Objective of Project Idea:
Val-COCAP will deliver the industrial validation and optimisation of a modular 1500L BioTron Tower photobioreactor for carbon capture and utilisation. The project addresses key barriers in algae-based systems, including performance instability, high energy demand, and limited economic viability. A structured 36-month programme will validate system performance under real-world conditions, establishing quantified productivity and CO₂ capture metrics. Energy consumption and carbon balance will be rigorously assessed to determine system efficiency and environmental impact. The project integrates advanced AI-driven control to optimise operational parameters and improve system stability. A digital twin model will enable simulation-based optimisation and validation of control strategies prior[...]

Objective of Project Idea:
Growing environmental concerns and increasingly strict VOC regulations are driving the coatings industry towards sustainable and low-emission binder technologies. In response to this challenge, this project focuses on the development of bio-based high-solid alkyd resins derived from hemp oil for use in low-VOC and environmentally friendly coating systems. Alkyd resins are widely used in the paint and coatings industry due to their excellent film-forming properties, ease of application and good adhesion. However, conventional alkyd resins typically contain high amounts of organic solvents, leading to significant VOC emissions that pose serious risks to environmental quality and human health. In line with[...]

Objective of Project Idea:
We are proposing a feasibility study to validate a new class of offshore wind turbine tower – the rotatable, self-aligning Wind Rider system. The system introduces a teardrop-shaped aerodynamic tower that can yaw passively with the wind by means of a bearing at the tower base. This eliminates the need for the heavy and maintenance-intensive nacelle yaw system currently used on conventional wind turbines. By moving the yaw mechanism to the base, the tower can achieve substantial reductions in tower base bending moments (up to 78% compared to fixed towers) and improve the structural efficiency of the entire turbine support[...]

Objective of Project Idea:
The BioVal project will demonstrate a modular, circular system that transforms municipal food waste and agricultural residues into permanent carbon removal and climate-positive products. Led by Nellie Technologies (UK), the consortium will include a waste owner/operator to supply real feedstocks and host the pilot, and a network partner specialising in verification, industrial adoption, or market offtake. The innovation integrates three proven processes into a relocatable unit: (1) aerobic digestion to extract nutrient-rich digestate, (2) microalgal photobioreactors to rapidly grow biomass on these nutrients while capturing CO₂, and (3) pyrolysis to convert the biomass into stable biochar with >1,000-year permanence. A[...]

Objective of Project Idea:
Across Europe, many residential and public buildings—especially multi-tenant complexes—still depend on conventional electricity meters without communication capabilities. This prevents energy service providers, building owners, and tenants from accessing real-time consumption data, limiting energy efficiency, anomaly detection, and participation in flexibility markets. Retrofitting these legacy infrastructures with smart meters is costly and disruptive, delaying digitalization. The project will deliver a retrofit-ready IoT metering device for both single-phase and three-phase systems, with embedded edge computing for real-time data processing. Combined with an open-source integration layer, the solution guarantees full data sovereignty while enabling seamless interoperability with third-party platforms. The project will also[...]
