Deliverables

Documents, reports (5)

Scientific & Technical management report I

Initial report on scientific and technical matters, as addressed in WPs 2, 3, 4 and 5, related to the implementation of the project. It is produced as part of T1.2 and elaborates on the progress, findings and challenges faced by the Work Package Leaders while recommendations are also formulated.

Requirements traceability matrix for the new-concept, single-tube reactor.

The deliverable includes a set of requirements and specifications needed for the reactor design. It is produced by T3.1.

Report on assumptions and scenarios

In a short document, the main methods for the life cycle sustainability assessment, the set of scenarios, and the scalability assumptions will be defined for further analysis. The deliverable is produced by T5.1.

Level 1 Single-tube reactor 15mL.

D3.2 includes the design and P&I drawings of the 15-mL, single-tube reactor, as well as the delivered constructed reactor ready for experimental studies. It is produced by T3.2.

PEDR I

The deliverable consists of the initial PEDR of the project. It identifies key stakeholder groups with engagement strategies and tactics.
