Adapting T. reesei cellulolytic enzymes for Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation – ACTIFE
The advent of a non-food biomass to ethanol industry (2nd generation ethanol) is a significant challenge for the transport sector. In this production process, pretreated plant biomass is hydrolysed by enzymes produced by a filamentous fungus, Trichoderma reesei. These enzymes cut cellulose into suga
Gouvernance des systèmes urbains pour une ville résiliente – RESILIS
Cities are becoming more and more complex with social interactions, high degree of connectivity and competitiveness objectives. If urbanity results from resources accumulation, power concentration, territory attractiveness and culture, it is also a risk producer. Risk management is mainly focused on
Innovations pour la gestion durables de l'eau en ville - connaissance et maîtrise de la contamination des eaux pluviales urbaines. – INOGEV
The reduction of pollutant discharges to limit their impact on the environment is a major preoccupation of most cities. Indeed, urban discharges are considered as a major cause of the deterioration observed in receiving waters. Water regulation is becoming more and more stringent. Especially, the Wa
Electricity storage by means of compressed air with compression heat recovery – SEARCH
Respecting European objectives in terms of reducing greenhouse gases entails the fast development of electricity generation from renewable energy sources and nuclear energy. The fluctuating and intermittent character of renewable energy sources and the high modulation costs of nuclear power stations
In-situ measurement and design of the electronic conductivity at all scales of a composite electrode for lithium battery – CALICE
The development of new lithium batteries with high energy density, high power and high cyclability is targeted. To reach this long-term goal, a fundamental understanding of the so called “formulation” of the composite electrode, i.e. the relationships between its processing, its morphology at differ
Fruit Integrative Modelling – ERASYsBIO (ANR-09-SYSB-0003)
Commercial fruit production is under significant pressure from environmental stresses, but also by changes in the consumer’s demand for taste and nutritional value. One key goal of fruit biology is therefore to understand the factors that influence metabolite levels. Both genetic and environmental f
Reliability and high torque and power density motor – REdHat_Motor
The electric driving chain constitutes a solution for mobility issues. For economic, ecologic and energy reasons, their power and their torque, with respect to their mass and volume, must be improved, and especially the electrical machines equipping the vehicles. The main goal of the project is to i
Multifrequency low temeprature plasma at atmospheric pressure and metallic salt for a onde step nanocomposite thin film process, safe by design: application to plasmonic and magnetic nanocomposite – PLASSEL
PLASSEL aims to develop a low cost, one step, process able to prepare polymer/metal nanocomposite (NCs) thin films, with well-controlled properties on large surface substrates. This safe by design process at low environmental impact will be developed for gold plasmonic and nickel magnetic NCs. Its o
Heterofunctional Porous Catalysts for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction in Alkaline Electrolyzers – HYKALIN
Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis (AEMWE) is a very promising technology for producing clean H2 at a target cost of 2 $/kg. Like Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis (PEMWE), this membrane-based technology has the advantages of an “all solid” system (coupling with intermittent energy
Electroleaching-Electrodeposition For recovery of Precious metals from electrical / electronic equipments – EE4Precious
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipments (WEEE), and especially Printed Circuit Boards (PCB), represent a secondary resource rich in precious metals (PM). So-called “rich” PCB (laptops, smartphones, tablets, data centers…) contain typically 50-100 ppm of Platinum Group Metals (PGM), and 50-500 ppm
