The purpose of the research program is firstly Experimental Development of a new concept of thermal heat pump for residential heating market, reducing fuel consumption from current and condensing boilers by 25 to 50% and secondly Industrial Research leading to the definition of a micro-cogeneration
Electrical/CSEM methods for monitoring the CO2 and application to the Hontomín pilot site (Spain) – EM-HONTOMIN
The project “EM-Hontomín” proposes to continue the development of controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) methods for CO2 monitoring initiated within former projects of each partner and to test/validate these methods on the Hontomín pilot injection site (Spain) were 100 kt of CO2 will be injected a
Compact Evaporator for Sorption Systems – ECOSS
This project aims to focus on compact evaporator in sorption system using water as refrigerant in order to give guidelines to design them properly. Indeed, the interest in these systems has grown again those last years as they can use solar energy or waste heat as main energy source. However, their
Degradation of Amines in Liquid Matrix and Analysis : Toxicity or Innocuousness for ENvironment? – DALMATIEN
CO2 capture and storage is one of the promising technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To be used, this technology needs economic but also environmental acceptance. The industrial research project DALMATIEN provides elements needed to evaluate environmental acceptance of post-combustion CO
Advanced Control for Low Inerty Refrigeration System – ACLIRSYS
The ACLIRSYS project includes 4 industrial companies (two manufacturers of thermal equipments, CIAT and Cristopia, the European specialist of compressors for refrigeration systems, DANFOSS ,and CMDL MANASLU Ing., a company specialized in the energetic equipments for buildings) and 3 public research
Hydromechanical behaviour of Faults and Induced Seismicity under CO2 Injection Conditions – FISIC
Deep CO2 injection might influence the hydro-mechanical and chemical equilibrium of the storage system. On the one hand, the increase of pore pressure might impact the effective stress field acting the fault zones. On the other hand, the chemical reactions of CO2 with the minerals might induce a pos
MED seawater desalination using a low grade solar heat source – SOLMED
Process is based on low temperature multi-effect distillation (LT-MED) powered by a thermal solar collector field, or better, by heat recovery at the outlet of a solar power plant. Heat transfer surfaces are made of thin wall polymer tubes to ensure a high thermal duty in spite of low thermal conduc
Geo-structures, hybrid solar systems, energy storage : solution for energy positive buildings – GECKO
GECKO: geostructures and hybrid solar panel coupling for optimized energy storage. Solution for energy positive buildings. 2020 will lead to the generalisation of energy positive buildings, which is a technical and economic challenge. It makes it necessary to implement new solutions, potentially
Combining Process Optimization, Energy recovery and Exergy analysis for a better energy efficiency of industrial processes (Version 2) – COOPERE-2
In a global context of GreenHouse Gas (GHG) emissions reduction and a high increase rate of energy prices, energy efficiency investments for optimizing industrial processes often go through a complex and difficult decision making process. This project proposes the development of a software platform
Inter-Seasonal Solar Heat Storage Process - 2 – PROSSIS2
In France, the energy consumption of buildings has increased by 8% each year for the last thirty years. Buildings are responsible for 42% of the energy consumption and 23% of the total CO2 emissions. Heating represents more than half of the final energy consumption in France (83.7 Mtep in 2007) and
Potential impacts of CO2 geological storage on groundwater quality – CIPRES
France is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions, which in particular includes the transposition of the European Directive on the geological storage of CO2. Indeed, groundwater protection is not explicitly taken into account in the European Directive on CO2 storage. The main actions ment
High temperature volumetric solar absorbers with controlled optical properties – OPTISOL
The OPTISOL project aims to increase the competitiveness of solar thermal power plant by increasing the solar conversion efficiency at high temperature in particular through the implementation of combined cycles. The key component of such solar processes is the solar receiver that must delivers air
