive-containing solutions. As an experienced metals recycling company, we are also uniquely positioned to remove metal contaminants from coke dust, thus increasing the portion of coal, which can be recycled to produce briquettes. INSTABRIQ is a unique and value-added tool for coal-reliant industries, facilitating virgin-raw-material- and CCS-technology-efficiency. Following this project, we expect to commercialise our machine by 2021 to create briquettes primarily for reuse in the steel industry and secondarily for households. INSTABRIQ represents the first coal-based venture for the C.A. Group and will allow us to further diversify our revenue streams in addition to new intellectual property generation.	none given	none given	none given

EIC-SMEInst-2018-2020	Today, around 35 Gtons/year of carbon dioxide are emitted worldwide from industrial plants in a large number of sectors such as coal-fired power stations, chemical refineries, waste-to-energy plants, cement production, iron plants, steel plants and off-shore platforms. Although the efforts of industry and public entities to support the development of efficient solutions able to capture CO2 and avoid its emission to the atmosphere, thus mitigating the greenhouse effect, currently the Carbon Capture technologies cost is unsustainable: the first Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects cost > 70 € per tonne of carbon dioxide captured, a value higher than the European carbon tax (< 15 €/tons, expected to reach 45 €/tons in 2021), making the CCS economically inconvenient. Carbon Clean Solutions Ltd. has developed a CO2 capture process, called CapCO2 and characterized by two disruptive innovations: 1) the intensified CO2 capture solvent, called CDRMax, with a reduced water content and a higher stability in respect to the industry benchmark solvent MEA; 2) the CO2 absorber and solvent stripper configuration using Rotary Packed Bed (RPB) technology, which reduces the units size of a factor > 9. CapCO2 solution is able to drastically reduce the carbon capture cost up to 20 €/tons (60-78% lower than conventional solutions), making sustainable the installation of CO2 removal units in industrial sector. CCSL solvents are already active market products (applied in 25 anaerobic digestion plants in Germany for biogas upgrading) while the RPB technology has been validated by a first prototype. Now, CCSL aims to develop an integrated Mobile Intensified Compact CO2 (CO2 MIC) capture unit, with a capacity of 10 tons CO2 captured per day: the CapCO2 mobile unit will allow the validation of CapCO2 technology in different operating fields, being helpful for understanding and establishing detailed techno-economic evaluations at various industrial flue gas sources.	none given	none given	none given

Methanation processes (converting CO2 into methane) are key enabling technologies because the output of the operation can be stored and transported through the natural gas transport infrastructure already in place and further reduce the “greenhouse” effect responsible for climate change through a circular economy approach. CoMeth, offers the disruptive technology that scales up the process of methanation for any CO2/CO source through a cutting-edge fluidized bed reactor containing nickel as catalyst, providing current providers of CH4 to the grid (Waste Water Treatment Plants and fermentation plants) considerable growth of production yield up to 60% from the same amount of biomass substrate, while avoiding the CO2 removal cost. In addition, these companies will increase their eco-profile as tool to raise both political support and societal acceptance. For the previous, TKE aims to revolutionize the renewable energy market by introducing CoMeth, the first commercial methanation technology for any source of CO2 gas which allows the conversion of surplus power into a grid compatible gas without complex gas conditioning, the automation of the process in larger scale and fitting all applications	none given	none given	none given

EIC-SMEInst-2018-2020	Carbon8 has developed Accelerated Carbonation Technology, ACT, a controlled, accelerated version of the naturally occurring carbonation process. It can be described as a CO2 capture and utilisation, or ‘CCU’, technology which captures CO2 to create a valuable, safe, carbon neutral or negative end-product which can be used as an aggregate by the construction industry. The technology is applicable to hazardous waste from industries including cement, steel and Energy from Waste. These wastes otherwise represent a problem for the waste producer and typically require pre-treatment before transportation to landfill – at a cost of up to 150 Euros per tonne.Carbon8’s technology has already been successfully deployed, under license by a waste management company, at large scale. This Phase 1 Project focuses on the identification of markets and suitable end-products for a small-scale version of the ACT technology – identified as more suitable to customer needs. The compact, containerized processing plant can be integrated into existing industrial processes, utilising CO2 contained in flue gas to treat the industrial waste. It represents a circular economy solution to both industrial waste and CO2 emissions. Carbon8 estimates that around 20% of the EU’s 143 million tonnes of reactive waste might be available. These waste streams would have the potential to capture 3.5 Mt of CO2 /year. There is interest from major cement producers: Heidelberg, Lafarge, CRH, and Cemex and from EfW operators, particularly in northern Europe where disposal options are limited and costs highest.By deploying smaller scale units with single waste streams, there is scope to fine tune the end product, an aggregate for the construction industry, with potential to ‘reverse-engineer’ a premium aggregate which can command a higher market value and further enhance the economic rationale.	none given	none given	none given

Geologic sequestration of CO2 involves the injection of supercritical CO2 into underground brine formations such as oil bearing formations, deep un-mineable coal seams, and deep saline aquifers.Sites where CO2 is stored could be closed and responsibility transferred with lower risk, higher confidence, thus greater insurability, if technologies existed that: i) would hasten the rate of CO2 trapping so long term stability could be reached in decades rather than centuries and ii) if rock formations could be sealed near wells, to prevent leakage through degraded steel and concrete in the closed injection well.Previous work by the fellow (Mitchell et al., 2008, 2009, 2010) has demonstrated such technology – via carbonate mineral forming bacteria and biofilms in the subsurface. Here, we have shown that carbonate mineral forming microorganisms and biofilms can enhance CCS via solubility-trapping, mineral-trapping, and CO2(g) leakage reduction. Such work has however, been performed under low pressure conditions for a simple brine composition.The CO2TRAP project aims to develop this green-technology further to address these knowledge gaps. We will;(i)Investigate the effectof brine composition on the biomineralization process(ii)Determine the effect of pressure on the biomineralization process(iii)Determine the stability of carbonate minerals to SC-CO2 / brine mixtures under reservoir conditionsThese data will enhance the EU’s ability to develop energy efficient, low carbon water and air treatment technologies through the 21st century for a long term environmentally sustainable future.	none given	none given	none given

The most desirable case of geological storage is when injected CO2 is enhancing production of energy source such as is the case of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) or Enhanced Coalbed Methane (ECBM). Recently discovered shale gas reservoirs Poland might be also a target for carbon dioxide storage. The mechanism of gas trapping in shale gas is similar to that of coal. Gas is physically adsorbed on the surface of porous shale structure and moves with diffusive flow. If the fracture is created, gas moves in fractures according to Darcy’s law and desorbed from pores according to Fickean’s diffusive flow. Hence, if the fractures are created it might be possible to inject CO2 in order to store it in a similar manner as in case of ECBM.Two issues regarding CO2 storage in porous media are important: its capacity to store intended volume of CO2 and injectivity to receive CO2 at the supply rate. In case of shale reservoirs these two parameters can be measured as sorption capacity and permeability. Shale gas reservoirs are known to be low permeable (0.001 md to 0.1 md). However, permeability of such reservoirs can be significantly increased by hydraulic fracturing.Therefore, the objectives of this research proposal are: assessing the possibilities of CO2 storage in gas bearing shale and to investigate the possibility of enhanced shale gas recovery by CO2 injection.For the purpose of the study gas bearing shale samples from Poland will be investigated. First part of the research will involve CO2 interactions with shale gas reservoirs. Whereas the second part will investigate the possibility of enhanced gas recovery from gas shale by CO2 injection in simulated in-situ conditions and artificial fracture. Obtained parameters will serve as the basics for mathematical models of CO2 storage and flow in tight reservoirs.”	none given	none given	none given

The researcher is in the first year of a 34-month contract working on an innovative project with very significant potential benefit to European industry. A total project cost of 150k is anticipated including a requested EC contribution of 40k. The proposal centres on the capture of a carbon dioxide (CO2), from combustion processes. Success will be achieved by developing membrane technology based on selective oxide -ion-conducting materials in the form of hollow fibres. The membrane will exclude nitrogen from the methane fuel and consequently no NOx pollutants will be produced. Additionally there is no need for an expensive nitrogen/CO2 separation stage should CO2 b e used in a further process or indeed sequestered. The researcher has acquired a broad range of technical knowledge in a number of previous catalysis-focused projects. Recent participation in the HiT Proton RTN provided excellent training in the field of solid-state electrochemistry and catalysis. The new project described here provides an excellent opportunity to gain valuable experience and knowledge within the field. Additionally the researcher will be directly involved in the supervision of PhD student s and will be expected to take the next steps in establishing himself in a leadership role through increased national and international profile. This will further develop the researcher’s links within Europe; strong links already existing as a result of Hi T Proton. The researcher’s current position includes undergraduate teaching responsibilities and activities such as proposal writing. This contributes to the quality of the host institute and expands further the researcher’s expertise. It is expected that high quality, independent research ideas will follow leading to grant awards in the increasingly important field of membrane technology.

Research was carried out into the characterization of transition zones including a study of transport phenomena in order to acquire informations about the mechanism for the stabilization of flood fronts near the minimum miscribility pressure (MMP). The evaluation of the relative permeabilities and viscosities were based on studies of the relative permeability governed by the phase behaviour within the transition zone. Extensive pressure volume temperature studies on a live oil and carbon dioxide system were carried out and to evaluate partition coefficients of components from different classes of compounds analytical methods were developed and applied. New experimental equipment for steady and unsteady state experiments was developed measurements using steady state processes. The flow was generated by displacement pumps driven by stepmotors. The back pressure regulator maintained the pressure within the hydraulic system and a set of pumps allowed injection of 2 coexisting phases into a reservoir model. An injection system was installed at the inlet of the core holder to study transport phenomena of characteristic oil compounds. The flood device for displacement experiments corresponded to conventional set ups for carbon dioxide flood experiments. Flow experiment were carried out under steady state conditions and carbon dioxide flood experiments were performed to study the displacement behaviour below and above MMP. The displacement behaviour of carbon dioxide and oil systems was not only governed by thermodynamical properties of the related phases, but also due to the transport behaviour of compounds involved. In contradiction to the results of the theory of the multicomponents chromatography, not including dispersion, the dispersion resulted in a continuous change of the concentration of all components. This was valid below and above MMP. The prevention of the separation of methane, ethane and carbon dioxide resulted in an elongation of the compositi on path within the homogeneous region of the transition zone. The crossover into the large methane and oil miscibility gap was avoided, which would lead to an unstable immis cible gas drive at high viscosity differences and density differences. The miscibility gap was entered at high carbon dioxide concentrations resulting in minor interfacial tension in front of the transition zone. BESIDE THERMAL METHODS, MISCIBLE FLOODING IS A MOST CONVENIENT METHOD TO ATTAIN ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY. ACTUAL EFFICIENCIES HOWEVER APPEAR TO BE OFTEN MUCH POORER THAN FROM LABORATORY SIMULATIONS BASED MAINLY ON ASTM ANALYTICAL DATA. THE INSTABILITIES OF THE FLOOD FRONT ARE ASSUMED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS; THESE, IN TURN, DEPEND UPON HOMOGENEITIES OF SITES, GRAVITY EFFECTS, LARGE DIFFERENCES IN VISCOSITY AND DENSITY BETWEEN CRUDE OIL AND FLOODING AGENT (I.E. CO2), VARIATION OF THE COMPOSITON OF THE TRANSITION PHASE OR ZONE (WHICH IS BUILT UP BY THE DRIVING MEDIA) AS A RESULT OF SELECTIVE OIL EXTRACTION (ESPECIALLY OF LIGHT N, S, O -COMPOUNDS) UNDER UNSTABLE CONDITIONS, THE SIMULATED COMPOSITION PASSES THROUGH THE TWO-PHASE REGION. THE SWEEPOUT EFFICIENCY DEPENDS ON THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF THE TRANSITION PHASES. COLLECTING DETAILED AND ACCURATE EXPERIMENTAL DATA CONCERNING THEIR CHARACTERIZATION AS WELL AS THEIR FLOW BEHAVIOUR, EVEN IN POROUS MEDIA, IS THEREFORE A NEED FOR MORE RELIABLE SWEEPOUT EFFICIENCY PREDICTIONS. ON REAL SYSTEMS, CONSISTING OF CO2 AND TWO LIGHT TO MEDIUM OILS WITH VARIABLE INTERMEDIATE CONTENT, AT RESERVOIR TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES BOTH BELOW AND ABOVE THE MINIMUM MISCIBILITY PRESSURE (MMP), THE FOLLOWING MEASUREMENTS ARE INTENTED TO BE CARRIED OUT IN HOMOGENEOUS AND HETEROGENEOUS PHASE REGIONS. A) PVT-MEASUREMENTS ON EQUILIBRIUM PHASES (A MINIMUM OF 25 POINTS), DENSITY, VISCOSITY, PHASE VOLUMES, PARTITION COEFFICIENTS, INTERFACIAL TENSION. A PVT APPARATUS FOR WORK UP TO 150 CELSIUS DEGREES AND 100 MPA WILL BE USED. HPLC, GPC, GLC-MS TECHNIQUES WILL BE USED FOR COMPOSITION DETERMINATIONS. B) STEADY AND UNSTEADY-STATE FLOOD EXPERIMENTS: RELATIVE PERMEABILITY (WHICH ALLOWS MULTIPHASE VOLUME STREAMS IN POROUS MEDIA TO BE DESCRIBED) AND DISPERSION OF MARKER COMPOUNDS (RELATED TO THE MASS TRANSFER BEHAVIOUR BETWEEN COEXISTING PHASES). EQUIPMENT WITH CORE DEVICE (10-20 MM IN DIAMETER, 20-100 CM IN LENGTH) AND SLIM TUBE (6-10 MM IN DIAMETER, 2-10 M IN LENGTH) AS RESERVOIR MODELS WILL BE USED. FOR UNSTEADY EXPERIMENTS THE CORE DEVICE WILL BE 10-90 MM IN DIAMETER. C) MEASUREMENTS WITHIN THE TRANSITION ZONE DURING DISPLACEMENT: CONCENTRATION PROFILE AND LOCAL CONCENTRATION, DENSITY AND VISCOSITY. SPECIAL EQUIPMENT FOR ON-LINE DETERMINATIONS WILL BE DEVELOPED FOR THIS PURPOSE. SPECIAL ATTENTION WILL BE PAID TO THE PARTITION COEFFICIENTS OF HETEROATOM-CONTAINING OIL COMPONENTS. THE LOCAL CONCENTRATION OF THESE COMPOUNDS DURING DISPLACEMENT TESTS IS EXPECTED TO GIVE VALUABLE INFORMATION ON THE STRUCTURE AND STABILITY OF DISPLACEMENT FRONTS.				2

The study demonstrated the feasibility and practicality of CO2 disposal underground. The first step is to separate the CO2 from the power station flue gas. This is the most costly part of the whole process – between 25 and 65 ECU per tonne of CO2 avoided, depending on the type of power plant. Storage could be in deep porous and permeable reservoir rocks, where the free CO2 would be in a dense, supercritical phase at depths of around 800 m or more. Shallow sub-surface storage is impractical. The study identified that approximately 800 GTm of CO2 storage capacity is available in the European Union and Norway (compared with current annual CO2 production from power stations of 1 GTm/year). Most of this is located under the North Sea. If, however, CO2 storage can be combined with enhanced oil recovery, then cost credits from the sale of recovered oil could totally defray the costs of CO2 recovery at power stations. The project will be divided into six work areas: 1. Definition of the quality and quantity of CO2 likely to become available for disposal. This will: Define the trace element composition of CO2-dominated gas from fossil fuel-fired power plant. Define the operating conditions under which this gas is likely to be supplied for disposal. Assess the quantities of CO2 which could be supplied from European fossil fuel-fired power plant. 2. Potential storage capacity for underground disposal of CO2 in Europe. The potential storage capacity of hydrocarbon fields and aquifers will be determined for the following countries: UK, Eire, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Luxembourg, Norway, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece. 3. Evaluation of safety and stability problems. This will include a study of: Possible escape mechanisms. The potential effects of escapes. Methods of monitoring stored CO2. Parameters that should be monitored during storage. Transport properties of CO2 in caprocks. Analysis and selection of geophysical techniques suitable to define the existence and geometry of a potential structure for CO2 disposal. Feasibility of microseismic monitoring. 4. Reservoir modelling and enhanced hydrocarbon recovery. Simulation of EOR from the injection of CO2 into oil fields. Comparison of CO2 injection with other methods of EOR. Define ways of optimizing EOR and CO2 storage capacity in oil fields. Refine storage capacity estimates. 5. Inorganic Geochemistry. Analysis of chemical and physical effects of CO2 injection into potential reservoirs. 6. Techno-economic modelling. This will develop a general model which can be used to evaluate the economics of underground disposal of CO2 in onshore or offshore aquifers and hydrocarbon reservoirs.				F1

The main objective is to evaluate the effects of burning pulverised coal in oxygen enriched, recycled flue gas under atmospheric pressure. The effect of burning coal in the above described way on the combustion process is effectively unknown. Specific areas in the research relate to: – Flame stability and turndown – Pollutant formation (NOx, SOx and unburnt hydrocarbons) – Carbon in ash – Mineral matter transformations and ash deposition – Fly ash quality – Radiative properties of flames and in-furnace heat flux distributions. The above factors will be evaluated in terms of the following parameters: – Burner design and operation – Method of oxygen and recycled flue gas injection through the burner – Flue gas recycle ratio – Recycled flue gas temperature – Coal type To underpin the experimental programmes, mathematical modelling will be performed. This will allow extrapolation of the results obtained in the experiments to conditions not studied directly in this programme such as operation at higher pressure. Input conditions for the mathematical model require that some complementary coal characterisation studies will be necessary. The results of this programme will enable the viability of employing this advanced combustion technology to be evaluated, particularly in terms of application of the technology to existing power plant in retrofit situation. Experimentation will be performed at 2.5 MW total thermal input, using an IFRF furnace facility. This furnace is a segmental, watercooled, refractory lined chamber of internal dimensions of 2x2x6.25 m. Within the furnace, cooling surfaces are installed to extract in a controlled manner to simulate the temperature-time history of furnace gases in a full scale utility boiler. Complementary mathematical modelling studies will be performed using the in-house computations fluid dynamic code ‘FLUENT’.				1

Although the case for any enhanced greenhouse effect due to carbon dioxide is not proven, it is prudent to investigate options for minimising the release of all man-made greenhouse gases. The objectives are to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of using membrane separation for the removal of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel derived fuel gas. In addition, issues associated with the scale-up/engineering of candidate systems will be investigated. In Europe, fossil fuel-fired systems will continue to play a major role in the energy scene for the forseeable future. Many research and demonstration projects are underway to provide high efficiency plants which will lead to reduced carbon dioxide emissions per unit of electricity produced. However, if a man-made greenhouse effect proves to be a significant problem, it is likely that further reductions in carbon dioxide emissions will be demanded. One option is to remove the carbon dioxide so that it can be stored (e.g. underground or at the bottom of the ocean). A number of technologies exist for the removal of carbon dioxide from process gases. Studies have indicated that membrane separation of hydrogen from synthesis gas produced from an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) with a water gas shift reactor has the potential to give the highest overall plant efficiency. Membranes have been used extensively for liquid:liquid and gas:gas separation purposes and various, well understood approaches have been developed. Hydrogen separation is already carried out on the industrial scale using polymer or palladium/silver membranes. Ceramic membranes are also under development for this purpose. All of these options have the potential to be adapted to power generation. It is expected that the outcome of this project will be proof of the concept of using membrane separation for carbon dioxide removal, the identification of suitable membrane systems and the determination of membrane characteristics and operating limitations. In addition, a detailed analysis of the scale-up/engineering issues associated with the candidate systems will be investigated to provide the information required for a full economic assessment.				1

The presence of such components in significant concentration (typically higher than 5%) reduces the heating value of the gas and results in specifications unsuitable with existing transmission and distribution systems for commercial gas So far, less than 10% of natural gas wells containing N2 large contents are produced as cryogenic processes for N2 removal are rarely implemented on production sites due to their high capital cost For small quantities of CO2 removal (<10%), amine absorption is widely used on sites; for larger amounts, alternative low temperature processes (such as RyanHolmes) lead to prohibitive capital costs. Therefore there is a strong industrial need of innovative and low cost processes for the on-site N2 and CO2 removal from low Btu natural gas. This is exactly the purpose of this project to develop an innovative adsorption based process that will offer a realistic and cost efficient solution for the production of high content N2 or CO2 natural gas reserves whose exploitation has so far remained hindered due to the lack of adapted process to make the produced gas fit pipelines specifications. To reach this industrial objective, it is necessary: to develop a highly selective and low cost adsorbent (clinoptilolite natural zeolite), to develop an innovative adsorption process (PSA technology), to define innovative natural gas treatment schemes including developed adsorption unit These technological objectives will lead to a competitive process by achieving the following targets: Š the product gas will reach pipeline specifications having a minimum heating value of 960 BTU/SCF (35 8 MJ/m3 (st)) and containing at the most 4% mol. N2 and 2% mol. CO2 (maximum allowable). Š the natural gas recovery will be in the range of 90-95 % mol. according to the feed inert content Š the cost reduction will be (for a medium size plant capacity of 2.5Mm3(st)/d and compared to actual processes) for a N2 (>l0%) removal unit, the reduction is estimated to around 20 % on CAPEX and 30% on OPEX for a CO2 (>10%) removal unit, the reduction is estimated to around 20 % on OPEX. in the case of simultaneous N2 and CO2 removal, for a natural gas that contains l0% of N2 and 10% of CO2, the cost reduction is estimated to be higher than 50 % on both CAPEX and OPEX.This important benefit will result from the global approach of the ADPRONAG process which integrates the two separations in a single unit The success of this ADPRONAG project will lead to an innovative process that will enable the exploitation of high content N2 and CO2 gas reservoirs and consequently contribute to the increase of the supply and to the security supply in natural gas for the European Community, while taking care of the environment.

Beginning in 1996, 1 million tons of CO2 per year has been stored at the Statoil operated Sleipner Field in the North Sea. This is the first case of industrial scale CO2 storage in the world. Being the first case, careful depth of approximately 1 kilometer, called the ‘Utsira’ formation, of Miocene age. Data will be collected to model and verify the distribution of the CO2 ‘bubble’ for three years, and demonstrate prediction methods for the destiny of the CO2 for many years into the future. The project will also provide scientific documentation of CO2 storage as a method, which may be applied in other geographical areas and by other industries such as power generation. In concert with national resource authorities, the project will develop a first draft of a ‘Best Practice Manual’ – A best-practice-manual comprising evaluation procedures on the feasibility of CO2 storage in other areas. – The project will generate a working methodology for evaluation of subsurface CO2 storage from a technical and an environmental point of view, in order to satisfy authorithies and the general public as to the feasibility, safety, and reliability of the CO2 storage process. No result yet, but the project partners ran a pre-project ‘Task Zero’. It catalogued all available data about the Miocene sands, the ‘Utsira’ and its equivalents around the North sea. This project is structured in phases : each covering the work, budget and schedule of a set of defined tasks. The phasing is necessary for funding reasons. The tasks will be executed partly in parallel, partly in sequence. Each task is assigned to one institute with defined work content, budget and schedule. Other industries may support the task responsible. Because of the iterative nature of modeling the different areas, some tasks are time staggered. Main work areas : 1. Geological modeling : collecting data from the region and build a geological model of ‘Utsira’ and caprock. 2. Reservoir simulation : Based on fluid and rock properties model the spread of CO2 ‘bubble’ in ‘Utsira’ formation. 3. Geochemical studies : Laboratory experiments will establish base for later geochemical/flow model development. 4. Monitoring well : Evaluate needs and define specifications for a possible future monitoring well. 5. Geophysical monitoring : Seismic and gravimetric time-lapse data collection will check viability of these methods for a CO2-water-system and give reference for evaluation of available geological and reservoir models. 6. Best Practice Manual : In addition to reporting results, a first draft of a ‘Best Practice Manual’ will be made; It will be made in close co-ordination with national resource authorithies in NO, DK, NL, FR(?) and UK.

In addition, their simple design enables straightforward expansion of capacity. In particular, micro or mesoporous ceramic membranes offer the potential to overcome the limitations of polymeric membrane systems in terms of thermal and mechanical stability, chemical/physical degradation, operation at high temperatures, etc. In this respect, the aim of the present project is to develop a novel method of zeolite membrane fabrication and exploit some of the inherent and unique advantages of this membrane.

For example it will study the recovery of carbon dioxide from: conventional coal fired plant using a scrubber system, conventional coal fired plant with oxygen enriched air feed, combined cycle coal combustion plants, where fluidised bed gasification and combustion and gas turbines are used. This study will include an appraisal of the options available for the safe disposal of the liquid carbon dioxide so produced. 2) The Eclipse package will be modified so that it can used to predict the performance of planned or existing chemical process plant, particularly oil refineries, under conditions of changing feedstock or product slate. These types of changes could be envisaged if, for example, there were a change from oil based feedstock to coal based feedstock. This work involves changing the program so that the critical operating parameters of existing process plant can be measured and then used to predict how this plant would operate under different conditions and extending the chemical compounds database to include oil fractions and ensuring that the methods used to predict their properties are the ones recommended by API.

The overall objective of the present project is to explore the use of CO2, Steam and Argon mixtures as working agent in power cycles, and as gasification agent in coal/lignite gasification. The incentive for the use of such mixtures is the possibility to capture CO2 in a way which is believed to be competitive with other options such as CO2 recovery from stacks, fuel reforming or application of the shift reaction. The use of semi-closed cycles running on CO2 rather than on steam or gas is not new, but it never reached any realisation phase. This is mainly due to i) the cost of separating oxygen, ii) the need for specially developed oxyfuel burners and gasifiers and iii) the need for specially designed turbo machines. The actual CO2 mitigation problem is however a strong incentive to reexamine the idea of the CO2 cycle, since a CO2-rich excess gas can easily be captured. The present project analyses Combined, Steam injected (STIG) and Evaporative gas turbine cycles (HAT) in which Nitrogen is replaced by CO2 in a semi-closed cycle, and compares these options with the other potential routes such as the CO2 capture from stacks. Both direct firing (natural gas) and gasification (peat/coal) are considered. Different cycle lay outs are proposed and analyzed for efficiency and techno-economical feasibility. Adapted oxyfuel burners are designed and tested on a 100 kWth scale. The adaptations required for CO2 gas turbines are assessed. Thermogravimetric analysis of coal/lignite gasification in different CO2/steam/argon mixtures are performed. Fluidized bed gasification in such mixtures is realized on lab scale. Problems of gas cleaning and CO2 purification are analyzed.

The project concentrates on studies and investigations of technologies to reduce or eliminate such emissions from coal-fired power generation systems. The objectives of this project are to develop a process for cost-effective and energy-efficient hydrogen recovery from coal-derived gases as a means of carbon dioxide control by combining the water gas shift and hydrogen separation steps in one catalytic (ceramic) membrane reactor unit. The specific aim of Phase I is to prove the feasibility of such a process development. Conventional approaches for CO2 control in Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle power plants (IGCC) generally consist of a separate multistage shift reactor to convert CO with steam to CO2 and H2 followed by a low temperature CO2 removal process. A promising approach lies in the combination of the water gas shift reaction with continuous hydrogen separation from the reaction mixture. By using selective membranes, combined with a catalyst active to the shift reaction, the equilibrium production of H2 from coal gas can be enhanced, resulting in system simplification and decreased steam/CO ratio. This should lead to a lower efficiency penalty and is thus considered to be an economically attractive alternative. Within the project six tasks can be 1. System Integration studies: IGCC-WIHYS system configurations will be evaluated and an estimation will be given of the total system efficiency and cost effectivity of CO2 control with WIHYS in the chosen design point. 2. Catalyst Research: Catalysts and catalytic membranes will be screened and investigated in a small scale research reactor. 3. Membrane research: Fabrication and characterisation of (catalytic) gas separation membranes. 4. Modelling: Different membrane reactor options will be scouted. Furthermore models, which can describe the flow and heat and mass transfer phenomena in the membrane reactor, are built. 5. WIHYS Laboratory Reactor: An ‘optimum’ reactor will be designed and constructed according to the most promising configurations, from a materials and engineering point of view. In order to prove the feasibility of the principle, experiments will be performed. Data gathered concerning reactor performance, will be used for the drafting of a preliminary full scale process design. 6. Process Evaluation: A preliminary conceptual process design, including investment and running cost estimation, will be prepared in order to evaluate the full-scale implications of the process. The technical feasibility of the process development will be evaluated.

The objective of this project is to assess new power plant combined cycle schemes with coal fired pressurized fluidised bed combustor (PFBC) featuring an afterburner for maximum power raising efficiency. A two-pronged approach will be followed studying either short term solutions deploying existing gas turbine machinery only or longer term concepts using recycled flue gas/oxygen mixtures as oxidant in order to facilitate removal of carbon dioxide from the flue gas. The scope of work can be detailed into the following areas: – Technical conception of four increasingly advanced hybrid combined cycle process arrangements, including a careful check of feasibility and/or availability of plant components, modelling of the main process components and prediction of part load behaviour. – Technical assessment of these cycle arrangements comprising optimisation of the design configurations, evaluation of power raising efficiency, of the coal/natural gas ratio required and of the savings in CO2 emissions that can be achieved with this technology. – Economic assessment of the cycles proposed providing an evaluation of the various costs involved and of the break even point for the electricity cost of the different schemes. – Evaluation of combustion behaviour in fluidised bed combustion of coals at substoichiometric conditions, e.g. ignition, carbon burn-out, fluidisation of the bed, sulphur capture effectiveness, formation of oxides of nitrogen. – Investigation of the burn-out of the produced gas, e.g. achievable temperatures, oxidant/lean gas mixing, CO and NOx emission levels. – Study of the influence of residual particulate loadings in the produced gas on the process, e.g. emissions of SO2, fouling, final gas clean-up options. – Pilot scale tests of coal combustion in oxygen/recycled flue gas mixtures in order to provide scale up information. – Identification of research and development work required for the realisation of the various technologies investigated in this project including gas processing, CO2 handling operations and material considerations.

The project concentrates on studies and investigations of technologies to reduce or eliminate such emissions from coal-fired power generation systems. This project aims at providing the basis for planning and design of coal-fired combined cycle power generation systems for CO2 emission control and minimum noxious gas emission, to estimate costs and to show ways of carbon dioxide capture and dumping or utilization. The efficiency obtained from the IGCC with CO2 separation was about 40%, based on current IGCC plants with modern gas turbine generators. This is within the efficiency range of conventional coal-fired power plants, but is about 6% lower than an IGCC plant without CO2 removal. Capital investment needed to incorporate the CO2 removal components added about 10% (50 million ECU) onto investment costs for a commercial 300 MWe IGCC. Electricity generation costs were increased by 18% compared with those of an IGCC without CO2 removal, and were 30% higher compared with a conventional modern steam power plant. These costs rise to 50% if the CO2 is extracted as a liquid. Overall, the costs of CO2 emission avoidance were calculated to be 20-40 ECU/t CO2. The only market identified for CO2 utilisation was the transport sector, where CO2 could contribute to the production of synthetic methanol/gasoline to substitute for mineral oil derivatives. Allocating the CO2 removal costs to the electricity generating costs results in gasoline costs near to present market prices including tax. A survey of fossil fuel-fired multicycle power generation systems which are qualified for CO2 control will be elaborated. Two variants of process schemes will be investigated in more detail: – coal gasification with oxygen, CO/steam shift conversion, H2 /CO2 separation, combustion of hydrogen with air – coal gasification and combustion with oxygen, CO2 turbine and CO2 recycling. Both variants are applicable to the combined cycle or to even more advanced multicycle systems. The systems are complex and optimization involves gasification, gas clean-up, gas separation, gas/steam turbine plants, heat integration and CO2 removal. The investigation of appropriate gas clean up and gas separation systems will include the compilation of all gas cleaning options related to IGCC concepts, the evaluation of sorption type processes in viewpoint of simultaneous H2S and CO2 removal must be considered with respect to the disposal, i.e. whether CO2 is removed in the gaseous or liquid state or even as dry ice. The investigations involve mathematical modelling, thermodynamical, chemical and thermal engineering analyses, an appraisal of materials, turbo machinery and performance. The programme includes also the elaboration of flow schemes for pre-basic design of the aforementioned selected power plant processes, cost analyses of such power plants and of the avoidance of CO2 emissions, respectively.

The objectives are to study experimentally at pilot scale the concept of firing combustion plant with oxygen and recycled flue gas with regard to flame stability, gaseous emissions, heat transfer, fly ash properties, deposition and sulphur build-up and to undertake techno-economic assessment of processes to remove CO2 from flue gas based upon the findings of the experimental study. Two process schemes were developed for flue gas treatment. One involved the recovery of pure CO2, the second was a minimum treatment scheme. On technical, environmental and economic grounds the process which used low purity oxygen and has minimum flue gas treatment was the best option. However, although this process eliminated CO2 emissions completely, it reduced the efficiency by 8.5%, increased the total capital cost by 50%, increased specific investment by 90% and increased the break-even electricity selling price by 55% compared with a standard air-fired power plant. The elimination of nitrogen from combustion processes by firing with oxygen and recycled flue gas results in a substantial reduction in the downstream processing required to subsequently remove the carbon dioxide produced. The project aims to provide experimental data with regard to the combustion process, gaseous emissions, ash properties, ash deposition and heat transfer so as to allow better technical assessment of retrofittable processes for the removal of carbon dioxide from the flue gas of coalfired furnaces. The following tasks will be undertaken during the course of the project: 1. Modify the 150 kW Clean Coal Combustion Test Facility of Babcock Energy Limited to burn pulverized coal in an oxygen/recycled flue gas environment. 2. Undertake testing on the 150 kW facility under varying process conditions to establish the effects of flue gas recycle relative to conventional combustion. 3.

The objective is to investigate the potential for the use of recycled flue gases and oxygen injection in a large scale atmospheric coal burner designed to produce combustion products which are more suitable for treatment in carbon dioxide reduction processes. The main issues associated with retrofit conversion of an existing coal-fired boiler were identified, including boiler start-up and change-over, retrofit changes to boiler configuration and equipment, and air leakage into the furnace. This last was found to be the most significant practical obstacle to successful oxygen/flue gas recirculation operation. Ultra low air ingress levels are needed to maintain CO2 concentrations high enough for efficient operation of the flue gas liquefaction process. Existing balanced draught boilers cannot deliver such low ingress levels unless they are modified to pressurised furnace operation, which would cause significant financial and technical repercussions. Overall thermal efficiency was predicted to fall from 37% for a conventional system to 23%, mainly because of the power consumption of the oxygen separation and CO2 liquefaction plants. The combustion of fossil fuels is one of the main sources of global atmospheric pollution. Improvements in air quality have been achieved by using a combination of low NOx burners, catalysts, flue gas desulphurisation and cleaner fuels. Looking forward towards a cleaner, less polluting environment, attention is now concentrated on reducing the emissions of gases which contribute to global warming. The combustion of pulverised coal for large scale power generation will continue for the foreseeable future and this project will study the opportunities for reducing pollution from existing atmospheric systems. This project will examine the combustion of pulverised coal in an atmosphere of recycled flue gas with oxygen injection and measurements will be taken of efficiency, pollutants and suitability for installation in a wide variety of burner sizes in existing large scale boilers. Particular attention will be given to ensure that new pollutants, such as those produced by combustion at low temperature, are minimised. The investigations will commence on small scale flames, a burner will be specifically developed using a combination of mathematical and physical modelling techniques. The performance of the small flame will be measured in detail and information obtained on the chemical species produced in both the near burner region and those emitted from the furnace outlet. Sufficient data will be gathered to ensure that the additional routines needed in the mathematical code will be validated and be used to scale up the burner to ten megawatts. This large scale burner will be evaluated on the combustion test facilities at Derby.

Potential industrial applications of the gas separating membranes to be developed in the proposed project will cover a wide range of different fields. Examples are: carbondioxide separation from methane (natural gas sweetening, landfill gas treatment), carbondioxide/hydrogen separation (steam reforming of hydrocarbons), carbondioxide/nitrogen separation (flue gases, off gases from gas turbines), carbondioxide separation in life support systems (diving chambers, space crafts) and medical applications ( separation from nitrous oxide or xenon in anaesthesia gas loops). The separation of carbondioxide from methane is the only application where larger membrane areas are already installed. Nevertheless, conventional absorption processes are still dominant in this area mainly because of the unsufficient selectivity of todays membranes. For other gas separations like the industrial relevant carbondioxide separation from hydrogen or nitrous oxide no membrane systems at all are installed on a technical scale because the separation effiency is much too poor. The most promissing way to enhance the carbondioxide selectivity of membranes significantly is the introduction of specific carriers for carbondioxide (facilitated transport). It is well known that amines can react reversibly with carbondioxide. This reaction has been utilized earlier as a mobile carrier for carbondioxide through membranes. Although carbondioxide selectivities up to 600 have been obtained, these membrane have never been applied in technical applications because of their limited stability. In this project it is planned to develop membranes with covalently bound carriers. These covalently bound carriers especially primary and secondary amine groups can be much more effective in technical membranes than mobile carries. Such fixed site carrier membranes would show the mechanical stability characteristic of the known polymeric membranes and they might also exhibit the high selectivity of the liquid and gel membranes that can show facilitated transport. The central tasks of this project will be the development of amine functional polymers with high and reversible carbondioxide sorption capacity and the preparation of composite membranes fom these polymers. The objective is the development of novel membranes with very high selectivities for carbondioxide. The carbondioxide selectivity compared with gases like nitrogen, oxygen, methane, hydrogen, nitrous oxide and xenon should exceed 200. The fluxes to be achieved should be high enough to render the membrane process competetive with conventional separation processes. The minimum carbondioxide flux to be aimed at is 0.1m3/m2 h bar. Selected polymers will also be testet to replace conventional adorbers in pressure swing adsorption and to replace sodalime in closed loop breathing systems. Theoretical modeling and process design will be another important part of this project. This is especially required because the mass transport through fixed carrier membranes is not well understood . A theoretical analysis of the critical parameters for reactive diffusion will help to taylor better polymers. With a successfully developed membrane the industrial opportunities will be very promissing. Even if only a small fraction of the more than 1 billion m3 in Europe annual produced carbondioxide/hydrogen mixture will be separated by membrane technology this would be a huge membrane application. The potential market in natural gas cleaning is even larger. Also the small scale applications are promissing which can be demonstrated for the case of carbondioxide separation from anaesthesia gas loops in hospitals. More than 63000 anaesthetic devices are in use in Europe, which in principle could all be equiped with membrane systems.

Global Ocean Storage of Anthropogenic Carbon (GOSAC) Summary: This study has three primary objectives: (1) to better quantify past, present, and future C02 uptake by the ocean, which is limited by relatively slow natural processes; (2) to evaluate global aspects of the proposal which offers to artificially accelerate ocean storage of C02 by diverting C02 emissions from fossil-fuel fired power plants directly into the abyss, thereby short-circuiting the natural process; and (3) to assess if predictions stemming from the first two objectives are reasonable, by paying close attention to model validation. Here, seven independantly developed 3-D ocean models from Europe jointly seek European Community support to participate in the Ocean Carbon-Cycle Model Intercomparison Project (OCMIP), an IGBP/GAIM initiative begun in 1995 to compare and validate ocean carbon-cycle models of the global ocean (Objective 1). Support is further sought to use these same models to assess one potential means to help mitigate increasing concentrations of atmospheric C02: deep-ocean C02 disposal (Objective 2). Model validation (Objective 3) is necessary to determine if any envelope of model predictions is likely to bracket real ocean behavior. The ocean is by far the largest reactive reservoir of carbon on earth. Most anthropogenic C02 will one day be stored there, despite relatively slow oceanic uptake which cannot keep pace with excess C02 emissions to the atmosphere. Ocean models provide the best means to assess past and present oceanic C02 uptake; they provide the only means to predict future changes. Comparison and validation of global ocean models is crucial to improving the large uncertainties associated with our understanding of the ocean’s role in the global carbon cycle. Well validated ocean models offer our only tool to assess how ocean uptake will change due to future changes in ocean chemistry, biology, and circulation. This effort will assess how changes in ocean carbonate chemistry will effectively reduce oceanic uptake, and how differences in biology and circulation between some of the models may affect results. Ocean models have shown that certain strategies to artificially enhance ocean C02 uptake, such as iron fertilization, would be inefficient at sequestering additional C02; conversely, direct injection of excess C02 appears promising, but only one 3-D model has begun to assess its effectiveness.
