#  Data Summary

ICO2CHEM aims at developing a new production concept for converting waste CO
2  to valueadded chemicals. The focus is on the production of white oils and
high molecular weight aliphatic waxes. The technological core of the project
consists in the combination of a Reverse Water Gas Shift (RWGS) reactor
coupled with an innovative modular Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reactor. The aim of
the project is to demonstrate the production of white oils and aliphatic high
molecular weight waxes from industrial CO  2  and H  2  streams at Industrial
Park Höchst in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. During the project, the
experimental data is generated related to development of catalysts, reactors,
product analysis and demonstration runs. In addition, market, techno-economic
and life cycle analysis will be produced. Those analyses require experimental
data obtained during the project.

Data generated will be mainly numerical data (e.g. analytical data, test
results) and graphical data (e.g. process flow charts, P&I diagrams) in
electronic format. The project will also generate project management
documents, such as minutes of the meetings, deliverables and progress reports.

#  FAIR data

2.1 Making data findable

According to practices established in other EU projects coordinated by VTT,
the official data (i.e. consortium agreement, reports, deliverables, minutes,
meeting presentations, publications, publication permissions, etc) will be
stored centrally on VTT’s External SharePoint server, where all partners have
an access to the data.

Raw data will be stored in accordance to internal rules of each partner.
However, when needed the raw data can be also shared between the partners via
SharePoint.

2.2 Making data openly accessible

During the project, the data will be used by the consortium members. After the
project is closed, all requests for further use of data will be considered
carefully and whenever possible approved by the Coordinator and by the General
Assembly. Permission for data use will be granted providing there are no IPR
or confidentiality issues involved or any direct overlap of research questions
with the primary research.

All essential results will be documented as deliverable reports. Written
deliverables will be stored on the VTT’s external SharePoint server. All
partners have an access to all documents stored on the SharePoint server. Most
of the deliverables produced during the project are confidential. With the
approval of partners, the results will be disseminated through several routes
described in DoA and D8.2 Dissemination plan.

2018/05/04 Version 1, 4

Open access publication will be ensured to all peer-reviewed scientific
publications. All publications are under the permission policy described in
the CA: Prior notice of any planned publication and patent application shall
be given to the other Parties at least 30 calendar days before the
publication. Any objection to the planned publication shall be made in
accordance with the Grant Agreement in writing to the Coordinator and to the
Party or Parties proposing the dissemination within 21 calendar days after
receipt of the notice. If no objection is made within the time limit stated
above, the publication is permitted. In case of objection, it has to include a
precise request for necessary modifications. The objecting Party can request a
publication delay of not more than 90 calendar days from the time it raises
such an objection. After 90 calendar days, the publication is permitted
provided that confidential Information of the objecting Party has been removed
from the Publication as indicated by the objecting Party.

2.3 Increase data re-use (through clarifying licences)

The publication permission procedure described in Section 2.2.2 must be
followed during the Project, and one year after the project. Permission for
data use will be granted providing there are no IPR or confidentiality issues
involved.

#  Allocation of resources

The Coordinator is responsible for data management in the project. Data
management is included in Task 8.2 Intellectual property rights (IPR) and
exploitation. Costs related to open access publishing are included in
partners’ budgets.

#  Data security

SharePoint data backups are taken every day. The SharePoint workspace will be
maintained 20 years after the end of the project. It will also guarantee the
availability of SharePoint documents for the same period. VTT is responsible
for the maintenance of the SharePoint workspace.

#  Ethical aspects

The project does not raise any ethical issues mentioned in the administrative
proposal form.

All participants in this project are committed to the responsible engineering
principles and will conform to the current legislation and regulations in
countries where the research will be carried out. Ethical standards and
guidelines of Horizon2020 will be rigorously applied regardless of the country
in which the research is carried out. The ethical principles of the research
integrity will be respected as set out in the European Code of Conduct for
Research Integrity  1  .
