Theme: Public-private partnerships
Destination: Fuel Cells and Hydrogen
Action type: Coordination and support actions
Partnership: FCH (Art-185)
Countries involved: Sweden,United Kingdom,Denmark,Denmark,Germany
Call:  (FCH-JU-2012-1, 2012)
Start date: 2013-10-01
End date: 2014-09-30
Duration (months): 12.0

Project status: CLOSED

The overall purpose and ambition of HyAC is to address the two main obstacles for accurate and legal metering for commercial hydrogen fuel dispensing: - Validate and demonstrate that state-of-the-art hydrogen mass flow metering can meet expected legal requirements by conducting accuracy testing - Analyse existing legislation & standards on gas fuel metering accuracy and provide detailed recommendations on how hydrogen can be included and handled The outcome of the HyAC project will primarily be a report named: ““Recommendations for legal requirements & procedures & for verification & approval of hydrogen metering accuracy”. Scope and purpose of the report will be to provide a thorough basis for later inclusion of hydrogen in the MID directive and OIML recommendation as well acting as a guideline for the handling of hydrogen by national authorities. In short term EU member countries may use HyAC results for individual handling legal accuracy processes for hydrogen. This may help enable an early roll-out of a hydrogen refueling infrastructure in key EU member countries where market introduction of fuel cell electric vehicles are considered, e.g. Germany, UK, Netherlands and Scandinavia. Also the HyAC project results can contribute to a potential inclusion of hydrogen in the European MID directive and OIML standard in medium to long term. This would provide a uniform approval process for hydrogen accuracy across Europe and help support a European wide roll-out of hydrogen refuelling infrastructure. To both collect input for the HyAC activities and secure a strong dissemination platform, networking and dialogue will be secured to authorities in selected EU member countries, working groups of MID and OIML, major European hydrogen initiatives (CEP, SHHP and UK/DE H2Mobilities) as well as major ongoing FCH-JU funded transport demonstration projects.

In the BioROBUR project a robust and efficient fuel processor for the direct reforming of biogas will be developed and tested at a scale equivalent to 50 Nm3/h production of PEM-grade hydrogen to demonstrate the achievement of all the call mandates. The system energy efficiency of biogas conversion into hydrogen will be 65%, for a reference biogas composition of 60%vol CH4 and 40%vol CO2. Key innovations of the BioROBUR approach are: - The choice of an autothermal reforming route, based on easily-recoverable noble-metal catalysts supported on high-heat-conductivity cellular materials, which shows intrinsic advantages compared to steam reforming: catalysts less prone to coking, easier adaptability to biogas changing composition, more compact design, efficient handling of heat, lower materials costs, fast start-up/shut-down, easier process control, etc. - The adoption of a multifunctional catalytic wall-flow trap based on transition metal catalysts, close coupled to the ATR reformer, which could entail effective filtration and conversion of soot particles eventually generated in the inlet part of the reformer during steady or transient operation, the decomposition of traces of incomplete reforming products (i.e. aldehydes, ethylene,…), the promotion of the WGS reaction to a significant extent so as to lower the size of the WGS unit, etc. - The adoption of a coke growth control strategy based on periodic pulses of air/steam or on momentary depletion of the biogas feed so as to create adequate conditions in the ATR reactor for an on-stream regeneration of the catalysts, thereby prolonging the operating lifetime of the catalysts with no need of reactor shut-down. Under the experienced coordination of Prof. Debora Fino, the project will integrate, in an industrially oriented exploitation perspective, the contribution of 9 partners (3 universities, 2 research centres, 3 SMEs and 1 large company from 7 different European Countries) with complementary expertise.

BULCANATU project wants to develop feasible techniques for advanced and cost effective composite manufacturing of aviation parts. The development of new epoxy resin Carbon Nanotube doping techniques compatible with Liquid Resin Infusion will open a new era on fabrication of aerospace parts with improved mechanical properties, thanks to nanoparticles. Future aircraft manufactured with doped CNT epoxy resins, would be the increase on electrical conductivity that could lead to the removal of cooper lightning protection mesh of advanced composite fuselage. The main issues to overcome are the dispersion and stability of the CNT over the epoxy resin, filtration phenomena within the infusion process, and the manufacture of high performance composite parts under “out of autoclave” conditions at greater viscosities than expected. Thanks to the joint venture between TR Composites and the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, all aspects of the call are covered with wide experience to achieve good results.

Over the past decades, experimental and computational advances have revolutionised our understanding of matter on the atomistic (microscopic) scale. However, a computational analysis of problems involving multiple scales is difficult (often impossible ) and costly at best if very disparate scales have to be resolved simultaneously. Thus scale-bridging has become a central activity in physics, chemistry and biology; a rich mathematical theory underpinning this topic has been developed over the last two decades in particular. However, two challenges which are central for technological applications have not been resolved satisfactorily: 1) Materials with microstructures are typically anisotropic in a way which is difficult to analyse in detail with existing variational tools such as Gamma-convergence alone; 2) Out-of equilibrium effects such as those triggered by dynamics are poorly understood for materials with microstructures. We will address these two challenges, which are linked by the focus on microstructures, by combining the expertise of the applicant, who is from the leading school of Gamma-convergence, with the expertise of the mentors on anisotropic problems and variational approaches for dynamics. The project combines: i) an effective description of oscillatory Hamiltonian systems. Objective: to develop a new approach of deriving effective descriptions of effective Hamiltonians. ii) Analysis of phase transitions with internal microstructure. Objective: to establish new theories suitable to work with Gamma-convergence for problems with anisotropies.

Genetic basis of host adaptative traits in the plant pathogenic fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis (GATFUN)

Elucidating the genetic basis of adaptive traits is a central issue in evolutionary biology. Plant pathogenic fungi are interesting organisms to address this question since they are able to adapt rapidly to their environment. Through changes in their aggressiveness, they are notably able to erode quantitative host resistances, thereby threatening their durability. This project aims to elucidate the genetic basis of aggressiveness traits involved in the adaptation of a plant pathogenic fungus to this type of resistance. The study model is the fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis, responsible for a recent and devastating banana pandemic, Black Leaf Streak Disease (BLSD). This model displays biological characteristics which, when combined with available methods and resources, make it possible to take QTL mapping and population genomics approaches in a complementary manner. These methods have seldom been used in fungi. The power of these approaches is greatly increased by new-generation sequencing techniques. During the outgoing phase, I will be joining Stephen Wright's laboratory (University of Toronto, Canada), which is one of the most proficient laboratories in genetics and population genomics on plants using new-generation sequencing techniques. I will thus be able to effectively transfer these approaches to fungi on my return to my research unit (JRU BGPI, Montpellier, France). These new skills will enable me to strengthen the scientific project of my own research group and to become a leader in my scientific field. This stay will also broaden my network for greater international visibility. It will then contribute to the excellence of ERA, enhancing skills in research on plant pathogenic fungi and on banana in Europe. Lastly, the results of this project will serve to define durable strategies for controlling BLSD of banana, a plant grown in the EU outermost regions and important for world food security, and more generally for reduced pesticide use in crops.

The stellar mass content of galaxies is a key parameter to determine their properties and assess their evolution (e.g. via evolution of the stellar mass function [SMF] and scaling relations). However, our ability to measure stellar masses is limited by large systematic uncertainties and biases, which can reach up to factors of several for the youngest and most actively star-forming galaxies. One of the main problems is that the optical and near infrared (NIR) light that traces the stellar mass does it in a very non-linear way: the oldest stars and the most dust enshrouded ones can dominate the stellar mass although globally dimmer than the young and unobscured ones. "SteMaGE" is a systematic multi-wavelength effort to devise a methodology to properly weigh the stellar mass of the different components, resolved in time (via optical spectroscopy to constrain the star formation history [SFH]) and space (via spatially resolved analysis). Two state-of-the-art surveys, KINGFISH, ~65 galaxies imaged in the far IR with Herschel, and CALIFA, with spatially resolved "integral field" spectroscopy for ~600 galaxies, will be complemented with optical and NIR imaging. At each position in a galaxy the stellar mass density will be computed by comparing the observed optical/NIR emission with a library of models that reproduce different SFHs and dust attenuation. The far IR and spectral information will refine the prior distribution of models and reduce systematic uncertainties. These "optimal" stellar mass densities will be integrated and used to calibrate "cheaper" estimators based on fewer global optical/NIR fluxes. These can be adopted on large surveys, yielding systematic uncertainties of 10-20%. This new standard will be used to estimate the local SMF, providing a new unbiased reference for galaxy evolution models. The stellar mass maps will be used to unveil the real structure of galaxies and assess the importance of internal dynamical processes in galaxy evolution.

MULTITUDES is aimed at providing multidisciplinary and multisectorial training and mobility to a very promising researcher in order to further his career development so that he may become an independent and leading scientist either in the university or private sector. The researcher will receive training in an emerging field at the interface between Physics Materials-/Nano-/Supramolecular -Science and Electrical Engineering. The research program in MULTITUDES aims to develop both asymmetrically functionalised electrodes and multifunctional devices for organic electronics. This will be achieved by modifying adjacent metal (nano)electrodes with different self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) through a process of chemisorption and selective electrochemical desorption, and will include in this some SAMs that have properties sensitive to light or that can be switched electrochemically to confer additional functionality to the surface and ultimately to the device. Within this framework, MULTITUDES aims to: - Characterise competitive adsorption processes between SAM molecules, and build a library of competitive adsorption/desorption processes between candidate molecules. - Develop protocols for fabrication of asymmetric planar electrodes by adsorption and selective electrochemical desorption of SAM molecules. - Improve control of charge injection into organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) by incorporation of asymmetric SAM functionalised electrodes. - Map the local electrical characteristics of planar OFET devices incorporating asymmetric electrodes whilst under bias using scanning probe techniques in order to improve understanding of the physico-chemical properties ruling operation with a nanoscale spatial resolution. - Fabricate novel devices for application as sensors or as multifunctional logic gates whose properties can be switched between two states through interaction of an external (non-electrical) stimulus with the SAM functionalised electrode.

In this research, the fellow (Jayapal Reddy Mallareddy) will synthesize novel cell permeable fluorescent ruthenium complexes and demonstrate their utility for perturbing biological processes. This fellowship will build on the fellows expertise in synthetic chemistry (particularly peptide synthesis) applied at the biological interface, together with Leeds’ expertise in the design and synthesis of cell permeable inhibitors of protein-protein interactions. The project will ultimately furnish cell permeable fluorescent small molecules designed to act as inhibitors of key protein-protein interactions involved in disease development and progression. Such inhibitors can be used as tool molecules to understand biological processes, as sensors for malfunctioning proteins and as the starting point for development of new molecular therapeutics thus impacting the competitiveness of the EU, and the quality of life of its citizens, by facilitating new strategies for diagnosing and treating disease.
