Bio bitumen - bitumen substitute based on renewable raw materials and resulting in energy efficient asphalt
Development of a binder for asphalt based on renewable raw materials. Studies to choose the ideal natural base product, regarding the aspect of utilization of remaining material and the elaboration of practical methods of synthesis were made.
Bio-Minimum-Lubrication
Development of a Minimum quantity lubrication system employed in metal working industry using an oil-in-water emulsion based on renewable primary products.
Bio-R: Applications for treating Cellulosic bodies with supercritical carbon dioxide
The target of this project is the screening of the opportunities, resulting of the combination of treating Cellulosic bodies with supercritical carbon dioxide. In general, the change of the porous structure depending on the way of fiber drying and the opportunity to incorporate active compounds and the development of analytical methods to track them within Cellulosic bodies.
Bio-based substitution of fossil raw materials and products
To support the bio-based substitution of fossil raw materials and products, the fossil material flows in Austria for the reference year 2015 were collected and analysed. Furthermore, a broad bio-based technology research was part of the present study.
BioZinGa - New source of rare metals
Raw materials such as zinc and indium are in greater demand by the high-tech industry than ever before. By means of leaching, metals can be recovered from mining residue.
Biobased Plastics Scenario 2050 - plastics made from renewable resources
A “2050 scenario - plastics made from renewable resources (bio-based plastics)” has been developed. The hypothetical target of this scenario is for bio-based plastics to have a 100 % market share of product manufacturing in the EU. The scenario provides the basis for further national RTI activities and for recommendations for regulation.
Biokustik - Acoustic panels in circular fibre casting with wood fibres
The consortium, consisting of two company and two research partners, is pursuing the goal of making the wood fibre material, from which normally hardboards are made in the so-called wet process without the addition of binders, suitable for processing in the circular fibre casting technology, and to design an acoustic panel for improved room acoustics using the developed fibre material and the fibre moulding process. The new acoustic panel can be recycled and reused to make new fibre-moulded parts and has the potential to replace common acoustic panels made from environmentally harmful materials.
BitKOIN - CO2-reduced binding agent through thermochemical conversion of mineral wool waste combinations
In the BitKOIN project, conceptual, experimental and model research activities are conducted in order to develop a substitute material for ground-granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). First, mineral wool waste and other mineral residues, which are required as additives to achieve the desired chemistry, are sampled representatively. The materials are then characterized chemically, mineralogically and physically and are additionally classified according to waste regulations. By thermochemical conditioning of the mineral wool waste, combined with the other waste materials, the "Huettensand 2.0" (GGBS 2.0) is developed. The project aims to develop the "Huettensand 2.0" , a durable GGBS substitute.
BuildReUse ‐ 100 percent re‐use and recycling in buildings with short usage cycles
Some buildings, such as supermarkets or office buildings, are often demolished and rebuilt after a few years or at least have their interiors changed, turning large quantities of building components into waste. The BuildReUse project aims to develop circular economy concepts for these buildings and to promote the necessary change in the construction industry.
Business model innovations for rental and service models in the manufacturing sector
The project aims to contribute to a better understanding of the economic and ecological potentials of an implementation of lending and service models in the manufacturing sector in Austria and to show which changes and R&D efforts are necessary so that these can be realized by suitable business models.
CE4ALL – Circular economy for all – Incentives, enablers and inhibitors for sustainable consumption
Based on an analysis of current milieu-specific consumption behavior, the CE4ALL project aims to identify sector-specific incentives and enablers for strengthening the circular economy and to uncover inhibitors. Another focus of this work is the consideration of inclusion aspects. CE4ALL is working on a consumption-centered investigation beyond the previously production-oriented considerations of the circular economy.
CEPAM – Circular Economy Powder for Additive Manufacturing
In the CEPAM research project, a recycling process for high-quality metal powders for additive manufacturing is developed. Various methods of energy input are being evaluated for energy efficiency, scalability and powder quality and built up on a pilot scale. The recycled metal powder is characterized and processed in the Laser Powder Bed Fusion process. In order to compare the mechanical properties of the printed components, parts are printed from both new and recycled powder.
CFLIBS Steel Slag - A competitive edge, as hard as steel
If Austria wishes to remain an attractive industrial location for high-tech companies, it needs top-notch steel manufacturing. An improved measuring method for steel slag makes a vital contribution to this.
CICA - Chlorella in circular aquaculture
Project CICA allows the detailed investigation of fish wastewater and its treatment by algae cultivation, as well as the design and construction of a special photobioreactor to purify wastewater and produce fish at the same time.
CMEMPRO - Surface polish with innovative character
Sometimes, the essential lies on the surface. Enhanced measurement methods have optimized C-MEM membrane production, and higherperforming fibers increase resource effectiveness.
CPC-lightweight construction collector
On the basis of our relieable CPC-collector SOLARFOCUS S1 we develop the CPC-lightweight construction collector to get more material efficiency and maximum output of solar hightemperature energy.
CSR:H - Circular Social Residency Informationhub
CSR:H is developing an innovative prototype for the survey and evaluation of the potential for the subsequent use of the building stock of social housing developers. Development of an innovative tool that uses archive data to optimize the use of building materials/products after their first phase of use and the long-term planning and operational implementation in social housing. It combines early predictions of the strategic utilization of resources with post-use scenarios and take-back agreements.
Candles, based on regional, renewable raw-materials
Feasibility study of candles based on growing again, regional raw materials, corresponding to todays market demands and produced with current production techniques.
Cascading BIOMATTERS for wellness and life-style
This application oriented and basic research aims to develop a pilot-master-project in the region of eastern Styria and Burgenland for the cascading use of regional cultivated plants and plant-residues in order to produce wellness and lifestyle-products - by which the creation of value is strongly realated to the functional qualities of the available biomatters.
