The DESTINY project aims to realize a functional, green and energy saving, scalable and replicable solution, employing microwave energy for continuous material processing in energy intensive industries. The target is to develop and demonstrate a new concept of firing granular feedstock for materials transformation using full microwave heating as alternative and complement to the existing conventional production. The DESTINY system is conceived as cellular kilns in mobile modular plant, with significant advantages in terms of resource and energy efficiency, flexibility, replicability and scalability with reduced environmental footprint.

Easy to transport, handle and install, lightweight components are being increasingly used in construction and infrastructure sectors, as well as in the aerospace, automotive and defence industries. Concrete and ceramics are the focus of interest due to their wide range of applications and durability. But their lightweight attributes need to be coupled with enhanced properties and multifunctionalities. The EU-funded LightCoce project will build an ecosystem for the upscaling of these materials and structures. To do this, it will provide open access to SMEs or industry to a single entry point ecosystem that will cover a range of end applications from construction materials (bricks, ceramic tiles) and infrastructures (ready mix concrete and prefabricated components) to high-tech applications in the automotive and aerospace industries.

With KRAFTBLOCK, economic energy storage and conversion becomes affordable for the first time. Our patented storage granule is produced from 85% upcycled blast furnace slag and a self-developed binding agent. With this patented granule, storage-capacity/m³ is increased by a factor of 10 while the storage price per MWh is reduced by a factor of 12. The granule is part of our energy storage system, which are stackable units of 60MWh, enabling heat-to-heat, heat-to-power, power-to-heat, and power-to-power operations in the steel, glass, ceramics, metal, cement, food and paper industry.

The topAM project develops new processing routes for oxide dispersion-strengthened alloys that consist of a metal matrix (FeCrAl, Ni and NiCu) with small oxide particles dispersed within it. Produced in powder form for additive manufacturing, these alloys offer a competitive advantage for use in the process industry thanks to good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties at high temperatures.

In the envisaged solar-Brayton cycle, supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) is used as working media. Concentrated solar radiation is absorbed and stored in solid particles until the heat is transferred to the sCO2. Unique properties of sCO2 (such as high density and low viscosity) allow reaching high efficiency of the energy conversion and very compact design of the components compared to conventional Rankine steam cycle. The EU-funded COMPASsCO2 project will integrate solar energy into sCO2 Brayton cycles for electricity production. The project will design, test and model tailored particle-alloy combinations able to face the extreme operating conditions regarding temperature, pressure, abrasion, oxidation and corrosion during the plant lifetime. Testing of the particle-sCO2 heat exchanger will validate the innovative materials developed.

HIPERMAT technical approach is going to be focused in the integration of the advanced design tools of materials and components to increase the success rate in material selection and final components durability. New high thermal and corrosion resistance alloys such as refractory stainless steel variants and other alloys to be used for protective layer application will be tested and validated through specific NDT and DT. High performance alloys are going to be used for final component manufacturing through cutting edge technologies such as LMD, Ceramic coatings and hidrosolidification. Once validated through NDT and DT controls, components are going to be integrated in real hot stamping furnaces and their performance is going to be monitored through a developed net of embedded sensors and advance data processing tools.

Energy-intensive industries (EIIs) need to significantly improve their energy efficiency, reduce CO2 emissions and resource use, and increase equipment lifetime. The EU-funded ACHIEF project will develop innovative solutions based on an artificial intelligence-combined modelling method to address extreme and fluctuating conditions characteristic of the EII sector. It will design and develop innovative high-temperature strength and creep resistance materials and protective coatings with improved high-temperature performance and corrosion features. Furthermore, advanced high-performance fibre optic temperature and strain sensors as well as corrosion sensors will be developed to evaluate the new materials in industrial applications. The project will also design a new high chromium steel grade with improved creep resistance. ACHIEF is a multidisciplinary project involving 11 EU partners from 7 countries.
