Abstract:

The project aims to design a carbon dioxide methanizer for low carbon energy systems sustainable development. The experimental model shall be validated through particular testing and validation procedures. Furthermore, innovative integration perspectives will be investigated in order to ensure depolluting of traditional fuel fed plants. Thus, the current proposal falls within the scope of Eco-nano-technologies and advanced materials domain, Decontaminating technologies subdomain. Enabling the power sector transition towards reduced emissions generation is a highly complex matter. In a greater environmentally restricted and increasingly uncertain power generation context, the project addresses the design and validation of methanation tank possibly coupled to a diesel generator, considering a further innovative and integrative approach within hybrid energy systems. Sustainable development is tackled worldwide, regulatory and decision factors leading towards higher levels of energy security and climate change mitigation, mostly through measures comprising RES integration, decarbonization facilities implementation and technology efficiency improvement. Low CO2 emissions power generation scenarios are thoroughly investigated, most of the time comprising decarbonization installations. CO2 utilization, not widely employed currently, reduces the need of its storage (from CCS approach). Therefore, CO2 methanation represents a better alternative to reduce harmful emissions and tackle with multiple safety and economic issues related to the storage section of a CCS installations. Moreover, the project aims an innovative approach in the field of decarbonization technologies, both nationally and worldwide, further research and demonstration being required. The scope of the project follows a multi-perspective sustainable development pathway, its outcomes contributing to improve the actual energy framework.

Abstract:

The HORESEC project supports intelligent specialization in the energy field through a holistic analysis of renewable energy sources impact on climate change and on each other, fulfilling the objectives of sustainable development as well as advanced and progressive knowledge. Accelerate integration of RES set a new world record regarding grid’s capacity to absorb intermittent energy, which is specific to renewable energy production, was driven by a fast reduction of related technologies expenses. Increased share of RES in energy production greatly complicates the operation of current systems requiring new long-term storage solutions, developed in the HORESEC project. It will be carried out on a pilot plant test solutions for dynamic adaptation of the system to increase RES share in the energy production, including long-term storage solutions. The objectives are: Establishing the main climatological and environmental parameters with impact on RES and reciprocally. By realizing the mathematical model of the analyzed factors evolution, will be identified the climatological, environmental and social indicators associated with the RES dynamics, which will be subsequently verified on the developed pilot installation; Efficiency of energy production through new technologies and algorithms to optimize the RES response by developing new methods and measurement models; By analyzing complex compounds of biofuels, will be defined a matrix of biofuels, which shall be tested on a pilot combustion plant and on a diesel engine with the aim of obtaining new patentable technologies. The use of biomass will take place in an integrated stream with the production and storage of hydrogen and methanisation and ultimately sustainable reduction of CO2 emissions; Finding innovative storage solutions for medium and long term; Demonstration of project feasibility through experimental determinations on a pilot plant, facilitating the acquisition of research results by the industrial environment.
