Molecules to Circular Energy Generation at Scale

Project description

Novel framework boosts circular economy in the energy

The energy market is highly volatile; uncertainty shocks such as price fluctuations and policy changes are common, negatively affecting energy consumers. To boost the efficiency and sustainability of the European energy economy, the MoCEGS project will develop a planning framework incorporating data-driven process integration, process network analysis and chemometrics. Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, MoCEGS aims to optimise energy trading, improve circular economy, mitigate uncertainty shocks and leverage chemical systems. The proposed framework will reduce computational time and enhance high data resolution.

Objective

In the energy market, uncertainty shocks such as price fluctuations and policy changes often occur, resulting in top-down negative effects to energy consumers. To promote a more robust, efficient and sustainable European energy economy, the MoCEGS project proposes a multi-level top-down energy planning approach incorporating data-driven process integration, process network analysis and chemometrics as core components. MoCEGS project aims to optimize energy trading, improve system circularity, mitigate uncertainty shocks, and exploit chemical utilization via a unique energy planning framework. The difficulty of developing such a modelling framework is the necessary computational resources and the multidisciplinary expertise involved. The MoCEGS project is planned with high-performance computational facilities and multi-disciplinary training, which also includes a secondment to a different European country. The advantage of proposed approach is that computational time is reduced and also enables high data-resolution. This approach also converts the traditionally linear economy consideration to circular economy consideration via multi-level process integration. The ultimate goal is to link collaborative minds of cross-disciplinary researchers in developing an integrative energy planning framework that will be widely-used to promote energy circularity, address epistemic uncertainty and achieve regional sustainability.
