CARTIF PROJECTS
0e-Mision
New generation of residual biomass energy exploitation systems without emissions to negative energy sources in carbon.
Description
The 0e-MISION project conceives the environment problem associated with polluting emissions as the great global challenge of the future. This project outlines a more sustainable energy future, with combustion energy installations without chimneys, not even below the established emission limits, that are capable of producing electrical and thermal energy at any scale, in a clena, safe, efficient way and more cheap.
Research in these solutions includes new concepts of combustion equipment, which allow greater control of the process and an energy use of new fuel resources, and new concepts of emissions purification (emissions biofilter) and optimal use of CO2 to produce plant materials through intensive greenhouse cultivation, through hydroponics.
All the research included in the scope of 0e-MISION will make it possible to conceive a new concept of energy generation by combustion without emissions, at a low cost and with a significantly lower carbon footprint associated with current systems. In addition, it should also be noted that the research promoted by 0e-MISION will generate a series of economic, social and environmental benefits associated with an auxiliary productive activity, which will create wealth and employment, and which also promotes both a more sustainable management of certain waste than currently they are considered as such and require specialized management.
Objectives
- Analysis of fuel depletion to improve emissions and generate “unburned” for commercial use.
- Evaluation of the potential use of “residues” as fuel for boilers (different in nature from conventional agricultural/forestry biomass).
- Research on a new generation of activated/modified hydrichars that allow the oxidation of CO to CO2 and from NO to NO2.
- Create plant substrates with the ability to absorb NO2 and particulate matter.
- Generate solutions for the use of CO2from emissions.
Actions
- Waste pretreatment to obtain solid fuels.
- Research on new combustion concepts.
- Activation and chemical modification of hydrochars.
- Research on new biofilter materials to capture emissions.
- Plant species with high CO2 uptake.Intensive greenhouse cultivation.
- Systems integration. Full pilot validation.
Expected Results
- This project outlines a more sustainable energy future, with combustion energy installations without chimneys, not even below the established emission limits, that are capable of producing electrical and thermal energy at any scale, in a clean, safe, efficient way and more cheap.
- A natural solution that can be integrated into an urban garden or green infrastructure that will allow the capture of emissions from combustion and similar processes.

Circular Economy and Biotechmology Projects:
LIFE VALPORC
The goal of the LIFE + VALPORC is to demonstrate a sustainable alternative to the management of pig carcasses and manure, focusing on the environmental problems derived from its current management and valorizing these wastes by transforming them into biofuels (biogas and biodiesel) and organic fertilizers,
LIFE SMART Hospital
The LIFE SMART Hospital Project has promoted the sustainability of the health sector through the deployment of best practices and available technologies, training programs and replication of experience.
VALOR-PLUS
The VALOR-PLUS supports the realisation of sustainable, economically viable closed loop integrated biorefineries through the development of new knowledge, (bio-)technologies and products that enable valorisation of key biorefinery by-products.
LIFE COLRECEPS
The main objective of the COLRECEPS project is the implementation of a prototype demonstration plant to recycle residual EPS and obtain EPS beads. With these pearls, new recycled EPS prototype products will be manufactured.
LIFE REVAWASTE
The LIFE REVAWASTE project (www.revawaste.eu) was born proposing the sustainable management of a broad spectrum of waste in an integrated plant or “Mixed Plant”.
LIFE EUCALYPTUS ENERGY
The LIFE EUCALYPTUS ENERGY Project consists of the pyrolysis of eucalyptus biomass for the production of electricity and biochar. It is intended to make use of the residual biomass of eucalyptus forest exploitation.
RECALZA
RECALZA proposes to develop a chemical recycling process of the generated polyurethane foam residues, to obtain the polyol again and re-manufacture new products (recycled soles) that meet the requirements for the footwear sector.
CONREPOL
The CONREPOL project will evaluate both chemical procedures based on the use of compounds that increase the surface polarity (silane coupling agents) of the waste and physical treatments with the same objective.
GREEN-CAR
The GREEN CAR ecodesign Project applies the ecodesign methodology to several components of the “electric vehicle” system: batteries, converter, charging points, conditioning systems and auxiliary systems from renewable sources
LIFE RESCATAME
RESCATAME represents a new system for the sustainable management of traffic through the use of models that predict pollution levels, which are supported by data collected by the network of air quality sensors, and that can help to execute a rapid action.
BIOREFINERÍA FT
The FT BIOREFINERY Project consists in developing a technology that allows obtaining 2nd generation liquid biofuels (synthetic diesel) and electrical energy, through the application of gasification and co-gasification processes, of different types of solid and / or liquid waste ( herbaceous biomass, lignocellulosic, glycerin, etc.)
BIALEMA
BIALEMA: RED for the production of Biofuels and its impact on food, energy and the environment. Conducted by Dr. Antonio Francisco Valdes Delgado (CUBAENERGIA).
BIORECOS
The BIORECOS Project aims to design and build a demonstration plant of a modular nature that allows, through pyrolysis, the production of charcoal and / or active coal, as well as the generation of electrical energy.
ENHANCE HEALTH
The ENHANCE HEALTH project focuses on environmental and health concerns related to air pollution produced by industries and waste incinerators in urban areas.
