New electrochemical solutions for industrial processing, which contribute to a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions -

Call text (as on F&T portal)

View on F&T portal
Specific Challenge:

Electrochemical processes have the potential to be highly efficient and thereby create less by-product waste compared to conventional chemical processes. Important reasons for the industrial interest include the use of less expensive starting materials, less aggressive process conditions (e.g. lower temperatures with less degradation of feed and/or product), fewer processing steps (for example electrochemical synthesis and product separation may be combined in one reactor), precise control of oxidation or reduction level by control of electrode potential and discovery of unique processing routes to establish new markets for products. In addition, electrochemical processes have the potential to replace polluting chemical reactions with more environmentally friendly electrochemical reactions.

Despite the large number of chemicals available in the market, electrochemical synthesis of chemicals has until now been limited to a narrow spectrum. However, advances in electrochemical synthesis and methods are now possible and facilitated by recent developments in materials science, nanotechnology, and by the development of new in-situ analytical techniques or the progress in multi-scale modelling. This provides opportunities for new approaches for the electrochemical manufacturing of products.

Intensive research into organic and inorganic electrochemical processing promises major developments in different applications, specifically with the prospect of greatly reduced electricity consumption and the use of electrical power generated from environmentally friendly production processes like wind and solar energy, thereby contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Scope

Proposals should develop new electrochemical methodologies for industrial processing and provide a proof of the economic and industrial feasibility of the new technologies. The proposed solutions should also have the potential for integration into existing industrial operations. A prospect for a wider impact of the proposed solutions on the process industry is also needed.

Important aspects that should be taken into account are:

  • Easy integration with renewable energy (electricity from renewable production sources).
  • Electrochemical synthesis and/or electrolysis which allows the direct creation of products (e.g. fuels, chemicals, metals, nanomaterials and new functional surface layers).
  • Ease of operation at low temperature and pressure conditions.
  • Integration of product produced into existing storage and supply infrastructures.
  • Significant improvements in energy and resource efficiency compared to the commercially available analogue (or similar process) with reduction of direct and/or indirect greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Improvement in safety and the work environment.
  • Life Cycle Assessment to provide a basis for environmental sustainability.

Projects will carry out demonstration activities in industrial environments aimed at confirming the industrial relevance and feasibility of the proposed technologies, showing the potential for integration in existing operations.

Activities are expected to focus on Technology Readiness Levels 4 to 6.This topic addresses cross-KET activities.

This topic is particularly suitable for SMEs.

The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU between EUR 4 and 6 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.

Expected Impact:
  • Decrease by 25% of energy use compared to related non-electrochemical processes
  • Decrease by 30% of Green House Gases emissions compared to related non-electrochemical processes
  • Strengthen the global position of European process industry through the wide adoption of new technologies related to electrochemical processing of materials in the different application actions.

Proposals should include a business case and exploitation strategy, as outlined in the Introduction to the LEIT part of this Work Programme.

Cross-cutting Priorities:

H2020-CIRC-2016-TwoStage, first stageThe evaluation of first stage proposals is now complete. The coordinators of proposals who failed to pass to the second stage have been informed in writing, and have each received an Evaluation Summary Report (ESR) setting out scores and comments.The “Flash info” published on the Participant Portal shows the key statistics related to this call, including number of proposals submitted, the number evaluated, and the number passing the thresholds and thus invited to the second stage.For successful first stage applicants, it is important to uphold the principle of equal treatment, and to ensure that all have a chance to benefit from the comments of experts. Therefore, instead of an ESR, this generalised feedback is provided now to all applicants invited to submit a full proposal at the second stage. You are kindly requested to take this feedback into account when preparing your full proposal. At the second stage you have a chance to address or clarify issues that should convince the second stage experts. Some or all of these experts may not be the same as those who reviewed your outline proposal.

Summary of main shortcomings in first stage successful proposals

CIRC-01:

• The objectives did not always include quantitative targets or these targets were not always convincingly supported.• The concept description was not always focused and clear on the innovation potential, the circular economy view, the economic mechanisms and governance required for a swift on a specific circular value chain.• The role of end-users was not always sufficiently described with regards to their importance in the value chain or their involvement is missing at early stages • The expected TRL was not always sufficiently substantiated.• Large scale demonstrations were not always sufficiently explained and/or did not always have a clear co-design approach to justify the need for such demonstrations.• Expected economic and environmental impacts were not always adequately quantified and/or were not always sufficiently explained in relation to the demonstration. • Business models were not always sufficiently presented.

CIRC-02:

• The objectives did not always include quantitative targets or they were not always convincingly substantiated.• Objectives addressing the relevant legal, societal and market challenges were not always present.• The interest among fertilizer companies or other potential end-users of the recycled nutrient was not always demonstrated. • The role of end-users of recycled nutrient was not always sufficiently described, and often defined to contribute only in the last stages of the proposed action.• Quantitative information supporting the expected impact of the action was not always presented.• Metrics for the final capacity of the technology and its outputs were not always described.
