Partner search under Horizon 2020 programme
The University of Wolverhampton, in the UK, is looking for partners in order to submit a project proposal under the Horizon 2020 programme, Call: Greening the Economy in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS), Topic CE-SC5-06-2018: New technologies for the enhanced recovery of by-products
The
environment is increasingly being endangered by the introduction of
greenhouse gases which are continuously produced from gas flaring due to
intense processing in the oil and gas sector. Currently, total volume
of gas flared globally amounts to 100 billion cubic meters (BCM)
annually which is a huge waste as well causing severe environmental
damage. This data indicates the urgent need to conduct research aimed at
addressing both the environmental impact of gas flaring and the
economic implications.
The project “New technologies for enhanced recovery of natural gas (CH4)” aims
to research on the economic viability of using gas to wire (GTW)
technology as an integral component of gas flare management. The key
objective would be to evaluate the technological feasibility and
economic viability of purifying potential flare gas and using the
recovered components as raw materials for other processes. The benefit
is twofold: natural gas (CH4) and H2 would be recovered from flue gas
which could be used for other multiple downstream processes, complement
the shortfall in energy supply especially in developing countries, and
massive reduction on the impact of flared gas on the environment.
Partners sought:
Industrial partners in the chemical processing industry, Partners
operating in oil and gas sector, Academic partners (in the field of
chemistry, and chemical and process engineering).
Deadline for proposal submission: 27 February 2017 (two-stage proposal submission)
