Obiettivo
The development of a more efficient distributed electricity generation system is one environmentally friendly approach to the more effective utilisation of energy and, as a result, to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. Urban and agriculture areas can produce bio-fuel from municipal waste and biomass, both of which are important sources of renewable fuel. A hybrid system that combines Bio-fuels and Solid Oxide Fuel Cells with Micro Gas Turbines holds great promise as a distributed electricity generation system. Our research into the development of this process will involve a variety of branches of science and technology which are promising in the 21st century.
The combined knowledge and experience of the researchers from these fields will be introduced to enhance local scientific potential in the areas of: numerical modelling, energy analysis, material processing and mechanical and chemical engineering. Researchers from various scientific centres will greatly influence the anticipated results of our investigation. The project will also provide the opportunity to transfer knowledge to the Host institution and for experienced local staff members to receive invaluable training in foreign laboratories, which will improve their scientific and technical skills. The main purpose of the project is to set up a framework of Bio-fuels and Solid Oxide Fuel Cells with Micro Gas Turbines hybrid systems, with great mobility among the researchers from the various universities and research centres involved.
This will be accomplished through the creation of a consortium of EU higher education institutions, which will develop a joint research and study programme. The research topic of this project is fully compatible with EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Communication from the Commission: ENERGY FOR THE FUTURE: RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY - White Paper for a community Strategy and Action Plan (COM (97) 599 final (26/11/1997)).
