Decarbonized liMe PrOduction through enhanced JoInt dielectric heaTing and waste carbonaceous material additiOn

Objective

The MOJITO project aims to validate a laboratory scale system for the production of decarbonised lime with reduced energy consumption and carbon emissions in the calcination process, while achieving CO2 removal. The system is based on an electrically powered rotary kiln that transfers heat in the calcining material by microwave and electrical heating.
Due to the capacity of microwaves to penetrate inside the limestone particles, the kiln will use lower temperatures with respect to standard systems. The input material will also be integrated with carbonaceous material for its ability to absorb electromagnetic energy and convert it to heat, thus improving the efficiency of the process. The CO2 produced by the calcination will be collected in an external vessel for further use in Carbon Capture and Storage (and Utilisation). Accurate atomistic computer simulations of the CaCO3 calcination process in realistic conditions through machine learning will be performed using a Tier-0 supercomputer, based on the understanding of the microscopic mechanisms at play. This will allow to study and design new solutions and the specific MOJITO systems. This enables the production of grade lime that satisfies up to 70% of market demand.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
