CARTIF PROJECTS
ECLOSION
Generation, management and usage of green hydrogen and biomethane at pilot plant scale
Description
The scope of ECLOSION includes all the value chain focused on green H2 and biomethane – from bioresidues to energy usage – including research in new materials, components, technologies (subsystems) and processes, as well as its integration in the energy system, addressing different areas of action proposed by the Mision 2 “Boost a safe, efficient and clean energy for XXI century”.
The general objective of the project is the research and development of new solutions at a pilot plant scale at a laboratory level (including relevant environment in “living labs”) for the generation, management and usage of green hydrogen (including bioH2) and biomethane, using the bioresiudes as abundant quality resource, in a stable and affordable mode, among which stand out in Spain the organic fraction of waste, agro-foodstuffs, sewage sludge and wastewater as having the greatest potential for energy production.
The research will be carried out in a controlable environment (laboratories) and in a relevant environment because part of the experimentation will be developed in 4 “living labs”: EDAR Salamanca, CTR Valladolid, EDAR Lleida and EDAR Jerez de la Frontera.
Objectives
CARTIF Foundation have been outsourced by 3 companies for the development of the following obiectives:
- IDECAL for the research of several solvents that optimize the functioning of a membrane contactor system for the splitting of CH4 and/or H2 and gaseous mixtures qith high level in CO2 (as it can be a syngas or biogas) with a recovery purity for the objective gases over the 99%.
- CADE for the development of catalysts to improve the supercritical waste gasification process.
- FCC to analyse the properties and behaviour of the mix matrix membranes (MMM) developed by the University of Valladolid for the splitting of biohydrogen from CO2 produced during the dark fermentation, and from the biohydrogen nad methane mixture produced during th supercritical gasification.
Actions
- Study of supercritical gasification reaction of biowaste and sanitised digestate from the DUAL 2.0 process, FORS waste, agri-food and WWTP sludge.
- Study of operation conditions of supercritical gasification process.
- Study of catalyzed reaction.
- Mixtures splitting CH4/H2/CO2 produced in advanced processes of resiudes treatments by mix matrix membranes G/G.
- Gaseous mixtures splitting (H2/CHA/CO2) and CO2 capture using membrane contactor G/L.
Expected Results
- Knowledge in supercritical gasification by the use of heterogeneous catalysers.
- Knowledge in splitting gaseous mixtures (H2/CH4/CO2) using polymeric membranes of mix matrix.
- Knowledge in splitting gaseous mixtures (H2/CH4/CO2) using membrane contactors.
- Knowledge in degasification of solvents with membrane contactors.
- Knowledge in in cleaning gas streams generated by anaerobic fermentation or gasification processes.
R&D Line
Technologies of splitting/upgrading gaseous mixtures (CH4, CO2, H2, syngas): contactors, membranes, scrubbers, etanation processes, ionic liquids.

Networking
Circular Economy and Biotechnology 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.
