NeCruPro - Microalgae - the fuel of the future
In future, bio-fuels generated from microalgae could become feasible. Production and processing can take place in existing infrastructures such as refineries.
New market potential for Wood Plastic Composites by applications for injection moulding
Wood Plastic Composites (WPC) should gain new market potential and create new value via applications in injection moulding. Therefore it is necessary to develop a formulation suitable for injection moulding to access the existing market potential.
New potentials using hardwood with small diameters in forestry and timber industry
Identification of potentials to use hardwood with small diameters (SDH) in Austria with the help of the value added chain from the forest's location to the processor. Analysis and evaluation of availability, quality and market potential.
Options for funding the "SMEs of the future" with Green Money
Creating all the necessary fundamentals for a future standard in funding the "SMEs of the future" with private equity in order to close the money gap of these companies by providing "green money".
PHELICITI - A new generation of chips in 3D
A chip that combines the best of two worlds: intelligent electronics meets fast photonics.The one-chip solutions developed by PHELICITI are scalable and can be produced cost effectively.
PRO WISSEN - Strategy and methods for a regionally embedded process of knowledge transfer aiming at introducing sustainable products and services in small and medium sized crafts enterprises
Development of a strategy and a down-to-earth and user-friendly set of methods for a regionally embedded process for the transfer of knowledge between crafts enterprises (SME) in order to introduce sustainable products and services in crafts enterprises
Pharma-Mould - In just three minutes to a finished tablet
Injection moulding is well-established in plastics manufacturing. But it can also be impressively used to produce pharmaceuticals.
Phytozid - Application of tansy extract and its ingredients as insecticides against the codling moth
Extraction of insecticidal active substances in pilot plant scale from tansy for field trials against the economically important pest codling moth (Cydia pomonella) as well as approval procedure in order to develop alternative strategies for naturally based plant protection.
Pilot machine for the production of lightweight sandwich-elements in batch mode consisting only of one polymer component.
Further development of a new technology for the production of lightweight sandwich-elements consisting only of one polymer component (for example polypropylene). This pilot machine is the basis to get all the necessary figures and experience for the development of the production machine and to produce the first parts of the car bodies for the zero series.
Pilot-Biogas plant consisting of prefabricated units
Construction of a biogas tank built of prefabricated reinforced concrete elements, erected and operated at an existing biogas plant in Bruck an der Leitha. The precast concrete technology promised a lot of advantages but also posed a lot of questions that had to be solved. These problems considered especially the sealing method and the general construction with precast concrete elements.
Positioning of sustainable gardening products in retail sales markets
Market analysis for sustainable gardening products and research of marketing strategies. Promotion of a range of sustainable products in the Austrian retail sales market specialized in gardening. Development of a concept for implementation together with one Austrian chain of garden centres (bellaflora).
Production management for sawmills based on flow of material, energy and production orders
A comprehensive planning approach for the short term flow of material, energy and production orders in sawmills in order to improve the value added in the wood supply network.
Pyrolysis technologies in Europe
Technology overview of medium-fast pyrolysis for decentralised applications, for small and medium-sized enterprises and for the circular economy
Quantitative and qualitative identification of relevant secondary raw material flows in Austria
In the course of the raw material initiative, the European Commission classified a number of elements and basic materials (including rare earth elements, gallium, germanium, platinum group metals and tantalum) as critical raw materials because of their doubtful future access. In order to operate appropriate recycling of these particular critical raw materials, the primary aim of the present project is to identify the waste streams and to investigate their quality and the quantity of critical raw materials. As a basis for presented aim a "Secondary Raw Material Map Austria 2030", which represents the theoretical, the real and in the future reachable potential of this critical secondary raw materials, is developed.
RACEMAN - Ceramics in 3D-printing: The material of the future
High performance ceramics are temperature-resistant and highly durable. A new production method makes it feasible for small batches.
Recommendations for funding criteria to promote system benefits for medium and large battery storage systems
Market analysis and stakeholder process
Recovery of biomolecules from condensates of process gases during thermal refinement of wood for the development of new wood products.
The exhaust vapors of the process of refinement of wood are not longer seen as industrial waste but a starting point for added value from products used in the timber industry, which represents a new approach for sustainable utilisation of wood.
Reduction of Broke in Paper Production
Development of a measurement and control system that detects paper deformation during production. Thus, broke is reduced, significant savings in energy use are achieved, and the economic efficiency is well increased.
Repair initiatives in Europe: innovations, business models, recommendations. Experiences from the PREPARE network
The European Union and many countries in Europe have begun to take individual measures to-wards “increasing the repair rate” here and there. With the help of surveys and interviews, which were carried out with the support of contacts provided by the “PREPARE” network, which has ex-isted for almost 30 years, this work collects information about such measures in other European countries - especially regarding “best practice examples” and “lessons learned” – and analyzes their transferability to Austria.
Rerex - Environmentally friendly high-tech metal processing
The West still has a lot to learn about processing rare earth elements. New methods set out to remedy this - and save resources, too.
