Predicting Failure and Enhancing Design of Power Cable Risers for Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (PreFED-PCR)

Objective of Project Idea:
This project aims to ensure the structural integrity of Power Cable Risers (PCRs) used in Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FWTs), which face extreme dynamic loads from wind, waves, and turbine motion. The goal is to develop and validate a high-fidelity, multi-scale numerical model that captures PCR behaviour under such conditions and extends to predicting durability and failure using fracture mechanics principles. The approach combines advanced finite element analysis with fluid dynamics simulations, using both commercial software and custom tools developed with our partners at Brunel University London. Realistic met-ocean data will model long-term loading and assess failure risks. Experimental validation[...]

Establishing and validation of parameters for CO2 capture by microalgae in BioTron Tower

Objective of Project Idea:
To be able to mitigate the process of climate change, it is essential that ways are found to stop release of CO2 to the atmosphere. CO2 emissions can be reduced by generating energy with renewables, but the possibility of carbon capture directly from processes that emit CO2 offer an additional complementary approach. One way in which this can be done is to harness the ability of microalgae to capture CO2 using photosynthesis and to couple this to CO2 generated by fixed installations such as wastewater facilities, carbon emitting or industrial processes. To be able to deploy this approach to capture[...]

NGV – All Clear for Take-off: converting carbon-rich waste into SAF and other renewables via a low-cost catalytic process, which cuts over 90% of CO2 emissions throughout the product lifecycle. NGV aims to scale up to industrial production within 24 month

Objective of Project Idea:
NGV offers a patented catalytic process that converts a wide range of carbon-rich renewable feedstocks, including CO₂ emissions, into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and other renewable products. Unlike conventional Fischer-Tropsch (FT) technology, NGV’s process eliminates the need for extensive gas conditioning and product upgrading, reducing both CAPEX and OPEX by over 20%. With higher yields and feedstock flexibility, NGV ensures a scalable and cost-effective SAF production pathway. After successfully validating its patented technology in a mini-pilot facility, NGV has reached a critical milestone: scaling up its process to an operational pilot plant, a 400-fold expansion that will commence operations by[...]
