Links to deliverables and publications from FP7 projects, as well as links to some specific result types such as dataset and software, are dynamically retrieved from OpenAIRE .

Deliverables

Documents, reports (6)

Report on synergies with relevant initiatives, projects and programmes

A Synergy Action Plan will be produced during M6. The Action Plan will be updated once per year during the project lifetime. This task aims to establish links with similar or complementary local, national or international EU-funded projects and initiatives, in particular those for the same call but also similar projects under previous H2020 calls.

Report on carbon market potential and business opportunities

SEID will assess the different industrial pathways of solid carbon and how to maximise their economics, targeting high-value carbon structures and how this stream of raw materials can create new carbon-based applications

Techno-economic assessment

A TEA will be conducted to ensure that our technology renders the best path to commercialisation of the innovations. The development of the economic potential of the carbon particles generated from the new solution will be evaluated to know its valuable end-use, which allows us to research the potential market/s and identification of the best opportunities.

Communication and dissemination final report

Reports about communication actions implemented including assessment of their impact will be delivered at M24 and M42. The DEC strategy will be a two-way process between ColdSpark and the targeted groups, KPIs will be defined to monitor the effectiveness of the communication (e.g., number of people reached, number of likes, etc.).

Project management manual (quality management)

This will ensure efficient administrative and budgetary management and control and manage the overall operational delivery and ensure work plan project objectives and outcomes are met thus ensuring quality management

Basic Aspen/Hysys models for lab and large-scale prototypes based on results from WP1 and WP2, WP4

The industrialscale system design will be based on flow process modelling AspenHYSYS for the complete methane cracking plant with ColdSpark reactor gas separation and H2purification systems

Data Management Plan (3)

Data Management plan (M42)

The data management plan will outline how research data is collected or generated and will be handled during and after the project, and will be submitted in M42.

Data Management Plan (M24)

The Data Management Plan (DMP) describes the project data management policy and specify any data sets that may endure embargo or be kept from publication.

Data Management Plan (M6)

Europroject together with the SEID will develop the data management policy of the project and will work closely with the partners to identify datasets produced taking into consideration any issues of ethics privacy confidentiality and IPR protection EP will elaborate in close consultation with SEID the Data Management Plan DMP describing the project data management policy and specify any data sets that may endure embargo or be kept from publication
