Consortium
ULHT/COFAC: COFAC COOPERATIVA DE FORMACAO E ANIMACAO CULTURAL CRL, Portugal
COFAC is the largest non-public University in Portugal. ULHT/COFAC participates in the project via a strong, experienced joint team from the Faculty of Engineering – Industrial Engineering Management group and Circular economy and Sustainability group – and from the Centre for Research in Applied Communication.
ULHT/COFAC team is a coordinator of the project and provides knowledge and skills in operation research in the directions of quality control, industrial design, risk assessment, multiply criteria analysis, and economic assessment. The main contribution is for WP4 Leading on Environmental & social-economic feasibility evaluation. Active participation of the team is also in WP3 Exploitation Strategy elaboration and for WP5/6 on Data Management & Communication.
RMA: ECOLE ROYALE MILITAIRE – KONINKLIJKE MILITAIRE SCHOOL, Belgium
University of the Belgian Defense, Royal Military Academy, Dept of Chemistry has strong expertise in energetic materials elaboration and applications for security, including nanoporous materials for gas-mask protection, with fundamental knowledge of the adsorption process.
RMA team leads comprehensive characterization/analysis of the elaborated materials and devices (WP2). In the frame of this work, RMA provides treatability studies on adsorption kinetics, thermodynamics and mechanism of the water vapor at the “gas-solid” interface, surface structural and energetical characteristics, and its potential for scalability.
CASCATACHUVA: CASCATACHUVA LDA, Portugal
CASCATACHUVA LDA, a project start-up, is created at the beginning of the project by key project actors in Portugal, strongly supported by the consortium’s Key Researchers and reinforced at the national level by a strategical partnership with the biggest scientific & technological TagusPark. Start-up acts as a flagman of the innovation aimed at its further development and sustainability after project execution in coordination with the project’s strategic partners.
CASCATACHUVA leads elaboration of the working cycle of the humidity to electricity device (WP3). It also provides knowledge/expertise in controlled materials molecular design, thermodynamics & kinetics of the adsorption process, including the water vapor mechanism on NMs and test devices (WP2) and all aspects of photochemistry, light energy conversion, nanoelectronics, advanced nanomaterials elaboration for environmental use, including renewable energy.
NANOMATERIALS R&D, Poland
SME NANOMATERIALS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT SP. Z O.O, (PL) is a manufacturing company, covering a broad spectrum of dispersive and pressed oxide nanomaterials. The company’s work directs the creation of nanopowders for research investigation.
The company propose a series of materials with pre-determined characteristics (sizes, phase and chemical composition, surface state, kind and amounts of different dopants). There are very important points for investigators: (i) study of structural parameters in dependence on types of bulk and surface structure defects, chemical and phase composition, size factor, kind of active surface centres, nature and amounts of dopants, other; (ii) investigation of the influence of structural parameters on functional characteristics of these materials.
The technology of chemical co-precipitation uses for the synthesis of oxide materials. The different metal salts and agents-precipitators are used to obtain materials as in amorphous and crystalline states. A volume of synthesised product is closed to semi-industrial (up to 10 kg in the month) and easily can be updated to industrial scale.
NANOTECH: NANOTECHCENTER LLC, Ukraine
NANOTECH is an industry-oriented SME from Ukraine, producer and market-supplier of the nanomaterials, including metals oxides nanopowders of various compositions, to the market of nanomaterials & nanotechnologies. SME NANOTECH leads the adaptation of the Lab-scale technology to industrial production standards of the converter-device elaboration (WP1-3) aimed at enabling scaling-up the lab-scale fabrication techniques to high-volume manufacturing. NANOTECHCENTER also takes an active part in business opportunities identification in WP5.
SYNYO: SYNYO GmbH, Austria
SYNYO GmbH is a highly dynamic enterprise that explores and develops novel methods, technologies, and solutions in various domains tackling societal, political, ecological, and economic challenges. SYNYO team leads the WP5 Dissemination and Exploitation (WP5) of the project and is involved in the Innovative Management (WP6). SYNYO analyses the impact of envisioned technology from different angles and from an interdisciplinary perspective.
LAVOLA: LAVOLA 1981 SAU, SPAIN
Lavola is a Spanish Company, a specialist in sustainability performance with proven software SimaPro & databases/LCA tools with users from both sectors in more than 80 countries worldwide. LAVOLA provides environmental sustainability research & consulting services and tools with regard to integrated Sustainable (economic, environmental & social) Life Cycle Assessment (SLCA) (WP4).
