There are currently 2666 active satellites orbiting the Earth to support the world’s telecommunication, navigation, exploration, and security systems. These satellites downstream a deluge of data to the Earth where most of the processing/analysis is performed, due to the lack of reliable on-board computing capabilities at the satellites. The introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) at earth stations has allowed us to process such big-data in more efficient ways, overall, boosting our capabilities. Nonetheless, the key bottleneck remains – better progress cannot be realized without addressing the bandwidth constraint. Henceforth, all of these data are then relayed to the cloud servers to be processed by artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and, hereafter, feed the end-user meaningful information. Henceforth, nowadays data transmission and governance are inefficient. Moreover, if we do not revolutionize the way we process our data, we have to continuously dependent on cloud technology, which will be a major problem in the future. Besides its technical disadvantages (risk of data confidentiality, prone to network congestion, etc.), a cloud system is power-hungry, high operational and maintenance cost, and expanding a new server will consume a large area of land. These aspects significantly contribute to the increase of carbon and silicon footprint that damage the environment. The project proposes a disruptive concept by bringing the AI itself available on the sky, where the satellites have the autonomous computation power to differentiate signal to noise before transmitting the data to Earth, directly to the end-user. This work exploits an emerging memristor technology for making AI hardware accelerator as the “computing element” on board the satellite. The architectonic of memristor not only delivers lightweight, low power, fast, and dense AI chip, but also rad-hard; these are the crucial factors that will keep the cost of deployment to space minimum.

Virtualisation and software networks are a major disruptive technology for communications networks, enabling services to be deployed as software functions running directly in the network on commodity hardware. However, deploying the more complex user-facing applications and services envisioned for 5G networks presents significant technological challenges for development and deployment. SONATA addresses both issues. For service development, SONATA provides service patterns and description techniques for composed services. A customised SDK is developed to boost the efficiency of developers of network functions and composed services, by integrating catalogue access, editing, debugging, and monitoring analysis tools with service packaging for shipment to an operator. For deployment, SONATA provides a novel service platform to manage service execution. The platform complements the SDK with functionality to validate service packages. Moreover, it improves on existing platforms by providing a flexible and extensible orchestration framework based on a plugin architecture. Thanks to SONATA’s platform service developers can provide custom algorithms to steer the orchestration of their services: for continuous placement, scaling, life-cycle management and contextualization of services. These algorithms are overseen by executives in the service platform, ensuring trust and resolving any conflict between services. By combining rapid development and deployment in an open and flexible manner, SONATA is realising an extended DevOps model for network stakeholders. SONATA validates its approach through novel use-case-driven pilot implementations and disseminates its results widely by releasing its key SDK and platform components as open source software, through scientific publications and standards contributions, which, together, will have a major impact on incumbent stakeholders including network operators and manufacturers and will open the market to third-party developers.

This project is aimed at applying laccases enzymes from lactic acid bacteria (LAB) to eliminate undesirable substances in wines such as toxic compounds (biogenic amines-BA and ochratoxin A-OTA) and off-flavors (volatile phenols - VP) produced from yeasts, fungi and bacteria during the winemaking process. Wine has become a daily consuming-product and the EU is the world’s leading wine producer (60% of world production). To guarantee food quality and safety control for consumers, winemakers normally use physical and chemical methods to reduce toxins and off-flavours in wines, which will be replaced with LAB laccases to avoid environmental and health problems. The main objective of this project is to explore the structure, practical applications, and the activity of LAB laccases on BA, OTA and VP in wines and determine and quantify their degradation products in order to improve the wine quality. Specific objectives are to look for new LAB enzymes to eliminate aromatic defects and toxins in wine and determine their degrading products on BA, OTA and VP, to explore their structure and new applications, to discover chaperons that improve laccases expression and to evaluate the enzymatic activity on wine quality. In order to accomplish these objectives, four stages of the project have been established, which include the genome mining and laccases expression and purification, their activity evaluation in wine and the search of the protein structure. To achieve all these goals, it is required a large combination of technical and transversal skills that will greatly improve the potential of the candidate to become a leader in wine bacteria biotechnology given his background as Biochemical Engineer and his previous experience as researcher in the line of biochemical processes modelling and to enhance his employability opportunities. The knowledge and results generated from this project can be transferred to the wine/food industry with great benefits in quality and safety.

Through the 2012-2017 ERC Advanced Grant project ICE&LASERS, we have developed an innovative glacier probe, which includes an embedded laser spectrometer. It will drill down the Antarctic ice sheet in a single run, to measure in situ and real-time the depth profile of water isotopes and methane in trapped gases, with the aim to solve a major challenge in paleoclimate science. To test the performance of the laser spectrometer in a realistic and non-controlled environment, in 2014 it was deployed for measuring dissolved methane in seawater (an easier environment to access compared with Antarctica). As a result of a fast response time of only 30 seconds (compared to 15-20 min for commercially available instruments), a unique continuous profile of dissolved methane was measured to a depth of 600 m within 10 min. Finances from an Innovation Fast Track incubator were obtained in July 2015 to explore the commercial potential of this dissolved methane sensor and to build a demonstrator allowing for real-time 3D mapping. However, the true potential and uniqueness of our technology is that it can be developed to measure – in situ and real-time – multiple dissolved gases (like CH4, N2O, C2H6) and isotopic ratios (e.g., D/H, 13C/12C), which would mean a major step forward for oceanographic research and exploration. OCEAN-IDs aims to proof the concept (not scheduled to be funded by the ERC AdG project) of measuring multiple dissolved gases and isotopic ratios from seawater using our state-of-the-art laser spectrometer technology combined with novel sample extraction methods and real-time data visualisation. The objective is to develop a new generation of in-situ oceanographic instruments at TRL7 that can be taken to market.

The proposed STEELANOL project is based on producing bioethanol via an innovative gas fermentation process using exhaust gases emitted by the steel industry. The proposal addresses the specific topic “Demonstrating advanced biofuel technologies” (LCE-12– 2014), under the call for competitive low-carbon energy in Horizon2020. The BF/BOF gaseous emissions are an unavoidable residue from the steelmaking process and are currently used for electricity production or being flared. Nevertheless, they can be advantageously used to produce bioethanol, thereby reducing the usage of fossil fuel molecules and thus significantly reducing GHG emissions. The bio-ethanol production would have a GHG impact that is over 65% lower compared to oil derived fuels STEELANOL’s main objective is to demonstrate the cost-effective production of sustainable bioethanol, with the purpose of assessing the valorisation of this ethanol biofuel as a fuel derivative for the transport sector. A demonstration plant of approximately 64,000 tons/ethanol per year will be built; the first of its kind in Europe, and the largest facility built to date utilizing this technology globally. ArcelorMittal is the lead partner of this project and proposal. The gas fermentation technology will be supplied by LanzaTech, the engineering work will be performed by Primetals, and E4Tech will develop the Life Cycle Assessment of the produced fuels. Several key players in the transport sector, Boeing, Virgin Atlantic, Mitsui, have expressed their strong interest and support for the project.

Fire suppression and explosion protection have used halons in many applications because they are electrically nonconductive, dissipate rapidly without residue, are safe for limited human exposure, and are extremely efficient in extinguishing most types of fires. However they have a very strong Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP). The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was designed to reduce the production and consumption of ozone depleting substances in order to reduce their abundance in the atmosphere, and thereby protect the earth’s fragile ozone Layer. Many international organisations like the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) have mandated earliest production and import phaseout of halons. Substitutes are reviewed on the basis of ozone depletion potential, global warming potential, toxicity, flammability, and exposure potential. The EFFICIENT project will investigate the use of environmentally friendly agents like water mist spray, inert gas flooding etc. and undertake extensive investigation of their fire suppression effectiveness and extinguishing concentration. It will also establish the agent distribution profile over time at standard atmospheric conditions. Based on the inputs from these investigations, the project will design a suitable fire suppression system for cargo holds of aircraft which are reliable, consistent and safe. A demonstrator will be developed to test the fire suppression system in accordance with the full scale fire tests prescribed by the minimum performance standards promulgated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The project will deliver technology at a maturity of TRL 6

The Cable Sentry project will provide sensitive, real-time subsea high voltage (HV) cable monitoring to the offshore wind farm industry. By coupling the fibre optic cable to the HV cable faults can be easily identified and pre-located from acoustic signals. With 90 wind farms in development across Europe with 20000 km of subsea cabling by 2020, a daily offline cost to the energy companies of €300,000 and an increasing fault occurrence rate of up to 5-8 faults per 1000 km per year in early wind farm lifetime Cable Sentry has great potential. Our prototype has been proven to provide a 50-60% time and cost saving on fault ID and location when trialled. In addition, our system does not require seabed installation and can cover cables up to 120 km in length meeting the trend for the increasing distance to shore. Cable Sentry provides value added functionality as it is able to locate and measure free-span, indicate burial depth and wave height useful for cable surveying and condition monitoring. We are seeking funding for formation of a detailed business plan to demonstrate our comprehensive strategy to move our product from TRL6 to TRL8 within a Phase 2 project. We will develop a strong sales and marketing plan that will allow us to meet the growth increase anticipated due to our holding sole European distribution rights for Cable Sentry. Phase 2 work will include large-scale pilot trials for data collection and analysis to tune our algorithms to cover all potential fault types and cable positioning possibilities. Cable Sentry will enable Electricity Distribution Services Ltd (EDS) to achieve our vision to become the leading HV asset management company for offshore wind farms in Europe. We are looking to provide real time cable fault location and maintenance, asset surveying and HV support throughout plant lifetime. The Cable Sentry project is forecast to generate €35 million for EDS in the 5-years post commercialisation with an ROI of 7:1.
